Can Resolve 11 export optional subtitles with easy DCP plugin
Posted by Adam Halasz on April 11, 2014 at 7:50 pmHey,
in Resolve 11 subtitles will be supported.
Does anyone know if it will also support optional subtitles? I can’t find any info regarding this.
Thanks,
Adam

April 11, 2014 at 8:27 pmThe lack of subtitles are a limitation of the easyDCP plugin for Resolve, not Resolve itself. Not sure that will be changing anytime soon..

April 11, 2014 at 8:38 pmHi,
no, I mean multiple subtitles. I saw that Resolve 11 will support subtitles. but if there’s more than 1 subtitle file for 1 film (2 or more languages), what then?
So you guys apparently haven’t heard anything regarding this…
Anyone asked this on NAB?
Thanks,
A

DCPs don’t have “subtitle menus”… you need to author a different package for each variation. In the case of relatively complex packages, I’d recommend hiring a proper DCP author.

April 12, 2014 at 8:01 amSo you did ask or hear about it ?
I was talking to Peter about that shorty some time ago.
Was wondering if that was changed / developed.
What i generally was thinking that some Spotting apps export XML etc metadata like
files in some sort of format. For some reason there is a ton of them.
So the files have all the parameters, size, placement etc.I was wondering if Resolve could read them and populate subs on the most upper video track.
As those are titles so it is mostly just metadata and no actual video files it should
be simple to populate them on timeline. Same thing is don in NLE’s.And yes the question is if it could be used as burn in titles only or even pass it on to DCP in some form.
I ran in to this as local films are not english and every one that is made has to be titled
in some language or many. Premiere does not seem really good option for that at the moment.—

We recommend this to clients as well. Not as flexible… but a lot more foolproof. The full version of easyDCP makes this easy — load the subtitle XML file, and you can either use it as a ‘soft’ subtitle track or have easyDCP burn it in while encoding the image.

Sounds like you should be generating a DCDI (possibly out of Resolve if you insist) and then authoring the DCP in a full-featured application — next item on the agenda will then probably be KDMs and I for one don’t want to be tying up my grade suite outputting DCPs.

April 14, 2014 at 6:06 pmHi guys,
thanks for the inputs. I can of course buy another DCP mastering tool, there wouldn’t be a question if I would do that.
I think in the near future I think that will be the easiest solution to export your film directly from the grading software, that’s why I’m interested.
With commercials and short films it is excellent so far, can’t wait for the rest of the options to supplement these garding softwares to DCP mastering tools.
It’s just MXF and XMLs after all…
Cheers
Adam
