  Hi, I have received an .ass file —
  Mandarin subtitles for a film. What do I need to do in order to be able to import this file into Avid Media Composer? Thanks in advance.

  Short answer:
  You can’t.
  Longer answer:
  Avid only supports subtitles trough the SubCap plugin.
  For that you need a Subcap .txt file in UTF-16 (To support Chinese)
  But then, if your subs have position / color / font information, that will be lost.

  Since I’m a sub freak, mail me your .ass file and I’ll see what I can do.
