Builder NLE Help
Builder NLE is primarily a way of working with transcripts to develop stories. You can order transcripts in Builder or bring your own. See the Transcript Formatting Accordion below.
Builder NLE is a document based app, which means that you can work on many projects simultaneously, each in their own document. Each document is self contained (other than media) and be passed between users. Builder documents have a .ljb suffix. Each document can have multiple stories.
Below you'll find the help divided into these sections.
- Preparing in your Video NLE
- Import XML, Link or Order Transcripts and Manage Clips
- Editing Text, Set Rating, Keywords and Paper Color, Trimming Clips and Manage Keywords
- Transcript Formatting

Preparing for Builder
Your NLE of choice - Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X - is where preparation for Builder NLE starts.
Import Media and create Multicam or Synchronized Clips before exporting XML to Builder.
In Final Cut Pro X, import the media associated with this Event.
(Optional) Create multicam clips in Final Cut Pro X, or Synchronized Clips. For most purposes, Final Cut Pro X's multicam clips are more versatile than synchronized clips, even if there is only one angle of audio and one of video. Set appropriate video and audio angles as the active angles in the multicam.
IMPORTANT: Media must be fully imported before exporting XML. You can view the import progress in the Background Tasks window.
Select the Event or Events you want to work with in Builder. Builder honors the Library structure and shows the Clips organized by Event. Only selected items will be included in the exported XML.
Trim Clips
Some Clips, particularly interviews, may have roll in time at the start, or run on time at the end, which we don't want transcribed.
In Final Cut Pro X, Reject the start of the Clip to exclude that range from being displayed or transcribed in Builder. Similarly, the exclude roll on at the end of the Clip, apply a Reject range from the end of the useful material, to the end of the Clip.
Reject ranges in the middle of the Clip will still be transcribed and displayed, but the transcription will be Rejected for that range.
Export or Drag XML
IMPORTANT: Builder only works with Clips: AV Clips, Synchronized Clips or Multicam Clips. Builder does not support Compound Clips or Projects.
Set appropriate angles for audio and video. The active video angle video will be displayed in Builder NLE. The active angle audio will be used for transcription and playback.
Either export XML to a convenient location, or start to drag the Event(s) from Final Cut Pro X, then Command + Tab to Builder app and drop the XML on the Clips List. (A progress bar in Final Cut Pro X shows the XML being generated.)
Import the media associated with this Event to your Project.
(Optional) Create multicam clips if you used Double System Sound or if you had multiple cameras.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Premiere Pro will not import a multicam clip if there is more than one clip on an angle. The reasons are unimportant, but it is a current limitation. Premiere Pro will export a multicam clip to XML, but it will not re-import that same XML if it has more than one clip on an angle. Be sure to only have one clip per angle in your multicam clips.
Set appropriate angles for audio and video. The active video angle video will be displayed in Builder NLE. The active angle audio will be used for transcription and playback.
IMPORTANT: Media must be fully imported before exporting XML.
Trim Clips
Some Clips, particularly interviews, may have roll in time at the start, or run on time at the end, which we don't want transcribed.
In Premiere Pro set an In and Out on the Clip or Multicam Clip. Builder will honor that range and only display or transcribe from In to Out.
Export XML
IMPORTANT: Builder only works with Clips: AV Clips, Synchronized Clips or Multicam Clips. Builder does not support Sequences.
Select the Bin(s) you want to send to Builder, and export XML to a convenient location, ready to import to Builder.(Such as the Desktop).
Import XML, Link or Order Transcripts, and Manage Clips
In Builder NLE you will first import XML from your NLE, link or order transcripts, update Builder documents, remove and replace Clips and Transcripts and export Transcripts.
Import the XML from your NLE. Final Cut Pro X users can also drag one or more Events from Final Cut Pro X directly to the Clip list in the Builder interface.
Projects evolve and it is not unusual to have additional material to add to a work in progress.
Builder NLE fully supports updating a Builder document in two ways:
- Import XML with additional Clips
- Update one Builder document from another (newer) Builder Document.te with Additional Clips
To update a Builder document with additional Clips, export an updated XML with both the original, and additional, Clips.
