Re: Adding Subtitle

Annotation Edit makes a special varialble rate QT file that you first need to open in QT Pro 7. You then need to save it out as a Pro Res 4444 (or another codec that creates a proper alpha channel).

It's actually a really cool program and very reasonable in price. It does many different formats.

As far as the 10-bit issue and rendering. As far as I know, FCP 7 cannot process 10-bit RGB unscaled video data. You can do 10-bit YCBCR, but not 10-bit RGB. So, you will be left with a color shift due to the color space conversions. This is why Resolve v8 is so great. AND, the Resolve v8 will render this out FASTER then anything else due to the CUDA acceleration. In After Effects 5 on OS X and in Avid DS (on win 7) the renders are at about 4-5 FPS for HD 10b RGB or 2k DCI 10b RGB. Resolve did it faster then real time.

So, install another HD in your Resolve and install v8. Just clone the startup HD, rename it and install v8. This way you can finish your v7 show. Or if you have another machine on your network install Resolve there and do the render on that system. Even if you only have a single CUDA GPU on the second machine it will still render faster then AE or DS.
