Export In/Out points for subtitles?

Hi,
I have a finished feature film edited in Final Cut Pro, complete with subtitles, to import a subtitle track into DVD Studio Pro, I need to have the In and Out points, plus actual content in one text file. Is there anyway to export all of this data from Final Cut?? Because at the moment it has to be done by hand which is incrediably long.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice, that would help a lot.
best regards
Harry Atkins

Another one is Belle Nuit Subtitler (see under Importing FCP Text Effect Titles)
or indeed Title Exchange Pro by Sperico.
or SubBits by Video Toolshed
As fas as I know these tools I think the first one is the most powerfull software of the three, for that price.
But that's just my humble opinion.

Setting In and Out Points for Render

Hi everyone!
I was wondering how to tell color to only render from and in and out point, instead of rendering for a whole clip. In FCP I take a ten minute capture, then break it up into sub-clips for each shot, and then edit some of these sub-clips into my video.
When some of these sub-clips require correction in Color the sequence gets sent to color just fine, but when it renders my changes it renders it to the whole clip that the sub-clip came from. This takes too much time because I only need the sub-clip to be rendered, not the whole clip, because that's all I use in my video.
How can I fix this extra rendering? Thanks in advance!

I think that you might find the answer to your question on this link below.

Premiere CC somehow erased all the in/out points for all project subclips

I've been editing a project for over a couple of weeks now, and the first thing I did was go through all of the raw footage (a lot of it was interview footage) and make subclips out them for the 'beats'/segments and to separate the b-roll footage in long files. This worked great, and I almost completely had the project edited in the sequence and was down to little tweaks to clean it up when I opened the project today and wanted to go back and add a subclip I hadn't used. I clicked on the subclip to open it in the Source viewer, and the source file opened without the in/out markers. Just the subclip source. No subclip.
I started clicking through all of the others too. Hundreds of subclips, some used in the sequence, some not - all suddenly stripped of all in/out data. All of them merely referenced the entire, long source clips.
How in the hell is this even possible? That's at least a couple days worth of logging work just GONE.
I'm using fully updated versions of CC apps, as well as the Mac OS on a 2011 MacBook Pro and editing off a LaCie Rugged Drive.

Nested sequences can do that, since they are references to another sequence. Specifically if you open a nest by double clicking on it in the new sequence, change in and out to make another edit, your changes may reflect on your new timeline.

Is it possible to set IN/OUT points for video effects within a single clip in PE4?

Hello,
In PE4, Is it possible to use keyframes to simply turn certain video effects on/off at different points within a single clip ?
Some effects (i.e. Invert)have a Blend With Original setting which makes this easy to achieve, but others (i.e. Ripple)do not.
I understand how to use keyframes to adjust effect properties at different points within a clip, I just can't find a way to simply 'turn-off' or bypass an effect for a period of time.
Thanks All, CB

Chris,
As Steve points out, most Effects are OFF, by default (usually setting their parameters to 0). I just add a Keyframe for that Effect, with those properties, where you want the Effect to be OFF (but check that each Effect that you use starts as OFF, just to be sure). Then, in between the OFF settings, I add Keyframes with the desired parameters to invoke that particular Effect.
One can also use the Razor/Sissors to cut the Clip into segments (just do not move them) to keep the Keyframes in one area of the original Clip. I usually work on the entire Clip, as once the Keyframe is set to OFF for that Effect, no more Keyframes are needed.
Some Effects also have a Bypass setting, that can be Keyframed (in P Pro, and assume in PE). This can be handy to fully turn OFF any Effect. Note: even in P Pro, not all Effects have a Bypass setting.
As usual with PE (and P-Pro and PS), there can be a couple of ways to accomplish the same thing. One can choose the method that suits them best.
Good luck,
Hunt

What is the shortcut Out Point for FCP?

In Motion if your media is highlighted on the timeline your able to just press "I" or "O"
What is it in FCP?

