Re: FCPX + Mountain Lion + Dictation = A lot of fun!

I use the ScriptSync function in Media Composer for anything that is scripted or transcripted as it presents the most unique method by which to edit - so the more complete the transcript, the more accurate and granular the edit becomes when working directly off the tran(script).

In your scenario, the summary seems to work fine and perhaps these tools will find a place in your workflow.

I have been following these technologies for a long while now, and one of the more interesting ones is speaker identification is finally becoming something useable - so not only would a search include "someone that says this.." but also "who says it". Imagine dialog replacement... and in those scenarios, no script or transcript is needed. Tools like PhraseFind for Media Composer and Get for FCP and Premiere bring this type of technology to the end user. I am keeping a close eye on what that will become.
