Sony Vegas 10 Closed Captioning With Non-English Symbols Not Working
Just try to add a non-english captioning.
Alternative 1: Open an empty project and press “C”. Copy and paste this word “Привет”. Press enter.
Alternative 2: Run this script:using Sony.Vegas;
public class EntryPoint
{
public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
{
vegas.Project.CommandMarkers.Add(new CommandMarker(Timecode.FromMilliseconds(5000), MarkerCommandType.CEA608CC1, “Привет”, “{RCL}{ENM}Привет{EDM}{EOC}”));
}
}If you add an empty video track you will not see any text in the preview window. You also won’t be able to export nor import these subtitles.

Guga,
I don’t know enough about CC, but I did try a few things. I found the same methods work if the text is “abcdef” so my bet would be that the captioning needs to know that you are using double-byte characters. Look around for a setting or command that changes the font to a unicode one such as Arial Unicode MS or Lucida Sans Unicode.

I’m not the expert, but I think CC do not support cyrillic symbols (as well as any other characters other than Western European). Read more here

That is correct. The closed captioning only supports limited character sets.Korean and Chinese character sets can be activated with a command, but I am not sure how much more. The CC standards are US in nature. Europe etc uses a different system for standard definition.
While it does not address your specific question, I recommend reading the Captioning markup and reference section of the help file with Vegas.
Two episodes of tutorials on Closed Captions can be found on YouTube or my website. They may help with other issues you are going to run into.

I’m not gonna run into any issues because the whole Vegas’ CC feature is totally useless in my case. As we usually say “Rescue of the drowners is a matter of the drowners only”. Have to write extension to use ordinary markers for subtitles and utilizing .net to bring topmost window with running subtitles in it.

Have made couple of scripts for cyrillic subtitles. Now can import/export and preview them. But another bug (or may be i’m wrong?) Cannot assign custom icons to my scripts. Have made png icons but Vegas ignores them. Hm!
