subtitles

So youtube does a pretty good job of turning transcripts into timed subtitles. And we can use those subtitles in DVD Studio Pro. Cool.
But what if you don't have access to the backend of the clip?
We used to be able to use a firefox extension, but it's not working in latest combo of firefox and flash player.
The answer: 4k Video downloader a standalone app that grabs the vid and the SRT file.
Remember to use jubler to convert it to a DVDSP friendly STL file.

It sucks basically.

Here are some things you can do.

Import the subtitles before you put video on the track to prevent timecode mismatch errors

To edit subtitles properly, not one by feaking one.

Export dvd item description for the track you want.

Extract subtitles using "Subtitle Xtractor"

Work with them in "Jubler"

Save as .stl

Import the .stl back into DVDsp

To burn the subtitles back into FCP.

Same as above but import the .stl file you saved out of Jubler in Belle Nuit Subtitler.
