Question

How do I produce SRT files for DVD Studio

I am using the Beta Speech to Tect  / Subtitles in Adobe Premier V15. 

 

How do I export .srt files ?  Everytime I try to do that, DVD Studio DVD - says the file is not supported.

 

I work for a publishing house that still uses DVD Studio Pro for DVD distribution. 

We are needing to save the company and use Adobe's speech to text feature for subtitles / closed captioning.

Have you tried importing .scc formats for DVD Studio Pro.  Once you transcribe your captions in Premiere and go to the export menu, you can choose create side car file, then choose .scc file format. Import the exported .scc file into DVD Studio Pro.

 

 

Your exported SRT files probably have formating changes that an old program like DVD Studio Pro do not under stand.  Search google for making change to SRT file errors and you'll come up with some options you might be able edit the SRT file to work in DVDSP.

Thanks Andy. When I uses the beta version of Adobe,  after I create the "transcript" then I creat Captions from that Transcript, it gives me format options like 608,708, subtitle, teletext and so on.  Do you know which I should choose?

Try CEA-608 first. Experiment to see what works with DVDSP. You can duplicate your sequence and generate different caption types from that menu and make test exports to see what works in DVDSP.
