TitleExchange Pro is a unique tool which makes complicated things both simple and fast when juggling with subtitles in collaborative environments.

As it started as a basic tool for Apple’s Final Cut Pro about 10 years ago it is probably one of the most advanced tools available for the Apple Final Cut Pro (legacy) platform to interchange subtitle information. Using it with Apple's legacy Final Cut Pro could make this NLE the most flexible editing out dated software package in the world when it comes to subtitles.

But times change. TitleExchange Pro now does support a lot of other NLEs, authoring applications and “playback” platforms.

While Apple's Final Cut Pro X is at the very beginning there are some limited options using XML and Motion templates.

Other NLEs like Avid’s Media Composer allow a nice handling of subtitles as well, using TitleExchange will make the build in options of Media Composer even more flexible.

With Adobe’s Premiere Pro you can create titles or subtitles, but it lacks the option to interchange or even import text based subtitles. Using the CS Suite, which includes PhotoShop there is a workaround with TitleExchange. The application collection which comes with TitleExchange contains an application (psTitles) which uses PhotoShop scripting to render “Layered TIFFs”. The result is a collection of titles and an EDL, Encore Script and STL. The EDL can be used to import these high quality subtitles into PremierePro. Because of the close integration of all the CS applications the subtitles are editable during the whole editing process.

These rendered files also can be used with Avid Media Composer, Apple’s Final Cut Pro, Adobe’s Encore, Apple’s DVD Studio and a lot of other
NLEs which will allow EDL import.
The psTitles application also allows to extract the text out of the PhotoShop layered TIFF files for any usage which won’t support rendered subtitles.

But it’s not all about NLEs or authoring apps, a lot of the workflow with subtitles just requires to work collaborative with others who might work with their own subtitling application or just with a text editor to make a translation, correction or whatever. To make this workflow and communication easier TitleExchange offers an impressive amount of file formats for import and export - and some helper tools to bring simple text files into a format which can be used in a subtitling workflow.

So if you ever wished to get your titles out of Final Cut Pro (legacy or X), Media Composer or PremierePro into Apple’s DVD Studio Pro or Adobe’s Encore or other DVD or BluRay authoring applications or as a text file for a translation bureau, as a text file for spell and grammar checking, get titles into Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro X from another source or a file from the translation bureau, create a QT movie with all your subtitles without the need of rendering, get your subtitles ready for DCP projection, add captions to iTunes, add captions to your YouTube videos or just "equalize" your titles -- TitleExchange will be your "one stop" toolset.

 

TitleExchange did help hundreds of companies (from big ones "down" to all the indies) to create and manage subtitles for thousands of movies in a shorter time than ever before -- saving both costs and "personal abrasion".

Over the last 10 years TitleExchange Pro became more "adult" and a bit more complicated -- the result of thousands of hours of development and testing. All the loyal customers helped to make TitleExchange better and better by providing extensive beta testing and valuable feedback, and I sincerely appreciate this support.
But as with any other software there are happy and unhappy users — thanks to both of these.
