Premier CC Subtitles Question

Hi,
Background - I am trying to create a video set as a screensaver that shows subtitles/closed captions. I have not been able to find software that will play a video with a sidecar closed caption file while in video screensaver mode (caption files work outside screensaver mode). I have also embedded the subtittles but the video screensaver software doesn't play the captions.
What I am doing now is creating titles for the captions. However this is a very tedious process. Is there anyway to make a scc/srt file hard coded onto the video that will always show? Or is there a way in Premier CC to convert the the captions to titles?
Let me know if I need to clarify what I am trying to accomplish.

If you had asked last week I could have supplied a link to the instructions. I just deleted in over the weekend and replaced it with the Photoshop link.
The file with the macros is located here: http://stevengotz.com/files/Premiere-Pro-Title-Creation-Tool.docm
A tutorial is located here: Title Creation Macro Tutorial - YouTube
By the way, after I did the tutorial I realized that Area Text works better. The use of an Excel file was just because I wanted to use text concatenation to make it easy on myself.

What did you do....purchase an online download of Photoshop Elements 13 from Adobe. Are you within 30 days of the date of that purchase?

Best Font for Subtitles? and other General Subtitling questions?

I've never had to use subtitles, until my current project, so I am looking for some general advice and suggestions.
I will be using PPCS3 (on XPpro) as the subtitles (as in the kind that translate a foreign language) will be permanent.
So here are my questions:
1. What is the best font and or what is the most standard font for subtitles? (Font size and other characteristics may be worth mentioning here too.)
2. Is it possible to have an outline around the text as opposed to shadow?
3. What are some general rules of thumb for subtitles that apply to broadcast and cinematic productions?
Thank you.

Premier Pro Workflow question

Hi,
I am wondering, from an industry standard point of view, what the reccomended workflow would be for the following situation (I know that each project brings its own special requirements, but I was hoping that some of you on the forum have worked with this type of project before, and can give some advice)
We are producing several, roughly 20 minute episodes of a childrens show. The episode has several scenes, and each scene is comprised of several shots. Our characters are hand operated miniature figures, and they are filmed against either a blue/green screen, or in miniature scale sets. The footage is first brought into Premier, where rough keying and compositing is done, to achieve each rough shot. These are then edited into their respective scenes. Once the rough editing is done, the project is handed over to Afer Effects, where the footage is replaced with the originals (As low res proxies are used in the edits), proper keying and compositing is done, and effects are added. This is then rendered as a DI, imported back into Premier as a video layer and then rendered out in the final delivery codec.
My question is as follows:
Is it better to create one project, with multiple sequences, one for each scene and then a sequence for the episode (Master sequence) - or is it more advisable to create several seperate premier projects, one per scene and then import these into a new master Episode project? I guess it might be a matter of "What you prefer", but I was wondering if there is a suggested industry standard as to how this is normally approached.
Thank you for any advice,
Pierre Devereux

Hi Guys,
Thank you all for your input - it really is helpfull.
On the two topics my question created:
One VS Two Projects - We have decided to go for the approach of several projects per episode, each containing its own sequence of several shots. These will be dynamically linked back to AE for the duration of the work on that scene to make back and forth work better. Each project will be imported in a main episode project, and final edits will be done there. This will also help us, beacuse as mentioned, we have several people working on a project at the same time - we will be able to work easier accross mulitple PC's this way.
DI VS Dynamic link, or direct AE export - We do daily renders of our AE projects (there are a few reasons for this, one being the fact that our hardware is not up to scratch, so working woth 4K layers just doesnt work on the editing system) into proxy and intermediate codecs as Fuzzy stated. As a result, we have these files, and placing them into the premier timeline allows us to do any last minute edits quickly (transitions, small cuts etc) and then a much quicker final render to delivery codec. There are also other tracks added before the final render, sound layers being one fo them.
I am aware that there are always several ways to complete any project, and workflows are fluid things, able to change as needed, but for now, this seems to be the one that suits us best.
Steven,
Thank you for your input, and your questions, it gives me a chance to re-evaluate our workflow and look for improvements - something I do often!
Fuzzy,
As always, thank you for your input and support! - your comments are worth gold!
Jim,
thank you for your comment - I must admit, in the ideal world, I would also love one single project, coming from a Server administrator background, I miss the order!

