Subtitling made easy?

Hello everyone
I've just finished DVD authoring of a 52-minute project on Encore DVD CS5 that also contains English subtitles. The client also requested for separate files of this project for web use but with the subs embedded on each file. Since Encore can export a txt file with all subs and timecode, is there a way I could possibly import this file inside Premiere and use it? Otherwise, I'd have to manually create an equal number of lower third titles and place each one separately, which, frankly I would like to avoid, since it's a ton of work. Any suggestion, even for a third party tool would help.
Thanks

Here's a discussion that might help you. It is focused on youtube, however.
Exporting captions from Encore for YouTube?

Subtitles made in DVDSP. Need to move them due to a cut in video. How?

I have a 90 minute film with subtitles made in DVDSP. Picture and subtitles were perfectly lined up until I made a 5-second cut in one scene 40 minutes into the film.
I need to move the subtitles from that scene until the end of the movie by 5 seconds.
I was told I can only move one subtitle at a time in DVDSP, is this possible???
Shouldn't there be a way to select them and move them all together?
Thanks for your help
Paula

'Fraid not... the software assumes that your cut is done by the time it gets to DVD SP.

user10233638, did you install a 64 bit Oracle client or a 32 bit Oracle client? Your subject line says instant client which I would think you are using the EZconnect feature. To the best of my knowledge, which I admint is limited in regards to the instant client, I thought that the EZ connection like a java thin client connection supplied all the Oracle target information so not tnsnames.ora file was required.
I found a EQ connection example in the following while researching your issue:
ORA-12154 When Using Long SQLNET Alias in DBQ Property of ODBC Connection String or TNS Service Name of DSN [ID 1340407.1]
Is there any reason you are not using a regular Oracle client or an ODAC client installation? The ODAC client installation does not come with the network configuration tools but I have copied a tnsnames.ora file into the appropriate directory my customer wanted installed so they could use the MS Visual Studio support provided by ODAC. We are using that client to support connections to Oracle.
As far as I know Oracle does not care if you point to a network hosted tnsnames.ora file via the TNS_ADMIN environment variable. So long as the sqlnet software can open and read the tnsnames.ora file I am pretty sure Oracle does not care. We have been using a network hosted tnsnames.ora file to support desktop clients for over a decade and a half though we do not use this option from servers. I am pretty sure it was Oracle support that suggested using a commont client tnsnames.ora file to us to begin with.

Dynamic Mod_Rewrite Just Made Easy
Mod Rewrite Dynamic URL's into Static URL's The Issue at Hand, There are two types of URLs: dynamic and static. A dynamic URL is a page address that results from the search of a database-driven web site or the URL of a web site that runs a script. In contrast to static URLs, in which the contents of the web page stay the same unless the changes are hard-coded into the HTML, dynamic URLs are generated from specific queries to a site's database. The dynamic page is basically only a template in which to display the results of the database query. Instead of changing information in the HTML code, the data is changed in the database.

How to import subtitles made with Final Cut in DVD studio Pro?

Hello!
I made subtitles for a movie directly on a track of my final cut timeline. How can I import now this into DVD studio pro to make an independant subtitle track?
thank you.

DVD Studio Pro can work with STL subtitle files. they are nothing more spectacular than a plain text file.
There's a ton of information in DVDSP's online manual, under the Help menu bar item.
search that pdf for "Creating an STL Format Subtitle File".
This file can be configured to display when the user wants to see it or made permanent with the "Force Display" option.
If you export your FCP Timeline the subtitles on it will be burned into the video permanently.

Firmware upgrade made easy

Why wont nokia firmware upgrade get beta like the iphone,cause nokia upgrade is so stressing u backup,format,do this do that jeez.but iphone just click update everything starts like magic only what u have to do is keep the internet connection steady others are done by the upgrader software. PLEASE NOKIA HELP US TO HELP YOU MAKE UPGRADING MORE EASIER BY INTRODUCING NEW FIRMWARE THAT WILL BE MUCH LIKE APPLE iphone. Please nokia users,help to persuade.