Builder will add only the additional Clips, without duplicating any already in the document.
Update from one Builder Document to another Builder Document
It is also possible to update a Builder Document from another Builder document. For example, a producer or story writer may have started work keywording and organizing the Builder document. When new materials come in they don't want to start over.
Instead, create a new Builder document (or update a copy) and import the new media (or update the Builder document).
Click on the Copy Clips button and choose the Builder document to be updated.
Clips, with their logging and transcripts will be added, with no duplication, to the receiving document.
To link transcripts to your clips, select the pull-down menu item next to the clip name and select "Link to Transcript" (to add a transcript). Match the first Clip to the matching transcript name. (Clip name not media file name.) Clip name can be an AV clip, audio only, Synchronized Clip or Multicam Clip. Builder will find any other transcripts that match clip names, and link to them. If the names do not match, you can still add transcripts one-by-one to each Clip in turn.
Important: Make sure your transcript formatting is correct for Builder. There should be no header or title in the transcript itself. Read more about transcript formats in the next section.
If you accidentally link the wrong transcript to a Clip, or need to update a transcript already linked to a Clip, Remove the Clip, Re-import the XML containing the Clip, and link to the correct or updated transcript.
Note: Time stamps in transcripts are used to align the transcript to the clips. We break the transcript into text blocks during import. These text blocks better match the way people add sound bites to a Story.
Builder originally did create text ranges from transcript documents with text range breaks, and it was demoed that way in the early days. But those early demos spent a lot of time breaking down text ranges, and it became obvious that there should be a better way.
There are three reasons why it was changed to breaking on sentences:
- shorter sound bites are more useful to work with
- it is faster in Builder to join together two (or more) sentences than to split a text range into sentences
- there are no text range breaks in transcripts from SRT data.
To order an automated transcript for any clip, click on the pull down menu beside the clip name and select “Add to Transcription Batch.” Once added to a batch, the indicator color changes to yellow until the transcription is ready. You can remove a Clip from a Batch by using the same menu item, which will have changed to "Remove from Transcription Batch."
Transcriptions ordered from within Builder will be charged to the credit card on file at 35c per minute. You will only be charged for the minutes in each transcription batch. The credit card charge will show Lumberjack Transcript and the Builder Project name so you can more easily apportion costs to each project.
Transcripts are not included in the trial, but if you want to order transcripts you can add a credit card by following the link from Builder's Preferences.
If you accidentally add a clip to a transcription batch by mistake, you can remove it from the batch from the same menu.
You can add multiple clips that will be processed in one batch.
When you’ve added all the clips for this batch, click on the Batch button to open the batch manager.
You’ll see the clip names and status in the main interface.
At the bottom of the window you’ll see the total duration for the batch, and how much you’ll be charged. We charge only the amount required for each batch to the card on file at Stripe. You can change that card by following the link from Builder’s Preferences.
Choose the language from the pop-up menu. The different English options affect the spelling g in the transcript.
When you’re ready, click Submit to start the process.
IMPORTANT: Do not close the Builder document or quit the app while files are uploading. Doing so will stop the batch uploading and can lead to duplicate transcription charges.
If you have mixed languages to process, create a batch for each language.
Every item in the batch is handled in parallel, so it takes very little time to get the transcripts back. Any batch will only take as long as the longest clip’s processing time.
When the transcript is complete the indicator will turn green and the transcript will be available, aligned to your clips.
The entire process is usually way faster than real time.
You can export Transcripts ordered (and corrected) in Builder to a Text file with time stamps. If the original media has Timecode, the exported time stamps will match the media Timecode.
When you export a Story to the NLE, the Bin or Event information is automatically updated with the Transcript and Keyword information from Builder NLE.
Note: For Final Cut Pro X, select "Replace" in the import options.
In Final Cut Pro X the transcript will appear in the Notes field of the Keyword Range.
In Premiere Pro the transcript will appear in the Notes field of the Marker Range.
