![]() It's as if Resolve and Amazon are assuming the file is 24, and then treating it as such, against a 23.976 fps video. It's only when you import it into Resolve or upload to Amazon that it's suddenly drifting. If you pick any subtitle out of the file, and then go to that its in point, in either the Quicktime file or the Resolve timeline, it matches up perfectly with the dialog. Nobody who makes this software seems to have their head wrapped around how these frame rates work.Ĭlick to expand.But that's my point - the file already *is* 23.976, and the subtitles do line up if you do it manually. Why is this so hard with subtitles? They've been the bane of my existence for the past 20 years. Has anyone else ever seen this, and is there a way to make Resolve do this correctly? My hunch is that both BMD and Amazon are maybe using the same open source code for SRT handling, which isn't doing something correct (just a guess on my part but I've seen it happen before with other applications). Amazon, maybe (there's a pulldown where you specify the frame rate, but they stupidly offer both 23.976 and 23.976 - which makes no sense because it's always non-drop). There doesn't appear to be any way to fix this in resolve. The drift factor over the length of this 78 minute film is consistent with the difference between 23.976 and 24fps - as if Resolve and Amazon are handling the subtitles as 24fps, but the timecode is 23.976. That is, the SRT file has the subtitle beginning at 01:18:02,375 but in the Resolve timeline (and on Amazon), the subtitle appears at 01:17:57:18. But when I import the SRT file into Resolve, the final subtitle is a bit more than 4 seconds ahead of that timecode. ![]() When I look at the SRT file, the start timecode of the final subtitle is exactly where it's supposed to be in the film. The subtitles provided to us by the subtitle service are in sync on their end. Amazon is rejecting the subtitles, saying they drift out of sync. This time we're trying a different format - SRT - which is one we don't normally use. We are seeing yet another issue with Amazon rejecting subtitles on a client's film.