Not only iPhone but Motorola upgrader utility also doing like iPhone. I have a Motorola KRZR K1 and I have upgrade its firmware and its utility first backup all the data from mobile then doing firmware upgrade and then restore everything. Many users asking NSU to do like this and hope Nokia also will make NSU like this. We have to wait for it.

More Subtitling Madness

I've got a 90 min movie with 4 subtitle tracks (ENG, FR, IT, ESP) all imported from .txt scripts. I've got about 2000 subtitles. I'm living a nightmare.
Here is what I'm struggling with:
1. If I try to import the ST file with the indication to start at 00:00:04:00 instead of at 00:00:00:00, it SUBTRACTS 4 seconds instead of pushing them forward.
-my workaround: import normally, double-click the whole track and just drag them all 4 seconds down the timeline.
2. AE DVD2 doesn't always fully respect the time code. Some subtitle clips don't reach all the way to their "out" frame so the ST disappears too soon and others just slightly go over the "out". In both cases, these are hairline differences in how the clip is placed on the timeline with regard to its timecode. Technically, it's "there". But in reality, it isn't. And it's extremely annoying, especially when the shot changes and you get this flash of spill-over subtitle on the screen.
-my workaround: using the double-headed arrow, individually dragging each clip out and back to snap to the CTI. Did I say I have 2000 subtitles?
3. AE DVD 2 does NOT respect individual subtitle format changes.
Ex: Off-screen voice=italic subtitle
I individually changed the subtitles concerned to italics, saving my projct as I went, kept working, then closed and got some sleep. I come back to it and discover the entire subtitle tracks are converted to italics and none of the individual font changes were kept either.
I too fell into the faux italic button trap. Thinking it was a short cut when in fact you need to actually pick Italic out of the pull-down menu. But now that I see that regardless of how you change the format, it doesn't matter because it doesn't work no matter how you change the attribute.
I've had all the same error messages as everyone else in this forum, "error creating subtitles", "abnormal situation", "one chance to save". I have rebuilt the project too any times to count, redoing everything (did I mention the 2000 misbehaving subtitles?), and that takes time. Apparently too much time because after a few hours, I get the "out of memory" and/or "once chance to save" message. It's so ridiculous that I have even started saving backups of my backups.
It seems the only way to get the correct subtitles actually onto the dvd is to do everything in one fell swoop, at the risk of having it run out of memory in the process. BTW I turn off everything when using AE DVD2 and hold my breath everytime I click "edit with Photoshop" fearing memory surge and program crash. I've read all the posts here, tried the workarounds people suggest, and nothing is working. I've changed the font, duplicated and deleted tracks, reimported, rechanged, redone and resaved the project and now I'm here to vent. No. I'm here to ask Adobe to figure out the mess so we can all get back to being creative and stop being video "deTECHtives".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought Encore three months ago so I could do one project, right now I am three days behind, everything is done but subtitles... after 60 minutes of subtitles are added it simply crashes during save--oh, did I mention it EATS THE .NCOR FILES WHEN IT CRASHES DURING SAVE? The files literally vanish the moment the error message shows up. I have installed it on two different machines with two different Windows OS, the error is the same on both. So I have 10 minutes of video that is impossible to subtitle, and because I can't export the subtitle track I can't just do the last few minutes in a text editor. The production and distribution folks are waiting on me and I'm going to have my reputation ruined by a stupid piece of software. I've used presentation and movie software since the PC existed, I had a copy of "Action!" the pre-cursor to Flash, and I've NEVER seen a professional product this terrible. On Monday I will be asking for a refund.
I'm seriously considering writing a DVD image, decrypting it with a hacking tool, pulling out the subtitle track, editing it, and re-importing the finished track to Encore.

Client Directed File Changes Made Easy in CS3??

Is there an easy way to deal with undecided client color and font choices within files? (I prefer not to use Version Cue.)
Is there something similar to "snapshots" in either Photoshop or Illustrator that I can use without having to save the file out a hundred times with each little change? How can I maintain the filebut show different versions to the client?

