Hello all,
Using Subtitle Edit 3.2 Beta 3, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, and Adobe Encore CS5.1.
I just spent a couple days transcribing a long training DVD. I want the subtitles to be a normal subtitle track on a DVD. My workflow was:
* Edit the video complete in Premiere Pro CS5.5. Source video is HDV and the sequence is natively 30fps non-drop. Premiere created this sequence based on the footage.
* Export with Media Encoder to MPEG2. Timecode is still non-drop and is set to 29.97.
* I used Subtitle Edit 3.1 to do the transcription. Frame rate in the program is set to 29.97.
* Exported/Saved as Adobe Encore TXT file.
* Started Adobe Encore CS5.1 project. Imported the same MPEG2 as asset.
* Imported the TXT as new subtitle track.
The subtitles start off fine, but they kind of drift. I thought Encore was supposed to handle drop/non-drop TC formats? By the end of the hour of video, the subtitles are about 3 seconds late. For instance, I have a title that is supposed to be at TC 00:52:46:10 (that's timecode, not time). When I import it, it actually comes in at TC 00;52;49;11.
Anyone have any idea what is going on? I have Subtitle Edit set up for 29.97 frame rate. Is this a conversion issue? Or do I really need to put frames between titles? It gives a warning about Blu-ray, but I am only doing DVD.
If you have any ideas, please let me know.
