QTtext WHATS WRONG!?!?!?
hey, im making captions for a movie at work using quiktime's QTtext feature. Everything works except a couple lines. On certain lines, it will display the time code, as if something were wrong...but nothing is. here is a website describing the syntax of the QTtext http://www.webaim.org/howto/caption...ime/quicktime2, maybe having someone else look at it will help me out... TIA

ha ha! i got the pic from one of those joke websites that are goin round. made me laugh so i decided to 'borrow' it

As for your problem... the way i read the tutorial you gotta have your first time index as all zeros.

Quote:
[00:00:00.00]
Dorothy: Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore - The zeros represent the first timecode in your movie. All caption files should start with the zero timecode, even if you don't want anything to display in the captions at the very beginning. Starting with zero allows the captions and the audio/video to be synchronized


does that make sense?

give it a try and see what happens!

ARGH. I just found my problem. I opened it up w/ VI on my linux box and it became clear. There were a bunch of control M's and spaces around the time code. I took them out, and now magically it works! Thanks tho!

-go post in the "rate my avatar" thread!
