that standard speech analysis cannot provide.

To find and fix more errors, you can make side-by-side comparisons of the text of the Adobe Story script with the text of the speech analysis. If a
clip has a Story script attached to it, the script is displayed in the Embedded Adobe Story Script view in the Speech Analysis section of the
Metadata panel. Compare the script displayed in this view to the results of the speech analysis displayed in the Analysis Text view below it.

The Embedded Adobe Story Script view is read only. You can't perform editing operations in it.

To attach an Adobe Story script to a clip or clips:

1. Match the scene number of the clips to the scene numbers in the Adobe Story script. Adobe Premiere Pro needs the information so that it

can match the clips to the correct scenes in the script. You can assign scene numbers to clips in the Project panel or the Metadata panel.

2. Select one or more clips in the Project panel, right-click and choose Attach Script File or select File > Adobe Story > Attach Script file.

An Adobe Story script cannot be attached to a Merged Clip. If, however, a Story script was attached to a component clip prior to the merge,

the merged clip may be analyzed using the previously attached Story script.

You can also import an Adobe Story script into OnLocation and then import the shots into Adobe Premiere Pro with the script metadata.
OnLocation produces a list of shot placeholders for each scene. Either record these shots using OnLocation during production, or link the
placeholder shots to their respective video files when you import the video files into OnLocation. In either case, OnLocation embeds the text for
each shot from the original script into the metadata of the shot, and the information is retained when the shot is imported intoAdobe Premiere Pro.

Do any of the following:

To select a single clip, use the Selection tool and click a clip in a Timeline panel.

To select only the audio or video portion of a clip, use the Selection tool and Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) that portion.

To select multiple clips by clicking, use the Selection tool and Shift-click each clip you want to select. (Shift-click a selected clip to
deselect it.)

To select a range of clips, click in an empty area of the sequence under the time ruler, and then drag a rectangle (marquee selection) that
includes any part of the clips you want to select.

To add or subtract a range of clips in the current selection, Shift-drag a marquee around clips. Shift-dragging a marquee that includes
deselected clips adds them to the current selection. Shift-dragging a marquee that includes selected clips deselects them.

To select all clips that exist on and after a certain time on one track, select the Track Select tool

and click the clip at the beginning of

the time span you want to select. Shift-click with the tool to select clips in all tracks.

To select clips in a track independently of its linked video or audio, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) using the Track Select
tool

.

In Premiere Pro CS7, use the Select Next Clip or Select Previous Clip commands to select clips on targeted tracks at the current location
of the playhead. These keyboard driven commands must be set in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box prior to using them.

In Premiere Pro CS7, use the Select In to Out command to select clips based on In and Out points on targeted tracks. This keyboard
driven command must be set in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box prior to using it.

Enable or disable a clip

You can disable a clip while you try out a different editing idea, or to shorten processing time when working on a complex project. Disabled clips
do not appear in the Program Monitor or in a preview or video file that you export. As long as you have not locked the track containing a disabled
clip, you can still make changes to it. If you want to disable all clips on the same track, exclude the entire track instead. See Targeting tracks.

Select one or more clips in a Timeline panel and choose Clip > Enable. A check mark next to the command indicates that the selected clips
is enabled. Disabled clips appear dimmed in a Timeline panel.

Since it is a common duty for editors to enable and disable clips, it is recommended that you create a custom keyboard shortcut for this task.
See Customize or load keyboard shortcuts.
