Re: [Avid-L2] captioning

 

It may not be the case elsewhere, but in the US, burned-in subtitles are commonly referred to as "open captions". Closed = invisible and able to be turned on/off, Open = always visible.

Don't confuse captioning with subtitling.

Captions is metadata, subtitles can be open or closed. (Meaning, burned in or as metadata.)
Subcap sorta kinda works (it has bugs, like crashing on mac, and different outline thickness, between titles, based on amount of chars in a title.)
The rest is third party.

HI

What is currently a good captioning process with the latest Avid software?  Have not done this in a while but its coming up on some docs.  In the past I sent out the show and got an STL file and reimported in SubCap effect on its own layer.  Is this still the workflow?
Of has it even become easier?

Thanks
Lou
