My go to way of doing this for long form projects is to submit the text file and sound and pay to
have it captioned….way quicker and not very expensive. I also pay the extra for the result review for 100% accurate results.
This is the company i use: https://www.automaticsync.comFor commercials, I caption by hand using the method you described.

[Chris Wright] “you have to manually change the audio mixer yourself”
Not quite sure I follow…can you elaborate?
I know I have to manually set things like panning and channel assignments,
but the channel assignments are locked to 1 & 2 only on a mono audio mixer setup.
(the option is gone to assign more channels beyond 1 & 2)How are you getting around that in the case of a quicktime with embedded surround
within a set of mono channels sequence? -
Thanks Chris, that is exactly what I do/did to get it to go out for blu-ray and dcp
(mono channels) but for the quicktime export I have to raise the audio mixer +3db
to get it to export at the right level and keep the channel routing intact.
Fortunately there is headroom for that and when re-imported the levels and channel
routing are correct.I did hear someone mention something about the “Panning Law” thing before.
Oddly FCP 7 never seemed to have this problem as you could set
each channel to 0 (default was -3db on each i think)How are you able to export a quicktime though with embedded
surround using mono channels? You can pan sure, but the channel assignment
is missing in that setup. My workaround I used was raising the audio mixer
channels +3db as mentioned in the first paragraph above. -
as someone who has done MANY DCP’s I can say none of my clients want their
content zoomed. slight pillarbox on the sides is the way to go. -
I ran into that recently and had to downgrade the driver as you mentioned
to get CUDA as an option. -

as clunky as it is, I still rely on it often. -
This is important…how much ram does your NVidia card have?
What really made 4k editing much smoother for me was
having a gpu with 4gb of ram. I went from a GTX 670 2gb
card to a Quadro 5000 with 4gb of ram and now editing
4k is just as smooth as editing 1080.Make sure you are using the latest Nvidia card driver
and CUDA version. -
One thing that can greatly increase the size is using warp stabilizer.
Must be storing some of that data in the project file.It used to grow project files to immense and almost unstable sizes.
I know Adobe addressed that issue so it took up less room, but
if you are stabilizing a lot of shots, that could be contributing to
the size. -
I noticed a big difference in system response editing 4k red sequences when
we upgraded from 16gb to 32gb. So ya up that to 32 at least but 48 if you can. -
since you have Radeon as your GPU I believe OpenCL is your best choice.
Interesting that Metal is an option.
Maybe render something with GPU F/x and try both out.
