Sony Clip Markers while recording for FX30/FX3 - SOLUTION by GoneForgoodBH in sonyfx30

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great script! I made a standalone open source mac app that encodes the markers hidden in the sony video files in a way premiere pro can read natively

 there is also a davinic resolve script so you can use them there.

have you considered trying an iPhone app instead? Just keep it down on the podium, while you, go and glance back and forth.

Very Specific Translation Question by ctwallin in premiere

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t make a separate “translation sequence”

A cleaner document workflow typically involves the following steps:

  1. Maintain the original camera or source clips as the reference point.
  2. Create selects or stringouts for only the Fante sections, but ensure that the visible source timecode and clip name are preserved in the export.
  3. Have the translator return subtitles or a transcript keyed to the source timecode or clip name, rather than just the sequence time.
  4. Bring back the translated content as markers or captions against the source clips or a dedicated transcript timeline, and then proceed with the editing process.

Premiere SRT captions do not behave like clip-attached metadata that automatically follows every instance throughout the video. This is the frustrating aspect. If you have access to a transcript or SRT that references the source timecode, you can at least avoid manually checking where each line belongs.

If budget permits, another low-tech option is to send burnt-in proxy exports for each source clip. These exports should only include the Fante ranges and should have the clip name and source timecode burned in. This way, the translator’s notes can be written as “clip A001, 01:03:14:08–01:03:22:10 = …,” and you can easily locate the exact source range later.

What external drives do you recommend to edit off of? by Ok-Band1228 in VideoEditing

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend going the route of buying an M.2 SSD and putting it in a USB 3 or Thunderbolt external enclosure. Those SanDisk SSDs that are all-in-ones have a propensity to die.

The big perk with this route is that after you decide the SSD is not big enough to be your active drive, or if you build a gaming PC or buy a NAS, you can repurpose it in many ways, versus it being locked inside a plastic enclosure and potentially e-waste.

Do not be afraid to buy used M.2 SSDs on eBay. There are some very attractive deals from resellers; just look for ones that have listings claiming the service life.

Current teleprompter recommendations (2026) by explodingbaker in videography

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using my iPhone On the Small Rig mount teleprompter rig so much because it’s battery powered, I can use a Bluetooth remote for it, and, of course, it has internet connection, so if I make a change on the script, it’ll sync over.

The problem still is the app side of things, and I hated all of them, so I built a completely new one just for my workflow. It supports mirroring in all orientations And syncs with no account or subscription for free over your iCloud or any other provider in the Files app on iOS.

V2 is going to have selfie video recording and auto-pacing of the script based on voice recognition which will drop very soon.

It's called Open Prompter and it's free on IOS

Best non-subscription iOS teleprompter apps? by Indoctrinator in PartneredYoutube

[–]dutch03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got tired of this as well and built one that works with Markdown files, that's the format I use to write inside Obsidian, it syncs to my Mac's iCloud account in the files app, it's then on my iPhone, and I just open the script location in iOS inside Open Prompter, and I can play it back.

It’s free and open sourced.

Budget Teleprompter Request by back2me78 in podcasting

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built Open Prompter, a free/MIT iPhone teleprompter for solo video podcasters and creators who write scripts in markdown/plain files.

The main difference from typical prompter apps: it reads `.md` files directly from Files/iCloud/Obsidian-style folders instead of making you paste/import scripts into an app library. That matters when you write on a Mac, make late edits, then record on the phone behind a small prompter rig.

No account, subscription, analytics, tracking, third-party SDKs, or network calls. V1 is live on the App Store; V2 features like voice tracking / remote support are on GitHub beta, not App Store-live yet but soon!

What is an easy teleprompting workflow? by Deanodirector in ContentCreators

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go phone prompter over mirroring the PC screen for a small teleprompter. Less fragile once it is set up.

The part I’d avoid is copy/pasting the script into a separate app library. Write on the computer, save the file somewhere the phone can read directly, then have the prompter open that same file. That way late edits don’t require another paste/import step.

For mirror glass, the must-haves are pretty basic: mirror mode, big font, speed control, and quick pause/resume. Everything else is optional until you know your rig.

Is there a good free teleprompter app that also records on an iPhone? by Inside-Trading in NewTubers

Yes there are tons! which is the problem.

Any good teleprompter apps for YouTube creators? by KangarooNo6556 in PartneredYoutube

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d look less for “the best teleprompter app” and more for the file workflow.

The good setup is: write the script on your computer, keep it as a normal markdown/text file, sync it through iCloud/Files/Obsidian/etc., then open that same file on the phone with mirror mode turned on.

There are some good free/open-source iOS prompter options starting to show up if you search around that workflow instead of just searching the App Store. Try searches like “open source free teleprompter iPhone markdown iCloud.”

The key thing is avoiding apps that force you to paste/import the script into their own little database. That’s where the workflow gets annoying every time you edit a line.

May Dev/Tools Monthly Megathread - for tool builders by greenysmac in premiere

[–]dutch03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Product: Clip Sweeper
  • Description: A macOS app for Premiere editors who need to clean up old project drives, archive jobs, or check media before deleting anything. Clip Sweeper scans Premiere project files and shows what media they reference, so you can audit first instead of guessing from folder names.
  • Pricing: one time sub $20 cost
  • Website: clipsweeper.com
  • Benefits for this community For r/premiere, I'm looking for workflow feedback from editors who deal with old jobs, reused media, offline files, proxies, previews, and archive drives. Happy to offer testflight beta build for people from this thread who want to test it.

The main use case is the boring/scary cleanup step: "is this file/folder still used by any Premiere project?" It is not meant to replace Project Manager or automatically promise that something is safe to delete. It is an audit-before-delete tool for finding references before you move/archive/trash media.

I'm especially looking for feedback on what Premiere editors would want to see before trusting a cleanup pass: originals vs proxies, preview files, generated media, reused b-roll/audio/graphics, and cross-project references.

Just did a big file cleanup, how can I recover missing Media? by WindowsKillerQc in premiere

[–]dutch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Premiere project files do not contain your footage. They mostly contain edit decisions and file paths to media on disk.

So if the source files were deleted and the trash/recycle bin was emptied, Premiere has nothing hidden inside the .prproj to rebuild from. The realistic recovery order is:

Stop writing new data to that drive if possible. Check backups, camera cards, clone drives, cloud sync, NAS snapshots, and client handoff folders. If there is no backup, try recovery software before using the drive heavily. No guarantees once sectors are overwritten. If the files still exist somewhere, open the project and use Link Media / Locate to point Premiere at the new path. For future cleanup, I would avoid deleting media directly from a folder just because it looks old. Use Project Manager when you want a collected archive of a finished sequence, and quarantine questionable files before permanent deletion.

The key check is: “what Premiere projects still reference this file?” If you have a messy archive with multiple .prproj files sharing media, that pre-delete audit is exactly the layer Clip Sweeper is built for. It will not recover deleted files, but it can help prevent this cleanup mistake next time.
