CLOSED CAPTIONS EXPLAINED

Can someone help me out please.

I am an artist and I work in FCP 7. I have been asked by a friend to close caption a 2 mins video clip for deaf people. She wants to upload the clip to youtube but does not want the captions burnt into the video, but would like them to become optional to turn on by the viewer.

Can I do this in FCP, or do I need to work in another programme. I don’t have a budget, it’s just to do a favour for my friend.

Can you please share with me, how i might go about this: step by step?

Thank you Kindly

Walter thank you kindly for you’re reply. The link to the mettle pro tools is fantastic, it’s a great tutorial and I’m sure I’ll be able to find a way to adapt it to my project needs and incorporate it using cloth. Cheers again

Walter thank you once again for such thorough and helpful information.

3D in AE
I do have Video co pilot3d elements. My question is do you know if it is possible to animate the depth of the extrusion? I cannot find how to do this in Video Co Pilot 3D Elements.

I have been making the shape (peace symbol) in Illustrator, then I convert it to a shape layer in AE. And use the Ray trace to animate the extrusion.

PROJECT – 3D in AE
The motivation for this is for another project where i want to animate lips in a way that they appear and push out from behind a cloth. So it’s quite a ghostly effect! Do you have any ideas how I might achieve this in AE.

SSD
I didn’t mean to replace my hard drive with an SSD I understood I could add another SSD to my existing Hardrive (500GB) In the optical bay. Is that a good idea in your opinion? Or use an external SSD?

THANKS SINCERELY

Walter,
Many thanks for your reply and valuable information. It’s great!!

To answer your question my GPU is AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB graphics.
Unfortunately I’m not in a position to buy a new computer!! So I have to work with what I have and kit it out a bit.

MacBook Model :
– MBP. 15-inch, late 2011.
– Model Name: MacBook Pro
– Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
– Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
– Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3

I will buy the 16GB. If I get the 16RAM do you recommend that turn on Multiprocessing in Preferences?
Do you know why I cannot assign or change the CPU value of “Actual CPU’s that will be used” in my preference settings at the moment?

Do you think I can benefit from purchasing the SSD?
If yes, could you be able to recommend something from this link? 265GB or 512GB?

3D
Thanks for the link to ray tracing and info about its (non)Future!!!
I’m an artist and I have worked in AE and FCP but I just started to explore 3D. I like that I can extrude and work in 3D space with AE, without learning a whole new complicated 3D programme!!

Sincerest thanks. I’d really appreciate it if you could consider some of the questions.
Warmest regards from Dublin

Vishesh
My thanks for your response and advice.
Can I ask do I downgrade the resolution and quality of the image I made in Photo Shop by changing the PAR in After Effects? Do you think there is any benefit in starting from scratch again and making my image in Photoshop with the 1080 x 1920 HD 1(Square Pixels) preset format! I am concerned that somewhere I am effecting the image quality if I change the PAR or am I mistaken?
Thank you
