    Posted by Jim Reed on April 15, 2010 at 9:43 pm

    I’m making a short presentation to show others in the office how subtitles can be used in trial cases. I was going to display several videos at once using a plug-in from CrumplePop.

    My subtitles were made in Annotation Edit, sent to DVD SP and the video with subtitles came out just like they’re suppose to.

    My questions is, is there a way to bring in the DVD’s made from DVD SP with subtitles to FCP so I can make the multiple displays showing subtitles?

    you can now do subtitles right in FCP. They’re part of the markers.

    If I understand the question correctly you want to know if you can capture the DVD image with different subtitles to bring it into FCP.

    Ripping won’t help as it won’t display the subtitles. You could capture the image in via an I/O card with analog inputs directly from the DVD player, setting log & capture to uncontrolled device.

    Actually you can rip and display subtitles. If you run the rip through Gandbrakw and elect to have the subtitles showing. And you don’t have to burn the “DVDs” to disc first. Just open the TS_Video dirctory in Handbrake.

    Ok, obviously there a purpose behind “preview post.” especially when writing on an iPhone. That was supposed to be Handbrake.

    Michael your right. I guess I looked at this too long. I’ll do that in the morning.

    sorry.

    “you can now do subtitles right in FCP. They’re part of the markers.”

    could you expand on that.
    perhaps you are talking abut Spherico FIlm Tools Title Exchange Pro?

    Ok, but I’m at dinner with the crew on location in St Louis. 🙂
    just google it. It’s a way you can lay them out in the FCP timeline. It’s out there. I’ll have to look later.

    Hi there …
    could you tell me where I can find a tutorial or some words on how to do it with FCP itselve ? I’ve got tired of people talking about this or that software or plugins to subtitle a video / movie. I couldn’t understand why a editing video software like FCP was not able to do it ? and moreover : Why people demonized so much the text generator inside FCP ?

    Thanks in advance.