In order to replace a clip (with an updated version from FCP X); to link to a different (updated) transcript, or to simply remove a Clip from the Builder Project, click on the orange/green button at the right of the Clip and select Remove Clip.
The Clip will be removed from the Builder Project. If this is the last Clip in a Final Cut Pro X Event or Premiere Pro Bin, inside Builder, the Event header will also be removed.
Replace Clip
After removing the clip you want to update, import an updated XML for that FCP X Event. Only Clips currently not in the Builder Project will be added.
Replace Transcript
After removing the clip you want to update, import the original (unchanged) XML for that FCP X Event. Only Clips currently not in the Builder Project will be added.
Then link an updated Transcript to the newly imported Clip
Important: There's only one problem with the new Delete Clip function in Builder. It will lose any keywords applied to that clip's text ranges. The keywords remain and will autocomplete in the Keyword entry box, and be visible in the Keyword Manager.
Retain Keywords when Deleting a Clip
If you want to retain those keyword ranges, first Export Clips to send the logged Ranges to the FCP X Event or Premiere Pro Bin they came from.
When you're ready to add the Clip back to Builder (perhaps with an updated transcript) then export new XML from FCP X (or drag and drop the Event). When you link the updated transcript the keyword ranges from FCP X (that originated in Builder) will be applied to the new Clip/Transcript combination.
Builder Logging Mode: Edit Text, Set Rating, Keywords and Paper Color, Trim Clips and Manage Keywords
The first screen that displays when Builder opens is the Logging window. Here you can play Clips and Transcripts in three different ways; edit text, add Keywords and Paper Color, and trim imported transcripts to better align with the media.
With a text range selected you can play by pressing: the play button, the space bar, J, K, or L keys (although L won't do much at the start of a clip). Multicam Clips will play the active angle selected in your NLE when the XML was exported.
A text block is a Keyword Range
You can split a clip into two text ranges/keyword ranges by inserting the cursor and pressing RETURN on the keyboard.
You can merge contiguous text ranges by selecting the two (or more) text ranges to be and clicking on Merge Selected
You can merge a selected text range with the following text range by pressing ]
You can merge the selected text range with the previous text range by pressing [
When you merge text ranges the new joined text range retains all People and Keywords from all the original text ranges.
IMPORTANT: If you have trimmed a text range and added it to a Story, or have trimmed a text range in a Story, and you merge that text range with an adjacent one in Transcript View, the instances of that text range in a Story, or all Stories, will also have the additional, merged, transcript and associated audio and video.
If you split a text range in one story, the split text ranges will be used in all other stories that use that text ranges. The story will be the same (unlike with merging text ranges) but will comprise two or more contiguous text ranges to keep the story intent the same.
In Transcript Mode Builder has three playback options:
- Play Whole Clip, when the Clip is selected in the Event Clip List. No transcript is required.
- Play Selected, plays one or more selected text ranges as one clip for playback. Text ranges do not have to be continuous if you select with a Command Click.
- Play Through, plays through the transcript from the selected paragraph until playback is stopped.
For Playback the Space Bar will start and stop playback, while JKL behave as expected. High speed scrub supports pitch corrected audio during playback.
There are no restrictions on editing text.
- Select the text to edit and type in the replacing text.
- Similarly you can add punctuation as you would normally.
- There are no special tools for punctuation or editing.
- Speakers/People are named in the People field (Command + p)
Each text block can have an unlimited number of content Keywords. Each text block is a Keyword range.
The People field is also a Keyword Range.
Select the People field with Command + p.
Select the Keywords field with Command + k.
When multiple text ranges are selected, adding a Person or Keyword adds these to the existing values. If you wish to remove unneeded Keywords, use the Keyword Manager to do it globally.
Each text range can have a "paper color" applied to identify the person speaking in that text range, selected from the Paper Color pop-up menu. Paper Color will be applied to the selected Text Range(s).
With transcripts that have only infrequent time stamps, there can be some inaccuracies at the text range boundaries. You can click the "Show Trimming" button to trim the head or tail of the clip, relative to the transcript.
