Subtitles and CC are showing in sequence not separate tracks

Post by bobby »

Hi there

I have both closed subtitles to optionally display on screen (SRT) and closed captions (XML). They are the same language.

When I add them both to the DCP, they show in sequence on the same track, rather than on separate tracks - thus elongating the DCP by twice the length.

Can you advise what I might be doing wrong here?

Thanks!
Carsten

You can drag them in parallel in timeline view (or under Timing-> Position), and you also need to assign each it's specific function under Timed Text to OCAP and CCAP.
