hey all you Vegas fans, stand up and clap your hands!
you know, i first chose Vegas because it's got a cool name.
but i digress. i got an edit project that i would like to put a cutlist subtitle track on.
i first saw this done on Adywan's A New Hope edit and thought it was extremely(!) helpful and made watching it more fun. he made such subtle changes, without the track, i'd have never noticed.
now my project isn't quite as daring (nor nearly as impressive :lol: but i still think it would be fun to have a bunch of subtitles someone can turn on to read my cuts and reasons for them (you know, instead of having a cut list print out . . which is what i usually do with other edit artists' work.)
i've searched though the forums and can't find i'm looking for.
the optional subtitle track that can be turned on and off (like every studio dvd has, usually the language track or hard of hearing track, you all know what i mean).
and if someone replies with a link to where this was already discussed, i totally apologize for missing it :oops:.
(i found several topics on subtitles, but not for this and not for Vegas)
cheers everyone. happy editing/shopping/reviewing/watching

I've been wondering the same thing myself. My guess is it's done with authoring software rather than Vegas, but I haven't looked into it yet.

you know, Frink, that makes sense. making the subtitle track in Vegas would "hard code" it (as they say) to the video.
there is a couple posts talking about DVDPro. but i don't think there's any cool guides here stepping it out.
or maybe there is and i'm completely missing it.
so the dvd authoring tools are the way to go for the optional sibtitle track.
