Subtitles, still not possible? Workflow suggestions please.

Hi all,
I have a client who wants to have (burned in) subtitles under an excisting piece of video.
I was thinking "He... No problem in PPro", but to my surprise this isn't really possible. I've been searching the web, and besides the same question going back to !!2006!! there's no real solution.
The only suggestions I found are about doing this in Encore. But the problem there is that Encore cannot export to .mp4 or Flash video. Or export the video and have the subs burned in for convenience sake.
I could treat all subs as titles in PPro, but this would take a lot longer. I cannot understand this basic functionality isn't available for PPro.
We don't all have Encore installed just for the sake of adding subtitles to a video.
If anyone has a good workflow for stuff like this, I really like to hear it. Preferably without resorting to installing all kinds of exotic apps and weird file shuffles.
Thanks!!
Rob

OE =  PEBKAC I guess.......
I'll ask the admin to install Encore as well, as it might be handy to have installed next to PPro. Didin't know it comes bundled with it. Never had the need for it...
In the meantime I found an interesting script for AE called "pt_ImportSubTitles", that will import a Encore subs .txt file with all the timecode intact. From there you can go back to into PPro and import the AE comp as overlay on the videotrack.
Still a bit cumbersome, but workable for now and a lot faster than adding it one by one in PPro. Also the subs are still editable in AE, so it's a bit more fluid while working with it.
It would be very handy to have something similar in a future version of PPro, as subs don't always have to be on a DVD only.

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

    I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    Hi troy157,
    I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Still not possible (4.0 EA3) to copy displayed column headings from ref cursor output.

    Hi,
    I've created an enhancement request to allow displayed column headings from ref_cursor output to be copied.
    This is still not possible (4.0 EA3)
    The ref cursor data can be copied, but not the headings..
    See July 2012 discussion of problem in comments at
    http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2011/12/sql-developer-tip-viewing-refcursor-output/

    Hi,
    I think you're out of luck... except if you're on 11g where you can use DBMS_SQL.TO_CURSOR_NUMBER to convert the REF CURSOR to a DBMS_SQL cursor, and then benefit from the DBMS_SQL package to get column details.

  • Recovery still not possible after 6760 attempts due to ORABPEL-11001

    Version 10.1.3.1.0
    Hi,
    We have two BPELs which keep filling up the domain log with the line in the heading:
    Recovery still not possible after 6760 attempts due to ORABPEL-11001...
    I believe we have fixed any possible input directory issues but the error message continues to be written.
    I expect that redeploying (rebooting server?) should end the messages but, either way:
    Do you know if there is a setting on either the BPEL development process (jDev) or the SOA server where I can limit the number of attempts?
    Thank you,
    AG

    We are running on Unix.
    The BPELs were deployed before the respective in-/output directories had been created. I think this might have caused the initial problem.
    Once the directories were created (with full permissions -777), though, the messages continued.
    I checked the descriptors on the deployed bpels and they seem to be pointing to the correct absolute path for the input files.
    So, ASSUMING that the paths are now correct and permissions are ok:
    Is there any way of making the attempts stop (as in "kill -9 annoying_bpel_process" ;) ?, or,
    Is there a setting in the server admin side to limit the number of attempts in the future ?, or,
    Do we need to redeploy the same Bpel after we created the directories ?
    Thank you for your help.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Workflow suggestions, please - Folder to Collection?

    I need some suggestions please of how to efficiently get images from Folders to Collections.  Within each folder I need to select images and place them in the same collection.
    What I'm currently doing is to set the required Collection as Target Collection.  However, when I select the images in the folder - either all (Ctrl+A) or random (Ctrl + L.click) and then press B, only the first image gets placed in the Target Collection.
    Is this a bug or feature?
    I can work around this by dragging the selected images to the collection but then have to keep switching between the Folders and Collection view.
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    Thxs
    Colin

    Answered my own question
    The problem for me is that I was using two monitors.
    The second display was set to Grid view and this is where I select the images.  If you then press 'B' to send to the Target Collection then only the first image gets sent.
    If you have Grid View on the first display and then select the images and press 'B'  all the selected images go to the Target Collection.
    The same effect happens with Flagging or setting Colour Labels.  Only first image on second screen (Grid View) but all selected images if on first screen (Grid View)
    Bug or feature!

  • Quicktime movie trailers still not playing, could someone please help me?

    I have not been able to watch any movie trailers from quicktime for two years now and this is really getting old.
    my inf!
    computer: DELL
    system: Windows XP SP2
    QT player version: 7.2
    I have all system requirments and updates also allready unselected derctX and selected safe mode, still all I get when loading the movie trailer from QT websight is the white box with QT logo in middle, sometime the logo will also have ?mark over it. I figured it was just taking its own sweet time loading so I wated it out. 4 hours later there was still no change. you'd think apple would have fixed or resolved this problem since it has been ongoing for last two or more years.

  • Workflow Suggestions Please - Adjust Colour, White Balance, Levels, Resize

    Hi,
    I have a number of photographs which I need to present in a consistent fashion - each is slightly different from the next in terms of exposure, levels, white balance etc, but they should all be the same. Because each is different, I can't simply define a preset in each of these and apply across the board: each needs to be consistent....
    So Can anyone suggest an efficient workflow to:
    - Adjust the colour so that each is consistent across the group?
    - Adjust the levels so that each is consistent across the group?
    - Straighten, Crop and resize so that each is an identical size?
    Any advice much appreciated. I'm working with CS3 on a Mac.
    D

    Image: Adjustments: Match Color? I have never found this useful but maybe it's what you need. I would use it on a duplicate layer because as far as I know it's not available as an Adjustment Layer.
    As far as canvas size, as long as you don't have any background layers, you can make all canvas sizes match and it's non destructive (think of the canvas as a window)
    When you do end up scaling the image contents consider using Smart Objects so the sizing is non-destructive.

  • Stack mode and rating images-WORKFLOW SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

    I have a couple of issues when working in stack mode.
    The first is that although I can rate the image that is bordered in white I don't see an easy way to rate the image with the yellow border?
    The second thing that gives me fits is how when I am in stack mode the up and down arrow keys skip over unstacked images while editing.
    My workflow now is to take two passes through a set of images. The first in stack mode to get the stack picks and alternates set. The second pass which I do in Primary mode is to rate the images. This has the disadvantage of not rating the stacked images which are not the 'pick'.
    Anyone got some suggestions from their own workflows?

    Sailor,
    The problem with the opt + return item is that it kicks you out of 'Stack view' into 'Primary' and if you want to return to 'Stack view' then you have to do 'opt + t' and you have lost your place in the stack. (i.e. in a stack of 7 if you were looking at items 1 and 4 when you return to 'Stack view' you are back to looking at 1 and 2 again)
    CONFUSION POINTS: I was using the keyboard shorcut card that came in my v1.0 Aperture box, some of those shortcuts are no longer correct. I have also found that not all of the shortcuts on the current PDF Quick Reference are working as expected.
    I recalled that you can use 'opt =' or 'opt -" to increse the rating on the yellow bordered item. This might lead you to expect that opt 1-5 would assign ratings to the yellow border image but those shortcuts assign metadata.
    I think a part of my problem is that I have been working with much too large stacks. Stacks work better for me if they are smaller and contain images that are visually equivalent but differ in minor details that need magnification to resolve. See: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=831108&tstart=0

  • 6th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). tried everything to fix, but still not working... please help

    I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!
