TXT - Avid subcaps

To export a properly formatted TXT file of subcaps from Avid, you need an Avid DS Capture File.

1. In the sequence, move the position indicator to any subcap and make sure the video track containing the effect is selected.  Tip: If you use subcaps for non-VFX banners or slates, first sub-sequence the track that only contains shot ids.
2. Open the Effect Editor.
3. In the Caption Files parameter, click the Export Caption Data... checkbox.
4. Double-check that the file format setting at the bottom is Avid DS Caption File (not EBU N19 Caption File).
5. Navigate to your save location and click Save.  Tip: Include "subcaps" in the name of the file to differentiate it from the TXT clips file.
