There is an option in compressor to add a .SCC file when encoding. The only problem is even in HD encoding it takes the 608 cations and just puts them in 708.

And luckily we don’t typically have to worry about capturing with captions. But from what I remember normally that line will capture.

I’ve decided the way captions are done needs to be rethought. Why can’t we just put them in readable metadata, so tired of archaic broadcast standards.

We discovered it was partially an OS issue, the decklink wouldn’t pass timecode on old drivers and we couldn’t upgrade drivers on out Leopard systems. We never did generate anything in 708 even our HD stuff went out with the 608 captions forced into 708 via compressor. Hope this helps if you need to know anything else I can try to help more.

Yeah, that was kind of what I was thinking I would have to do, just not real sure of the logistics.

I honestly don’t remember what the issue was, I had thought that would be my solution, but was not happy with the result. I have went ahead and created masks over everything to add a stroke to and accomplished my goal. But would still like to know if there is something out there to extract path data from a series of AI files.

After effects treats each piece as a separate layer so you will end up with 8000 layers in your comp. But don’t worry about that it is all automated. Below is a quick tutorial about sequencing layers, he only uses 3 layers but the process is scalable to what you need.

Importing it as an image sequence would be my first recommendation. But if for some reason you want to be able to manipulate some of the frames independently, You can drop them all into a composition. move over one frame hit option+](or ctrl+] on PC) to make them all on frame long. Then right click with them all selected go to keyframe assit and select sequence layers. this will make you 8000 images a 8000 frame sequence, make sure to adjust your composition length and your done.

I had seen that before, thanks for reminding me of it. This should be a good start.

We are using final cut pro. From what I can tell there is no way to associate the Proxy files with the Final Cut files, and we are trying to use the proxies for archival purposes, if I am mistaken please let me know.
