Hey all

I have two tracks in which i edited subtitles made with the title tool in two different languages. i would like to have the possibility to switch back and forth between them but I can't figure out how. let's say I have sub in english on track 4 and sub in spanish on track 5. to see them in english no problem but to see them in spanish i have a problem. if I invert tracks 4 and 5 and exclude track 5 by having the monitor on track 4 i still see track five. how can I solve this? I hope it was clear enough

thanks

 This is currently a limitation with Avid's timelines. The workaround that I use is to leave an empty track below the two ST tracks. Then I lasso all of the subtitiles from left to right and drag them down to the empty track. I then view that track when editing. When I am ready for the other languae, I move the first back to its track and move the second down.

It's a kludge, to be sure, but, until Avid can give us isolated solos on an effect track, it's the best we got.

 The best workflow may be the following

1. Cut your sequence with the native language track as a top track.

2. From the Sub cap plugin export a DS caption file.

3. Translate that file to the new language.

3. Dup the sequence and delete all track with the sub cap effect.

4. Add a new top level track and apply the SubCap effect. ( A single instance across the entire top level track)

5. From the SubCap effect import the translated file.
