  • The best method for Subtitling

    Posted by Lanzi on June 19, 2005 at 6:28 pm

    Hello folks.

    I need to subtitle a 30 min DV doc.I have both Premiere 1.5 (yes antique!) and FCP4.But it is a tedious job using the native text editors, especially as I have to put opaque black boxes behind the subtitle senteces.

    Is their a user friendly subtitle editor, preferably in sync with Premiere Pro or FCP4 that you can recommend?

    Thanks for the advice.

    There are specialist programs that subtitlte, if you don’t want to use those, try Martin Baker’s subtitle generator for FCP at https://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/indexflash.htm. There is a tutorial movie there.

    This will automatically put the black box on.

    Also alt drag to move a subtitle, then double click to change data.

    Depends on how many you have to do, but a start at $10

    Could you direct me to some advanced programmes for subtitling? Just for future reference. I want to have clean broadcastable subtitles. Thanks.

    enjoy Wimbledon.