In photoshop, you can use LayerComps to generate diferent versions of the design, then you can import this file into Ai ant choose what version to use.
Other way I use, make just one file in Illustrator, with diferent versions of the design, activate page tiling under view menu, and activate under file/print/setup/tilefull pages.
Then save the ilustrator document as a pdf activating the option "Crate multi page from page tiles", that way, ther will be a pdf with one page for each design, give it a try.
here some pictures, see it in numeric order

Printing, can it be made easy?

Hello, I am trying to figure out a way to print the contents of a Jpanel in a JFrame. However, this Jpanel holds 1 to many other JPanels which may contain lables, textfields, a textArea, as well as some other things. Is this a hard and complicated thing to do? I am a newbie so many things are :). If this is very difficult to accomplish would it be easier to print Object attributes from a Vector. I have searched countless books ,java tutorials, and websites and I cannot find a example of which I could build off, let alone get started. I at least need to figure out how to print from the Vector but the printing of the panel would be nicer. On top of this I would need to possibly print more than one page. Currently, I have a print button and a print menu item that do nothing but look pretty. Can anyone help me or give me nudge in the right direction? As I stated most of the information I have found and read seem to deal with printing tables and drawings. Thank you in advanced.

If you had looked then you would have found this:

I know this because I just had a printing issue and thats where I found what I needed, at least to start. Anway, maybe you should try finding this stuff by yourself first next time.

User Comparison made easy?

Hello all --
Sorry if this is an old and already answered question, I did some searching but nothing came up.
Is it possible to do a "User Comparison" in bulk, or to schedule that as a background job? I find myself go through many roles and check the user comparison manually, but it seems like there should be a way to automate that. I am not that clear on what it actually does, although I believe it applies changes made somewhere.
Thanks in advance...
MMPP

Thanks Raghu for your reply, and sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
May I ask you for further details regarding your comment?

This can play havoc with authorizations if you do not use it properly.
How is this different from running the user master comparison from within the role? How would you avoid using it "improperly"?

Labelling wires can be made easy ..!! Take the control Name as default - Label Name for wire

Wire : Right Click --> Visbile --> Label (Its void Now )
Solution : It can take the control Name as default label of the wire, instead of being Void
Not sure if this idea is already proposed.

sandyy wrote:
Ya true, in the above case it should take the indicator Label
It's just as easy to construct a case where there are multiple sinks to the wire and then you can't just say "take the indicator label". My point was that I don't want NI spending time on figuring that out and writing that code.
As for your second example, now there's suddenly even more magic in there - The wire labels somehow gained the brackets and the wires which have an uninitialized shift register as a source somehow know that they should take the labels from other wires in the loop.
If you think the logic for this is simple, you can try writing a Quick Drop shortcut which will do this - for all selected elements which are wires, go find their ultimate source and take its label and apply it to the wire. I think if you try that you'll appreciate why I don't want NI to spend time on this. You might also find that the tool you wrote works well enough for you and you can use it right now without having to wait for NI.

Id3 tags made easy...why not?

Hi,
I use a couple of different programs when working with ID3 tags. With one it uses the CDDB to autotag the songs. The other I use for cleaning up tags when needed, or use it to rename files for songs based on the tags.
What I'm wondering is why iTunes couldn't incorporate something similar to look up track info? I know you can do it when importing a CD using iTunes, but why not for mp3s that you get elsewhere? Is it just because iTunes only wants you to get music you buy from them, thus they make it hard?
Just wondering and wanted others' opinions.
Thanks,
ipod the sheriff (but I didn't shoot the mp3s)

This is not a problem with iTunes. If you're dealing with AIFF or WAV files, then little if any metadata will/can be preserved. Apple Lossless, AAC and MP3 all retain metadata when transferring to another computer, providing the other computer is running iTunes or otherwise using software capable of reading the necessary metadata.
I should perhaps point out that passing along your music files to friends is usually in violation of applicable laws and regulations, unless you own full rights to the music.
