Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default Sub Titles

Anyone got any experience of using subtitles in Vegas before I ramble on about my problem?

Ramble away.

All you need do I would have thought is to bung the text in the text gen on a different track...

Ok
I've downloaded Vasst's 'sub text' plugin and it all works well. I can see the text above the timeline in Vegas between markers (inserted from a notepad as .txt file) . I can slide the markers to match the text to the video but I cant preview it anywhere. Do I have to render it out to architect before I can set stuff like font colour, font size and general readabilty against the video background?

Sony's DVD Architect will do subtitling and I used it in the middle of last year and found it to be surprisingly easy. If Vegas had a similar too it wou;d be great. As its only in Architect it makes it exclusivley for DVD use but it also means that you can have multiple languege's in subtitles.

The process is very simple. I had to type all the subs into a txt document with line spaces between each body of text then when i imported trhat into architect it evenly space out the subs on the timeline in Architect. Then it was a case of moving the blocks to match the audio but as i had created markers for each audio piece it made it easier.

This is similar with Adobe Encore 2.0. Do all the subtitles as a .txt file in notepad, each line beginning with the start/end times, and insert it under the main audio track. Text appears according to the times entered.

Thanks for that Irishmark. I was trying to do it in Vegas. It looks like its got even easier in Architect 4. No need for writing it into text document.Insert Sub Title Track>Insert Sub Title Text Event>Right Click Text Event>Edit Text in preview window
