Thanks Giovanni.

I found success converting the SBV caption file to SRT, layering it into a MOV with ‘Subler’, playing and turning on the subtitle track in Quicktime 7 and then exporting it directly out of Quicktime 7 (with Perian turned uninstalled)

Oddly Quicktime X and Perian were giving me a lot of problems.

Cheers,
Adam

If anyone’s interested, here’s the work flow I’m using:

1. Import all 80 clips into AE
2. Split each music video manually (Edit > Split Layer, or Apple-Shift-D on Mac)
3. Render layer script (https://www.redefinery.com/ae/view.php?item=rd_RenderLayers)

It’s the easiest way I’ve found so far, this could be just because I’m more of a compositor than editor. There’s a fair bit of manually labour involved, but at least I don’t have to batch export out of an NLE which would add a lot more work.

It also makes it very easy to demux all of these videos, as a nice bonus for the client would be to have audio-only versions.

Thanks again,

Adam

Haha, ok.

Thanks for the help anyways.

Actually, it is fairly randomly placed. The songs range from 2-5 minutes long, so there’s no easy way to just slice them up.

I’m working with 80 two-hour videos too, totaling around 2200 songs. NLE is my last resort.

You’re probably right that AE is the wrong program, I just figured that there may be a script or something available.

Perhaps this question would be best suited for another section unless anyone else has suggestions.
