Re: Suggestions for subtitles/translation workflow for FCS2 via web collab

I really like this last idea. I noticed somewhere else someone used a trick to copy all of the markers to the various angles of a multitrack clip by marking one, duplicating it the number of times for the other angles, and then Replacing the duplicates with the other angles.

This has the advantage of ensuring that there are no TC change issues that send the markers whizzing around within the clips.

Then, with the reconnected clips back in my sequence, ready to be copy/pasted from the selects sequences into the editorial sequences, I will have the translations I need as clip markers and won't have to render all the time.

So all that remains is choosing the best of the solutions for going from Markers to a subtitle generation software -- I am testing SubBits and would love to look at your XML routes, AnnotationEdit, BelleNuit, and a few more options to pick what works best.

Has anyone had experience going from Clip Markers to subs? Obviously, Andreas has the XML chops to get what he needs from metadata, but I'm not sure markers is the usual route.

I tried to give the demo of Traffic a go but ... haven't had time to figure it out. Pretty cool, though.


And the additional great thing about using your suggestion, Andreas, is that the director can also mark other notes on the lowres clip making this for a great method to exchange both annotations and translations without creating extra work for anyone.

I am going to test and report back here.
