Avid DVD - Adding Subtitles - Part 2

drbgaijin — Mon, 11 May 2009 04:19:03 GMT

Unfortunately subtitles created within MC, using the SubCap Generator, cannot be easily imported into AvidDVD.
If you want to work with subtitles in one or more languages and give the viewer the possibility of choosing which they want to have on-screen, AvidDVD offers a better solution.
These 3 tutorials will hopefully give you a little insight into how AvidDVD deals with subtitles.

Part 2. Entering Japanese subtitles on a non-Japanese OS, and Copying & Pasting from other sources.

Expanding Library of Media Composer Tutorials

drbgaijin — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:40:12 GMT

I am a relative newcomer to Media Composer (early 2008) and as I began to feel my way around I got the idea of documenting my adventures by creating short video tutorials,
Avid had already a large number of excellent, professionally produced tutorials online.
I learned very much from watching them. However I sometimes felt that newcomers like myself needed a much more basic approach to many of the things that were being taken for granted.

The first 20 or so tutorials were specifically made to help migrants from Avid/Pinnacle Liquid. However, many of those contain tips that can be useful to any newcomers.

The two main points that I have learned since arriving here are:

1. Media Composer has many, many ways of achieving a given result. My tutorials usually show only 1 of them. Be flexible and experiment for yourself. Nothing is set in stone.

2. If you are coming from a different NLE family, try and leave your old workflows behind you.
Don't try and figure out how to emulate them in MC.
The sooner you begin to accept the MC way, the sooner you will get up to speed and discover its flexibility.
It took me only 14 days before I completely stopped using Liquid.