Well, I and O work to create In and Out in FCP as well - though that creates In and Out for the Sequence if either the Timeline or Canvas is active, and not the clip.
In other words, FCP isn't designed to work the way Motion does. The closest approximation is the Time Edit Window (double-click on an edit point or press Command-7) then turn on Dynamic.
If you're looking to replicate the working behavior of Motion in the Timeline then, with the Edit Point selected, use the Extend Edit function (press the E key). I mean, if it's really that important.

Exporting Not Taking In/Out Points

I hope I can explain this clearly. When I create a video in Final Cut Pro (6.0.6) I use In and Out points for the various clips. When I preview the video in the viewer it plays correctly. However, when I export the video there are some random clips that begin prior to the In point that is set. It does not seem to happen with all clips (nor if I use the same original file more than once)...so I can't find a setting affecting this.
Any ideas on how to prevent this?

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean. You set an in point and export and you see a shot in the export that is not in the timeline?
Is it possible you have some small stray clips after the in point on a higher track or on the same track that you are not seeing because the timeline is zoomed out?
Only other thing I can think of is to try deleting render files and re-rendering.

Use Story to create a script for subtitle text

I have found a way to use the Speech Analysis through After Affects to create subtitles. However, the film I am making is a documentary and in a foreign language. We have the transcripts of the translated speech and I need to get that into Premiere and eventually After Effects to create the visual subtitles.
I have seen some threads on using Story to enter transcripts, but I'm new to this Story application and can't figure out how to use it for what I want. I need to assign the text I have to a specific place on the clip. Can Story (and/or Premiere) do this and how do I do it?
I have assigned a scene number then some text, but nothing is showing up in the clip's metadata with the script assigned to it.
Any suggestions? Any other ideas for getting text assigned to timecode points for subtitles?
Thanks.

If you are looking at attaching the story scripts (scene's) data to the clips metadata please follow the instructions from this thread

Export EDL or XML for seq with speed change

Hi,
I am trying to export an EDL or XML of a 30 sec sequence of 10 clips. 5 of them have speed change. Basic speed change, not variable. They are UC 10bit from a DigiBeta captured with a Kona 2.
The problem is that the exported EDL or XML doesn't get the right clips in and out points for recapture on other systems. Any clue?

As long as there are speedchanges in the sequence, FCP will screw the EDL timecodes for source clip in/out and position in the timeline....and it's way off.
And the problem is not with Flame, if I open the XML or EDL in TextEdit, I see the TC mistakes. We do that all the time with the Avid MC and it works very well. Even if the speed changes wouldn't go through, I would expect clips coordonates and in/out to be ok.

Compressor 3.02 In and Out Points Not Correct

This is a follow up to my compressor truncating movies post. I'd like to reiterate that my workflow has not changed and no new software has been added to my system. This work flow used to work like a charm, however after the most recent pro applications update this bug surfaced.
If i drag and drop any uncompressed .mov into compressor, compressor incorrectly detects the in and out points for that clip and truncates the file on output. It seems to be by the same amount every time.
Example:
Clip 1 is a 320x240 uncompressed .mov file created and exported directly from final cut pro (exported as self-contained). the file is 1:53:32 in duration.
Drop that clip into compressor and it sets the in-point at 59:56:09 (it does this every time no matter what clip i try to compress...) and incorrectly reports the duration of the movie as 1:53:05. these in and out times and duration are found in the preview window. no in and out points are set in compressor.
this being said, the resulting output file (same size, same frame rate - no changes to timing) is truncated and the last 4 seconds and change are cropped off the end of the clip.
Any ideas? anybody else have the same kind of problem and find a fix?
I've trashed preferences to no avail... help!
karl

right - the question is... what do we do about it?
i have been able to narrow this down to a problem with footage that's 23.98 fps only however as this is part of my 24p workflow - and because it's the only reason i'm using fcp at this point -- in essence, this problem renders the entire final cut studio useless.
so frustrating!
who's found a workaround/fix for this?? i've been using this same workflow successfully for years and in previous versions of final cut. this problem only surfaced in the past couple of weeks.
AAARGH!

