Exporting QT Master for cinema + subtitles (!)
Hi!
I’ve searched some threads and have found some good answers but I just want to be 100% certain at what I’m about to do. So I have a 40′ min. film that is going to be screened in the cinema at a few festivals. For this, I’ll make a hardcoded sub. copy of the film in QT with the highest possible quality. The material is 2K, synced with the final soundmix and color corrected.
Is it then only to go to File-Export -> QT movie and NOT change any settings? (So that the settings will be the same as the timeline? – i.e 1920×1080 or something like that? (Full HD)).
My second question is more complicated – a production company wants to make a DVD with my film together with some other shorts. The problem is, my film is neither in Norwegian or English (which are the subs. they want for it). I have the subs on the timeline with the video (which I will hardcode with the video for the festival) – how do I get the subs out from FCP into a separate file? The files they want are either .PAC files or .890 files. I’ll have to export the subs. into these file types and then export the video separately (so as not to hardcode them), however, I have never heard about these file formats and I’m a little bit at a loss as what to do..
All help appreciated,

yes.
re the subtitles,
check out Spherico Filmtools’ title exchange.
it reads FCP text files from an XML file,
and can translate them into many different formats<https://www.spherico.com/filmtools/TitleExchange/index.html>

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the reply; is there any tutorial for this program? I don’t know how XML works. Do I just export the XML from FCP, then open the app and export again to .PAC? How can I cross-check if the file works with the video? (I have no program that supports .PAC I think).
Best,

hi, Sui.
did you go to the site?
there are instructions there.
you can work with a demo (that will only handle 50 titles) to see if it’s good for you.i cant answer your other question
you should contact Andreas directly,
(although he often chimes in here)nick
