Ah, I get it. Just found it. Did you know it's Dutch? It says 4 seasons. I will watch it, thanks for mentioning it. I have a good internet friend on the spectrum. Like me, he was a sign language interpreter. Actually we're texting right now. If you have any links to other caption/subtitle discussions, please let me know. Have a great weekend ... View more

Thanks for telling me more about your experiences. I taught autistic as well as deaf children, learning disabled and deaf-blind. I think it greatly informed me about the world and I learned to sign there, even teaching it to an autistic girl everyone said was nonverbal. Until she signed. Before that all I knew was high school Spanish. Someone told me the more languages you know, the easier it is to learn more of them. I think that's true. Just this morning I was able to speak Spanish with my new neighbor. He was very tolerant of my stumbling around. Perhaps you know this already, but if not it's an eye opener. Until digital video and even now, many European films are transferred to our standard too fast. This comes from analog systems running 25 frames per second video vs 30fps here. Now everyone can do 24fps, but many French films we watch here are still 25fps transfers. That means they're 4.1% too fast. Which is just fast enough to make understanding French more difficult. Not the same as how people talk IRL. I've transferred and mastered many European films for US home video release and this used to drive me crazy. I tried to find Astrid to stream. Where did you get it? Many thanks Bret ... View more

I think we all share the same goal of easing and expanding communication. It's great you have multi-lingual friends. I also speak/sign several and it's enjoyable to converse with people in their own languages. The main difference I've seen over several decades is hearing people can often find other ways to communicate, using different languages like you say. Deaf people's world is circumscribed; they have sign language, writing, lipreading [one of the worse communication methods] and captions. That's it. Every new person learning sign, is someone they likely wouldn't know otherwise or at best smile at. That's how their world expands. The only point I thought I was making is why not do a survey of *all *caption users? If you folks can create SDH, then that had to rely on some kind of research I would hope. I didn't invent any of this, but I learned to sign, translate to/from French as well as create captions and subtitles with the tools you folks invented. I'm not a tech, but a user. I just want to keep deaf/hh on the same playing field we all enjoy. ... View more

Neil "That was what ... 50 years ago now?" Deaf people have been around ever since people existed. Not sure your point. However they are the single group who cannot intuit or parse spoken language. We can listen to French, Spanish, etc and understand a certain amount.  But I keep feeling this pushback as if deaf people aren't that important anymore which is the ultimate irony about captions. I simply asked if anyone surveyed ALL those who use captions to see what people want to see, not what we want to enforce on them. The pushback tells me I'm wasting my time even asking the question.       ... View more

Neil I've been involved since captions started. Many deaf still have problems with understanding them. It's hardly a side issue, since they are your audience. Ignore me if I bore you. ... View more

Neil This is where it takes me when I reply to you. If it's going to the wrong group or no group, excuse my unfamiliarity with posting here. Please tell me how to correct it. My basic point is captioning is a service. It makes sense to poll those using the service to see what they like/don't like and need. I'm a user, not developer. I caption programs.  However I'm not deaf, hard of hearing or rely on captions for my own use. Subtitles are a whole other kettle of fish IMO since they involve going from one language to another, rather than one form of a language to a different form of the same language.  I think developers would benefit from the feedback of many actual users.  You can contact the NAD [National Association of the Deaf], Gallaudet University and CSUN [Cal State University Northridge] Center on Deafness. These are the premiere organizations that I think would be happy to provide useful info. ... View more

I'm not missing that there are various audiences who use captions. However Captions were actually invented for the deaf. They have expanded use over the years, but the audience who needs them all the time are deaf viewers. If not for their enthusiastic use, back when caption decoders cost $800, they wouldn't be ubiqutous now. I ask why don't we do a survery of ALL caption users and see what THEY would like, rather than tell them what they need.  ... View more

Hi Jarle Besides my decades as an editor, I was also a sign language interpreter for the deaf. I learned a lot about what it means to present content to them. Unfortunately what I'm seeing yet again is hearing people making decisions about what is best for the deaf/hh. I asked what if any polling has been done of those people, not what you think is best for them. I don't claim to know either. But we need to ask the intended audience what they prefer. ... View more

Jarle Has anyone done a survey of the target audience?  Those are the opinions we need. Hard of hearing and deaf people are likely the biggest audience needing captions. I promise you they will have strong feelings about this, but I leave it to them to explain. ... View more

I think deleting the cache folder or preferences solved it. That was couple months ago, but once I did was able to start and run program. Otherwise it would open but kept presenting preferences which no matter the settings would crash once I either reset them or left as is. Thanks! ... View more

Hi Steve Yes, 6 channel BWF. I see them as separate channels in Audition and just need to tweak levels on certain channels. Saving each one separately will be incredibly time-consuming with so many takes. I thought Audition has a way to import all channels together into multichannel session on their own individual tracks so I can do this, then save them all at once either as another 6 channel file or Audition splits them out for me. ...

Chris No, I was trying to rewrap as I thought it would save time and not change anything. TBH I didn't know about smart rendering as it doesn't appear on every codec and is buried in the bottom of the Video tab in AME. I noticed it is checked automatically for some types. But thanks though. I will try to use it in the future. ... View more

Actually Premiere does do rewrap, but not for every codec. After checking my project, it didn't meet the requirements to rewrap, specifically you can't change the audio bit rate, do color correction, effects, etc. ... View more

So if I understand correctly, I can make edits but no efx, color correction or similar changes to rewrap. But why is the audio bit depth changing from 24 to 16? Thanks ... View more
