I am tag-teaming with Erik Droll to hopefully initiate a discussion regarding Davinci Resolve moving towards integrating BOTH 608 and 708 captions.
I edit, grade, and export many broadcast spot masters (XDCAM HD 422) in DR but don't know of a workflow to embed both types of captions. Even with a second pass, it isn't possible.
I deliver hundreds of masters each year and I have zero need for 608 only captions. ALL of my deliveries require BOTH 608 and 708 captions embedded in preferably the XDCAM HD 422 codec.
Is there anyone out there who is able to use DR for professional delivery of closed captions in its current configurations?
The fact that 708 captions aren't supported (according to the manual page 983) is a head-scratcher for me because ALL of my clients require 708 at a minimum. None require only 608 captions which are considered to be an outdated method of captioning now.
Does BMD have the option of embedding both 608 and 708 captions in the near-term planning? DR19 for example?
Thank you!
