Speakers and characters

When Sequence transcribes a clip, it also detects the characters in it — the speakers it hears and the faces it sees. The Characters tab, alongside the transcript, lists everyone Sequence found so you can review them at a glance. Character detection runs as part of transcription, so a clip has to be transcribed before its characters appear.

Open the Characters tab#

1. In the project, select a clip that contains audio.
2. In the inspector, open the transcription panel.
3. Click the Characters tab.

Each row represents one detected character and shows:

• Name — the character's name, or Unnamed character if none has been assigned yet.
• Detections — how many times Sequence detected this character, shown as a badge on the row.
• Speaking time — the total time this character speaks in the clip, shown as a badge on the row.

If Sequence hasn't found any speakers or faces, the tab shows No characters detected.
