Document HRFF: Digital Desperados - Subtitling for Filmmakers and Curators

The women behind Glasgow's GLITCH Festival have come to Document to facilitate a hands-on workshop for independent filmmakers.

Subtitling is an invaluable skill when making your film accessible. Digital Desperados will introduce the participants to the technical aspects of subtitling and demonstrate two simple methods of subtitling films - from within the timeline; and using a film that has been already compressed by a filmmaker and sent to be screened. The workshop will also cover importing and exporting films with the relevant codecs.

Technical level: Good working knowledge of Final Cut Pro/Express. Please note, this workshop will not cover FCP X.

Requirements: Mac laptop with Final Cut Pro installed and suitable headphones.
Please also install Mpeg Streamclip - available free online - in time for the workshop.
Please also ensure that your laptop has 100GB, or more, free memory.
No PCs / Premiere Pro - sorry!

Pre-booking required. If cancelling, please inform us a minimum of 4 days before the workshop as places are very limited.
