Hi @motioncircus , Yes, I think I know what's happening.
The file path reference to the proxies in the transcription data, has got a reference to the home folder in it's path, so when you change computer unless that's changed as well, it wouldn't be able to find it, if that makes sense?
ok, let's break this down.
As you know there's a folder in the user systems. on a Mac it's
+/Users/${home_folder}/Library/Application\ Support/digital-paper-edit-electron
This contains, the proxies inside the /media
folder.
And there's a /db
folder that contains the transcription data.
annotations.json
labels.json
paperedits.json
projects.json
transcripts.json
Out of these once transcripts.json
Here's an example
[
{
"projectId": "366724cd3aab487b9e3b4ed3be2b3284",
"title": "Transcription Name",
"description": "",
+ "path": "/Users/${home_folder}/Movies/Transcription Name-g3Af2ntyQyU.mp4",
+ "url": "/Users/${home_folder}/Library/Application Support/digital-paper-edit-electron/media/Transcription Name-g3Af2ntyQyU.c797b714ce5d4283b7f778c3ce79e56a.mp4",

"transcript": {
"words": [
{
"id": 0,
"text": "Good",

],

{

],
},
"clipName": "Transcription Name-g3Af2ntyQyU.mp4",
"sttEngine": "AssemblyAI",

},
...
]
As you can see above I've highlighted in green the relevant part, and replace my home directory name with ${home_folder}
.
A possible solution is to
transcripts.json
and do a find and replace for you home folder name, with the one of the new computer.See if this work
Hi, I'm working with a team and have recently shifted to MAC platform where I'm finding Autoedit3 1.6.0 more stable. I am trying to copy the entire digital-paper-edit-electron folder from the machine where the clips were ingested, to another mac so that we can work separately without having to re transcribe. Unfortunately as mentioned in the subject line, the clips won't play back on the other machine.
Source mac was a recent Macbook Pro - destination is an iMac Do you have any suggestions?