It is never necessary to trim Transcripts that have been ordered through Builder NLE.
Trim to Head/Tail
When a text range is selected, and the Playhead is not at the start or end of the Clip, you can trim the Head, or Tail, of a text range to the current Playhead position, without activating Trimming.
With the Playhead in the position you want:
- Trim the Head to the current Playhead by clicking Trim Head, or press Option + [
- Trim the Tail to the current Playhead by clickign Trim Tail, or press Option + ]
Note: If you attempt to trim more than half the duration you will be warned and given a chance to cancel.
Builder includes a powerful, global (to the document) Keyword Manager. Keywords can be deleted without affecting other applied keyword ranges. Keywords can be merged by dropping the correct keyword on the incorrect one.
The Keyword Manager can open Keywords from Lumberjack System's web application and use those to update keywords in this document.
Transcript Formats
As well as Transcripts ordered inside the app, Builder NLE can use transcripts from other sources and add them to Clips, Synchronized Clip and Multicam Clips.
Builder is flexible enough to use most document formats. It is fully Unicode based so supports all languages for transcripts.
The more frequent the time stamps, the more accurate the synchronization with clips will be.
We recommend Transcripts be ordered within Builder using "Add to Batch" but we support other formats as noted below. Any inaccuracy in external transcripts can be corrected by Trimming Clips.
Document Formats
The transcript documents can be either .txt, .rtf, .rtfd, .doc, .docx, or a mixture of these. There are many providers of transcripts, but many do not provide sufficient time stamps for Lumberjacks' needs.
Time Stamps
Most “industry standard” timecode-stamped transcriptions can be used, including files with timecode or time stamps at the start of every text range, or where the time stamps are mid-text range. The more time stamps in the transcript, the more accurate the lock between media and transcript will be.
The media can have either SMPTE timecode or count up from zero. Builder can recognize timecode or time stamps in various formats separated by “:” or “;” or “.” and optionally surrounded by square brackets []. For example: 01:23:45 or 01:23:45:21 or 1:23:45 or 1.23.45 or 1:23:45.420
Speaker
Builder also looks for named speakers in uppercase text in the transcript. These can be separated on their own line or at the head of the transcript as either SPEAKER NAME:<space>transcript text... or SPEAKER NAME:<tab>transcript text... or SPEAKER NAME<tab>:<tab>transcript text...
Download this example as a Microsoft Word document.
0:00:00
Speaker 1: Transcripts start with a time stamp representing the start of the clip. Then there are typically time stamps at the start of every paragraph. Anything between the time stamps becomes a Keyword Range in Final Cut Pro X named after the speaker, and with the transcript in the keyword's Notes field.
00:00:17
SPEAKER 2:
When a new person starts speaking they are often identified by all caps on their own line before the text of their transcript .
00:00:35
Speaker 1: But interview subjects can also be in-line followed by a colon and then a tab or space before their transcript. Either way is fine.
[00:00:44]
SPEAKER 2: There's also a lot of flexibility in how the time stamps are formatted. They can have square brackets around them, or not. The numbers can be separated by : or ; or . They can have one or two digit hours. They can be hours-minutes-seconds or hours-minutes-seconds-frames or hour-minutes-seconds-milliseconds. They can represent your clip's timecode or count up from zero.
0.01.29 The time stamps can also be in the same line as the transcript, or even in the middle of a transcript. The more time stamps there are in the transcript the more accurate the keyword ranges will be. At least one every minute.
[00:01:36;08]
SPEAKER 1:
Make sure that time stamps in the document progress. Lumberyard does a “dry-run” to check for out-of-order time stamps and will warn you if it finds problems.
00.01.52 The transcript document should have the same name as the clip it was generated from, so you'll have one transcript document for each clip in your Final Cut Pro X event. The document can be saved as .txt, .rtf, .rtfd, .doc, or .docx. Organize the transcripts for the event into a folder that you select in Lumberyard.
00:02:22.345
Speaker 2: Lumberyard looks inside your folder and matches the transcript name to the clip name in the event. That way the processing of transcripts can be done as a batch instead of one at a time.
