  • Can FCP and Kona 3 do this?

    Posted by Chris Coote on June 23, 2009 at 6:06 pm

    I have a digibeta tape that has been closed captioned. I have the original sequence in FCP. Now I need to change a clip in the sequence. Can I capture the CC tape, lay that in on a higher track and crop it so that only the captioning is coming through on that track – then re-master? I have done this many times in Avid – the only catch being that the captioning layer has to play out in real time, ie, can’t be rendered.

    I mean that the crop effect can’t be rendered.
    Yeah, I just tried it..seems to work fine.

    Yes, it works just fine.

    not sure what you mean it has to play in real time…. unless you mean it has to be playing for a TV to read the CC data and display it?

    Yes you can.
    After you capture your new clip, open the to-be-cropped clip in the Viewer, go to the Motion Tab and adjust the crop sliders.
    Drag it to a new sequence on track 2 and put the new shot underneath on track 1.
    Then drag this sequence from the Browser to the Viewer and go File>Edit to Tape to do an insert.
    I assume you know the way from here; but if not, tell us so.

    for legal CC, an MXO2 can capture and playback CC data correctly – to / from Line 21, or which ever line you spec. it gets saved as an _audio_ track in FCP which means you can edit the picture if you need to and then send it back. its a nice legal proper video signal