Subtitling (question about archived material)

OK, I've looked through the archived questions about how to subtitle...and I just want to make sure I do this right. If I do subtitles in DVDSP, do I write them up in a text file first and then import them, or just type them in manually?
If I do subtitles in FCP I just use something like Title3D and type them in manually...creating a whole buncha overlay (title) clips, right?
Forgive the redundency, I know how subtitles are supposed to look, just trying to find the best (and least time consuming) way to produce them.
FYI...the subtitles will be of a person from Spain speaking English (it's kinda hard to understand him since he talks fast and has a heavy Spanish accent).
Thanks, all, in advance.
Jonathan

subtitling (question about archived material)< </div>
So you are trying put subtitles on your archived material?
If you use the subtitle track in DVDSP, the text will be switchable by the user. (This is made more complicated by several factors like your desire to make the subtitles permanent or uncontrollable by the user. These are options you can control by programming the DVDSP project. Not difficult but very confusing.)
If you use a text tool in FCP, the titles will be permanently burned into the video image.
If you use some fo the more sophisticated (read: Expensive) subtitling tools for FCP, you can export a caption-compliant file that can be printed to videotape or mastered to DVD. If you own one of these products, you are at the complete mercy of their manual's writer.

* highlighting something in a video ... pausing the video briefly with a halo / circle and then resuming it ... how do i do that?
* creating a title that runs the length of the video ... how do I do it and not have to re-do it when I add new clips?
* how to I add a title page and change how long it and the text remain visibile?
Thanks.

Woody,
I like Steve's Lighting Effect method, as it is very simple to accomplish.
There are also several other methods, that can give a different "look." This article covers some of those: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1765005#1765005
As far a "pausing" the action, one can create a Freeze Frame of the last Frame on a Clip, then insert that, between the Video Clips. The Duration can be increased, or decreased, as needed, and some of the same "highlighting" techniques can be employed to it, as well.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality (appear fuzzy / blurry / lo res) in premier pro cs6?

Premier Pro CS6 Question.....
Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality when imported to premier pro cs6?
I have still shots that have text and they look clean and crisp when I view them in photoshop. Why does the photo and text look so fuzzy or blurry and not crisp when I import the still files into premier pro cs6?
Is there a setting in premier that I am setting incorrectly? That is possibly blurring my photos and text? The problem appears in both my PR file and my final exported work.
Is there a way to retain the quality of the image and text that I see in my photoshop file?
Note: I am not enlarging anything after import, I am reducing though, but I would think this would only make images and text sharper????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im getting tired of doing all my work and delivering blurry / fuzzy / what appears to be low resolution images and text when I complete my project.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi Jim, thanks so much again for chiming in to my questions.
Specs of Stills - Photoshop file - 677 x 1014px, 150dpi, 1.96M file size, 150dpi, this is the size of the file I originally imported and reduced to approx. 65%, the one sized properly in photoshop imported fuzzier.
Sequence Settings -
Export Settings, FLV, attached are settings.
1. EXPORT FILTER SETTINGS...
2. EXPORT FORMAT SETTINGS
3. EXPORT VIDEO SETTINGS
FINAL PROJECT IS DELIVERY OF FLV FILE TO EMBED IN INTERACTIVE FILE. Ive tried different settings for different jobs, just feel all text and photos fall apart when pulled into and exported to FLV for embedding final.
Ive done several slideshow and video's in premier pro, have so much to learn still, Im thinking I keep diving into my projects and possibly making a total mess out of my settings for the desired final destination? is this possible?

Link Menu Buttons to Subtitle Track in Encore DVD 2.0?