[0:02:40]
It's not necessary to have a time stamp at the end of the transcript. If there's no final time stamp, Lumberyard will use the end of the media file as the last time stamp.

SimonSays.ai
SimonSays.ai have a dedicated format for Builder. In Export Options, select Lumberjack Ready.
SpeedScriber
From SpeedScriber export "Plain Text with Time stamps > Start of Sentence."
Rev.com
From Rev export Captions > SRT.
Speechmatics
Speechmatics is supported from within Builder. Select Add to Batch.
Trint
From Trint, export "Entire Transcript > Word Document." You will need to remove the title at the top of the transcript before importing to Builder. Trint only provides one time stamp per paragraph in this export, so we recommend creating shorter paragraphs in Trint before exporting.
Verb8tm
The Word output format would work for Builder. You would need to manually remove the heading/title information from the top of the document before importing it into Builder.
Generic
In the absence of a specific recommendation SRT (Captions) should work for Builder.
Filtering Selects, Building Stories and Export Options
Builder has some very powerful Filtering tools for honing in on the selects you want.
In Story Mode you can filter selects using the Filter box at the top of the Selects column. Builder supports both "OR" and "AND" searching. You can use either type of search and limit it to Favorites only. Selects filter on the words in the transcript and Keywords added to a text range.
Limit Filter to one type of metadata
You can change the search type for the Filter in Transcript and Selects view. The options are to filter either All fields; or just People, Keywords or Transcript.
When a search field is active there’s a little arrow to the right of the magnifying glass, which is the Mac’s subtle way of telling you there’s a menu there.
You can change the search type before doing a search or change to a different filter type re-filters with the same terms.
Advanced Filtering
Builder now has an advanced filtering mode that is useful to hone in on a specific response or story beat.
When the People+Keywords+Transcripts option is selected you can create complex queries. For example, if I wanted to find instances where Jada said the words "Climate Change" then the Filter would be Jada++Climate Change (with And mode search). You don't have to enter a filter term for all three (as the example shows), but you do have to use the +!
Stories are built by adding text ranges from the Selects LIST (left) to the Storyline on the right. You can press the 'e' key to append the text range, or drag the text range to the location in the Storyline where it fits the story. You can select multiple text ranges and add them to the story together.
- Text ranges can be trimmed in the Storyline by inserting the cursor at the edit point and pressing the Return key to make the edit.
- Return unused text ranges to the Selects list with the Delete key, or by dragging them back to the Select list.
- Clips can be reordered in the Storyline by dragging the Clip(s).
- You can add a Spacer in the story to add three seconds of black silence to better indicate pacing.
If a text range is selected in Selects or Story view, the same text range will be selected in the Transcript view.
Simply return to Transcript view and the same text range will be highlighted in context.
When searching in Clip Logging Transcripts or within the Select List, if you select a text range within a search result, then clear the result, the text range(s) will remain highlighted in context in the Selects list.
To add temporary narration or voice over in the Storyline, select the clip before the narration should start.
Click the "Add temp V.O." button and type in the text of the narration.
Builder will use the System Voice and Language to create an audio file that will be used in FCP X.
Temp narration can be exported to a text document. It will appear was an audio only clip in the NLE.
Temp narration can be updated to new voice or language by changing the System Preferences and then Click the "Remake Voice Overs" button.
Builder can export:
- The Story to FCP X as a Project (directly or via zipped XML) OR to Premiere Pro as a Sequence (directly or via zipped XML)
- The script of the Story as a text document
- The script of the temp narration pieces for approval and recording
- An MP4 Preview of the Story.
- If you export to a watch folder for Frame.io or into DropBox the preview MP4 can be shared for review.
Proxy or Editing Media
If Builder is on the same system or SAN, then it will use the media from the XML. If that media is unavailable, or the media is a format not supported by Builder, then you can used Preview media (or no media) for Builder.
When sent back to the NLE, the original media will be used.
