Nigel,
I have cut a couple of doc style shows recorded in Japanese. I have some very basic knowledge of the language. but I am not bilingual by any stretch.
We worked out a transcript in three columns left to right: time code stamps (nearly every sentence or two), romaji (phonetic Japanese), and english translation. We outsourced the translating/transcribing to a vendor.
I built the first stringouts (from producer notes on the transcripts) using a combination of time code and the Romaji (phonetic) to locate ins and outs. We used subcap to subtitle as we went. It was laborious, but thereafter as we refined the radio cut the subcap subtitles followed the cut, and everyone who had to review the cuts (mostly English speakers) could follow the subtitles.
And we had bilingual people - non editors - on our production team who checked our subtitles (and the underlying cut in Japanese) for accuracy.
So for some extra work at the stringout stage, the subtitles for the finished shows were done when the cut was done.
The three column translation/transcribing was expensive, though. But worth it. If we didn't do that step, it would have taken a truly bilingual editor, and we still would have had to subtitle review cuts and the finished shows anyway.
HTH,
- Rich

We are working on a documentary where it's mostly in a foreign language so the thought is we could closed caption the rushes and then use those to edit with so the editor can see the CC on the source side… Subclips with CC in them? Or maybe sub sequences…
We have never worked with closed captions so this is all new..
How do others do this workflow, and would the above work..
Thanks
NIge
