Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like it gets put automatically into the Canon EOS DSLR forum, but I’ve added it to the DSLR Video forum.

Thanks Claude. That tutorial was helpful for the YouTube part of the workflow.

Thanks Claude. Do you mean poor results on youtube in terms of the quality of the language or poor visually. I’ve got the language part covered. I already have quality transcriptions.

I would, however, like to simplify the production side by using their overlay system and not doing any burn-in. This makes the production much easier, especially for multiple languages. So I guess then I’m stuck with their visual display. Good question as to whether that would work visual in my case. Thanks for raising it.

Any other thoughts on the subtitle workflow for web delivery (not burn-in)? Assume that I’ve got full-quality transcriptions. The transcription just needs be broken up into chunks, timed and exported as something like a .srt file.

Thanks.

Thanks Bret. Interesting to hear about scribie.com but I’m doing this in a nonprofit context with lots of good volunteer help for what scribie.com does and no budget for outsourcing.

I’ve already got good quality transcripts and foreign-language dub audio files. What I’m looking for is advice on the workflow to put those pieces together.

AFIK GarageBandX is LPX-lite just the same way that iMovie X is FCPX-lite.

[Mitch Ives] “Not sure where you got the info that you’re basing your theory on, but I certainly hope you’re right on all accounts…”

Thanks … I hope so too 🙂

As for where I got the info:
Alex4D (see https://alex4d.com/notes/item/imovie-2013-is-consumer-ui-on-fcpx) has done a lot to show the common code-base for FCPX/iMovie. For LPX/Garageband, the similarities between them are pretty apparent if you look at both of them.
Drop in software prices I take as common knowledge.

The rest just builds on those patterns and what Apple has said.

BTW, I’m not the only one saying this sort of thing. Take a look at https://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2014/6/27/aperture-dead-long-live-photos

My research suggest that techcrunch got that meme going. They now say at the bottom of https://techcrunch.com/2014/06/27/apple-to-cease-development-of-aperture-and-transition-users-to-photos-for-os-x/ that:

“Article updated to clarify that there is no official workflow for migrating to Lightroom.”

It may also depend on your workflow. I use RX3 standalone and it’s great but I’ve seen others say it’s not so good as a plugin in X. For broadband noise reduction as a plugin in X, Sound Soap might do the trick.

It looks to me like Tony didn’t either. He just pointed out the the CION ad singled out FCPX by using it rather than some other NLE. IMO that’s the intriguing point.

I will also work “backwards,” starting with the largest timecode in the notes list and working toward the start. That way the changes I make don’t affect the remaining timecodes. Quick and simple.