If Builder NLE is on the same workstation or shared storage as the FCP X Library or Premiere Pro Project, it will automatically link to the media and play it, as long as it is a media format supported by AVFoundation. (See below for other media support.) If the Story Editor, Producer or other Builder users wants to work remotely, without access to the primary media pool, there are options.
The first option is to work without media. Once the XML has been imported and linked to the transcripts, the media is not necessary for metadata entry or story building. All features (other than media playback) function correctly and the edited story will link to the original media back in FCP X.
The second option is to work with proxy media. This can be the proxy media generated in Final Cut Pro X/Premiere Pro or it can be a custom proxy format (that the editor or assistant editor would create in Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder.
Builder NLE has a "Connect to Preview Media" option to link temporary media played by Builder during the story building process.
Under the Builder menu is an item called "Connect to Preview Media".
If you’ve got proxies in any supported format, in an external folder or in a Library bundle, you select that folder or Library bundle and it runs through the subfolders looking for .mov, .mp4 or m4a files that are different to the current filepath for the text range. Then based on looking for matching file names it will connect the text range’s audio and video to the new media instead of the original.
Since it’s looking for whatever.mov then it can be used for either Optimized media, or Proxy media, or anything you’ve generated out. The only criteria is it has to have a matching file name, and end in .mov, mp4, or m4a, which makes it pretty useful beyond just Proxies! Builder will happily work with audio only Preview Media.
IMPORTANT: For Multicam Clips create Proxies of the Clips that make up the Multicam. There is no media for a Multicam Clip, so Builder will look for Proxies with the same name as the individual Clips that make up the Multicam Clip.
The database hangs on to the location of the original assets though, so that if you get the document back and export to your NLE it will point to the clips that you imported from the original XML file. (If these have moved you can always relink in your NLE.)
The Builder media player does not support camera formats that require an NLE plug-in for Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro, like R3D or certain Canon files. You can still work in Builder by creating and using either Optimized or Proxy media, or working without the media. The proxy media can be used for generating transcriptions from within Builder.
Builder supports many more codecs and formats if Apple's Pro Video Codecs. Premiere Pro users may need to download the trial of Final Cut Pro X from the Mac App Store, to authorized the codec install.
You will also need to create an M4A audio if your original media is MP3. MP3 is not supported in Builder.
The "Connect to Preview Media" function under the Builder menu, allows you to use different media in the Builder video player, such as FCP X proxy, optimized or your own settings, instead of to the originals that were imported from the XML.
The requirements and workflows are the same as for working remotely.

Auto-complete: People and Keywords fields have an auto-complete popup menu that suggests a completion for the word you are typing. The words in the auto-complete menu come from previously used People or Keywords, and People or Keywords from the selected Lumberjack Event.
Favorite: You can set text ranges to be rated as Favorite. The Selects list can then be filtered to show only Favorites.
Keywords: Describes or summarizes the content of the text range. Keywords can be used to group and classify text ranges with common themes. Keywords become Final Cut Pro X keywords on the range of the text range.
Text ranges: A transcript is broken into text range, which can be merged or split. A text range represents a keyword range in Final Cut Pro X. In Final Cut Pro X, text transcript of the text range is added to the People keyword’s notes field and added to a caption for the range.
People: The person or people speaking. Speaker names are extracted from transcripts, or the clip name is used if there are no named speakers. This becomes the name of the keyword range in Final Cut Pro X with the text transcript of the paragraph added to the keyword’s Notes field. It is also used to create lower thirds for Final Cut Pro X.
Reject: You can set text range to be rated as Reject. The Transcript list can then be filtered to Hide Rejected. Rejected paragraphs will not show in the Selects list.
Relevance: Keywords from Live Logging or your NLE entered in the Keywords field in the Keyword Manager, are given a relevance of 100%. This is provided in planning for a future option of automatic keywords that will need a confidence or relevance ranking.
Selects: The list of text range from all clips that can be used to build a Story. Only text range rated as Favorite or Unrated will show in the Selects list.
Story: A sequence of text ranges assembled in the storyline. You can have multiple Stories in the same Builder document.
Unrated: You can set text range to be Unrated. All text range are Unrated when the transcript is first linked to a clip.
