Re: [Avid-L2] .scc files from REV.com don't open in Media Composer

 

A) Do NOT mix up subtitles with captions. Those are two different things.

B) You are 'Thinking' about getting yourself into a HUGE ADVENTURE about spending a WHOPPING 55 USD on a job with the most cheap company I've ever heard of? 
(And no, you won't be submitting English, you will be submitting Americanish)
C) So you want to have a dirt cheap translation / transcription translated to another language, thus putting mistake on mistake, and you want that as cheap as possible?

Oh, you did shoot at least 4K HDR on an ARRI in some difficult LOG format, did you not? (Otherwise it makes no sense to have it translated, people will refuse to watch it anyways since it thus sucks big time, as you were too cheap to shoot properly.)

I don't think you want my advice on your workflow, but you get the general idea anyways.

No worries, I'll make the .scc fly if it fails.

Good to hear about this. I'm thinking about using Rev.com to create the .scc file for a 55 minute interview show (in English) I just finished in MC.  My plan/hope is to also use that file as the basis for getting quotes for translations to other 3 other languages (from Comtranslations, which I've used before). 

I have the Annotation Edit app and might be able to use that to get a clean .scc export that will import into MC. ??

Any advice or thoughts on this subtitle workflow are most welcome. 

Thanks,
