VLC is your friend.
You can make simple playlists and save them.

Dude,
I am NOT the man who made the online tool you mentioned!

I can however make anything possible…

Not sure about the latest versions, but my Avid does not like Mp4 at all.
The codec is not the issue, so the same content wrapped in a QuickTime container works.
You could try this:

(I made it…)

Hi Ty,
So, what’s the problem?
The work is done and is available for free. (I did not test it, as I’m not behind an Avid now, but I trust it will work.)

It’s not lazy, it’s smart as it is faster at doing dumb jobs.
I would think the question was to name the clips sequentially, but if it’s a burn-in they want, this will work.

Now, you can do something yourself with any decent spreadsheet or text editor.

And yes, I’ve done tons of stuff like this myself. So many, that I made a business out of it.
(So you can hire me to do something custom for you, won’t break the bank as it’s just an hour work.)

But then, it can be made even smarter. You still have to export all the clips, meaning a lot of subclip making.
(That can be done with a series of automated fireing keystrokes in a macro, but I could automate that as well.)
Or is a mixdown of the entire show good enough for rock ‘n roll?

You probably do NOT want to do this in Premiere if it’s more than a handful.
(Any NLE is dog slow in this, and you need to do a lot of timing / move text from one title to another, stuff like this.)

So I recommend a dedicated subtitle tool.
I happen to have written one (so I’m a bit biased:-), you can get a free demo here:
https://www.videotoolshed.com/product/subbits-subtitler/

Then, for fine tuning you can use Premiere.
Have a look here:

Untested in your version, but you might want to give it a try. I’m pretty sure it works.
(If the XML does not work, you can use and EDL and link PNG files to that, that MUST work.)

Hth,

Hi John,
How about one computer with a decklink quad, and some software?
This thing could do it:
https://www.videotoolshed.com/product/recorder/
It’s an FFmpeg front end. I can adjust it to add the DSK, and configure it for your streaming.
(Not sure if you stream to YouTube or elsewhere.)

This way you’re done for a fraction of the money, with way less hardware.

well, IMHO, the ‘best’ is my Subbits subtitler. (But i’m biased, as I’m the developer.)
It can do subtitles from scratch, but there is also a nice Premiere helper app. that gives you editable titles in the timeline / bin.
Have a look here:

To download a demo to see for yourself, go here:

Note, you have to make your own settings in the Render Engine to get a box.
(It’s not something I personally like, so there are no presets, but it is possible. The box opacity is set to fully transparant by default, you have to up that.)

You may mail me direct if you have specific questions, but over here is also fine if others might benefit.

Seems like a field dominance issue, or you are missing one field at the beginning.
(No idea how this can happen though.)
Afaik, all HD formats are upper field first, so no issue there…

Can you be more specific on what you do?

Kevin,
it’s not 25%, it’s 400%

the bits come before the previous values, each bit extra doubles the amount of storage.
8 bits is 256 max in decimal
10 bits is 1024 in decimal…
(that’s 4 times as much…)

Having said that, we both agree on lightning 🙂

Normally you don’t get much choice when someone gives you the footage, you just have to deal with what you’ve got.

When you’re the shooter yourself, you normally use the gear you have.
When it comes to chroma keying, be afraid of shallow depth of field, as some parts of your subject will be unsharp, creating a dificult key.

And, if you’re the shooter, paying a lot of attention to the lights will pay of way more than shooting 10 bits.
Also, do NOT shoot Log or alike, as you will crunch the chroma.

Then there is the software to do the key. Some is good, some is bad, some is brilliant.

But again, decent light is the most important, spend your money there if you can.
