Jonesy Jones Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hey guys, I recently finished my first feature film (https://vimeo.com/103010031), though we still have not released on DVD, we hope to do that very soon. One of the things that has come up recently though is that we will be marketing this to a Spanish speaking market as well and therefore we need subtitles. I've never done this though and was hoping someone knew of a good tutorial or could point me in the direction of the quickest method for creating optional subtitles (subtitles that can be turned on or off in the menu). I have someone who is willing and able to do the translation, but I have absolutely no idea how this all works from a technical standpoint. I'm sure I can go fish around on google or whatever and find what I need to know, but I'm hoping someone here has maybe done this recently and can save me some time and get me right where I need to go. I'm using Adobe's suite so something within that realm would be preferable, unless there's a much better alternative. Anyway, thanks in advance.

xenogears Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The best practice is to use a subtitle software software as Subtitle Workshop (windows) or Jubler (Mac) both free, then you can export your subtitles to almost any format available.How will be distributed your feature film? because I think Vimeo don´t use Close Captions as YouTube.If will be released on DVD or BluRay then you can make the authoring with Adobe Encore (CS6 was the last version).Good luck.

Cinegain Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Because you need to include a space ' ' behind a link, else the mark-up will make everything before the space to be included with the link, in this case '),'.Here's a link with a space: http://vimeo.com/103010031 . Anyways, I thought Vimeo now had closed captioning as well?- A, here, check it out: http://vimeo.com/help/faq/managing-your-videos/captions-and-subtitles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
