Hi,
For this project, I need to create “burn-in” subtitles for each DCP. I currently have the titles ready in subcap effect, placed on the track, and ready to export. But I can’t find a way to do it with an alpha channel setting. I guess I’ll have to find another application to create the 444 transparency with. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

FH

Hi,
Where can this “Source name” option be accessed for each clip?
Thanks,

Thanks, I will definitely incorporate these tips into future projects. What do you mean by “re-purposed” in an EDL?

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I finally got the Time-code display to show the original filenames. I did as you suggested and cut / paste a couple of the original camera filenames from the Masterclip comments box into the Subclip comments box, while in SCRIPT mode.

Then in the Effects Editor, I chose Source Bin Column, and in the drop down menu, Custom Property. In the text box, I wrote “Comments.”

This did the trick. The original file name showed up in the burn-in display of the clip I had added the comment to.. Avid then apparently linked all the Masterclip “comments” boxes to the Subclip “comments” boxes automatically, so all the original file names appeared on the display from beginning to end of the timeline. I did not need to copy/paste anything else. Problem solved.

Thanks again for the Script mode tip,

FH

Hi,

Yes, in SCRIPT mode the original file names are already showing in the Comments box for the Master Clips, not for the Subclips (which are what is in the timeline). But I still can’t access this file name through the Timecode Effect Editor.

I tried pasting the file name into the subclip comment box (in SCRIPT mode), but this info still doesn’t show up in the Timecode Effect Editor.

Thanks

FH