I desperately need help with subtitles in DVD 2.0. I did: “Timeline > Add Subtitle Track” on each of my 10 timelines. I added a few subtitle texts to check how it works. So far so good. I created a submenu with “Select Subtitle, etc.” Then I tried to ‘link’ the Subtitle Button on this menu to subtitle track #1 – but it wasn't available in the Subtitle Button’s Properties panel’s Link drop down menu (and the Override drop down menu was grayed out).The Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 Manual says (on p. 222) that “You can set the audio or subtitle track with any link control (such as End Action or Override) in the Properties panel.” This doesn't seem to be the case unless I am doing something wrong (most probably). Also, on the same page, the manual says that “2. Select a button to set … the subtitle track… 3. In the Properties panel, choose Specify Other from the Link pop-up menu.” There is no “Specify Other” selection in the list. (One comment: The subtitle track does not show up in the Project panel – may be this is the problem?) I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Laci.

HI Bill, I have another subtitle question. I finished my first (big) Encore DVD 2.0 project yesterday (). I build the DVD image but when I tried to burn it to a DVD disk it turned out that the project has about 122 million more bytes than what would fit on the disk (). So, with PE 7, I edited some of the 9 movies in the project (exported them with same name, to the same place as during the first time) and I opened the Encore project. I noticed that it used the old (imported by Encore) avi files. Then I did something not very smart: deleted the old (and long) avi. files from the project and imported the edited (and shorter) new avi files. At this point, I noticed, that my laboriously created subtitles disappeared .
Do these subtitles still exist somewhere? There is a file in the project, called "SpuSplit.ses" in the SubtitleDataFiles folder but I do not know how to open it or if it would help at all. More important: What should I do next time to save the subtitles (or audio for that matter) if I still want to make some (minor) editing on my project after building the DVD? (I assume that I have to create the subtitles in script files and then import them as many times as I want. Am I right?)
Thanks for any help, Laci.
(BTW, I uploaded my picture and it is in 'My Profile' but does not show up with these massages.)

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files?

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files in one of the following formats (DFXP, SBV, SRT, SSI, TXT, VTT)?
Thank you,

No. Premiere Elements does not support subtitles. If you want subtitles you can workaround it by having two versions of your video, one with text added to the video track and one without - but you wouldn't be able to toggle between them during playback.

Question: Why does DVDSP "hang: when adding subtitles

I'm having a real problem adding subtitles to my 3.7 GB project. It's all built and I was in the process of adding subtitles to the 1 hr 30 minute film. Yesterday it worked fine, copying and pasting from a text application into subtitles I'm making as I go, but today it's been a nightmare.
I find after only two or there additions, I suddenly get the spinning wheel "program not responding" and have to force quit. I reopen the project and if I'm lucky I can add two or three subtitles, saving each time, before I get the"spinning wheel of frustration".
(problem posting this message so this is a repost)
I have no idea what's causing it. But it DVDSP at this stage of my project definitely doesn't like subtitles being edited, moved or played. It becomes unstable and then hangs.
I've downloaded the latest security update incase that helped, turned off the clock, (old habit) Nothing works.
A project that was going to take two hours to finish looks like taking two days now! I'll plod on but I could really do with some help.
Any ideas?

Where to direct a general questions about foreign films subtitles?

I recently purchased a foreign film "Break Ke Badd" from the iTunes store. Although, it didn't specify that it had English subtitles, I assumed it did. After the full download, I tried to watch it and there weren't any English subs. I contacted iTunes and they more than happy to refund the money back to my account. Now after a few weeks, the iTunes store DOES list Eng subs for this film. I don't want to purchase it again and have to contact iTunes for another refund...Therefore my question is, is there a general question contact one could use to find an answer to my question. Basically, to verify that this movie, indeed has English subs before I re-purchase.
Any info is appreciated!

Yes I know as the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/ Questions] section is more for desktop Firefox support and the place I linked to is for "Firefox OS" support in English where some who are involved with it do post in it occasionally.
I would have moved that [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962783 thread] to the "Firefox OS" English section, however I cannot as the [https://support.mozilla.org//questions/ Questions] and [https://support.mozilla.org/forums Contributor Forums] are not the same.