In and out point fcp x

I think it's insane that there's no real in and out points for export in FCP X. Absolutely insane. What you use compound clip....drag the magnet over...hope to get it on the right frame?? You have to copy and paste into new project or event? Again...crazy. This is a basic function. So easy in FCP7
Have you read In The Blink of an Eye?

Yes, I have. More than once. There are better books on editing. Not sure what it has to do with exporting though.

Setting in / out points

Hello all
I have several PSD sequences of all the same 12 second duration, is there a way I can set my in and out points for them all at one time ? I want them all to have the same in and out point or, will I need to add them all individually ? I have in the area of two hundred so, if there is a way to do so , it will save me this time consuming process .....
Thanks

Hello Al
I have the proper duration for the stills , what I am asking is if there is a way to copy the in/out points to all the stills. I want all the still PSD's to have the same in and out points .
Thanks again

Setting in-and-out points -- is this possible?

I set in-and-out points in the preview window by dragging the blue triangles.
I would like to sample various parts of a clip, though there are only 2 triangles.
1. Is there a way to take one segment of video and establish in-and-out points for maybe the first 30 seconds of video and than set another in point maybe 1 minute later with a out point 30 seconds after that. So ultimately the encoding will encode two non-sequential segments of video.
Thanks.

You can't do that, but you can achieve what you want by simply dragging in the clip multiple times into Compressor and for each clip, set your in and out point.

Setting in and out points in list view.

I am in list view. I am showing several favorited clips from one video. Say I am playing back the third favorited range and I want to select in and out points for that favorited range. The video is playing and I hit i. I am immediately jumped from the favorited range I have selected to the first favorited clip in the list. When I click back on the clip I was setting the in point for I find that it has set the in point where I wanted. The entrire process then repeats when I try to select the out point. Set out point. Jumps up to first clip. Click back on original clip to get to my out point.
This is very frustrating and makes using favorites and list view a huge waste of time. Can anyone help?

That should not happen. Before anythign else, do these two things.
1- Go into the "Final Cut Pro" menu, "Command", and be sure "Default" is checked. Quit out of FCP X.
2- Open System Preferences (Apple menu), Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts. Click the "Restore Defaults" option. The issue here is OS shortcuts will override app shortcuts.
3- Launch FCP X and try again. If that doesn't fix it...
4- Download the free app "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) and use it to delete the FCP X pref files.
After you've done all of these, report back and let us know what's up.

New problem/bug when I set in and out points on a clip. Unwanted automatic zoom in on clip timeline.

Playing clips to log and set in and out points for scenes I will use later. Something changed with the new update and I think it is a bug. When I hit the I and O keys to set in and out points on a clip before dragging to the sequence, it zooms in on the clip timeline. I cannot see the full clip time line unless I zoom out which is a pain to do time and time again. How do I get it back to the way it was before? It did not used to zoom in and out, it just marked your in and out point as it played leaving the clip timeline unchanged.
I am using windows 7 with Premiere Pro CC

Hi,
Thanks for your post. I think you are using Premiere pro CS6 as the Project option is included in the file menu and in the video there is an option of project available and visible. Please update your CS6 with the latest 6.0.5 update and the issue will be fixed. The link is provided below. Please update once issue is fixed.

Changing In and Out point on duration of Clone Stamp tool.

Hi guys.
I'm sure topic of this question is quite confusing so here is a clearer explanation.
What I'm trying to do is to use clone stamp tool on a frame by frame basis to remove some elements. There is a lot of them so I will have many layers in Effects > Paint > Clone 1, Clone 2 etc. Each one of them is only needed for one or two frames and I was wondering if there is a quick way (shortcut for example) to set "out point" for that effect without grabbing them individually from the far right end and dragging it to the left.
I'm attaching an example of what I'm doing
I hope there is a simple solution to this as I will have hundreds of these and I would really appreciate some time saving magic.
Thanks a lot guys.
