How to convert Pix (Comments) into Avid Media Composer subtitles?

Guide

1. Export a CSV marker file from Pix

Open the comments panel on the right side in Pix. Press the three dots and select "Export". Now you can then download the CSV file from Pix.

ℹ️ The timecode in Pix starts with 00:00:00:00 for each clip, so you may need to use the offset function on EditingTools.io to sync it with you timeline or move it manually in your NLE (editing software).

2. Use the "Marker Converter" to convert the CSV marker file into a SRT subtitle file

Open the free Marker Converter, select "Pix Systems > Comments (.csv)" and set "convert" to "SRT". Generate and download the file. If you have problems converting the file, you can contact the free support.

3. Use the "Subtitle Tool & Converter" to convert the SRT subtitle file into an Avid DS (Subcap) subtitle file

Open the free Subtitle Tool & Converter, select "SRT" and set "convert" to "Avid DS (Subcap)". Generate and download the file. If you have problems converting the file, you can contact the free support.

4. Import the Avid DS (Subcap) subtitle file in Avid Media Composer

Open your video in Avid Media Composer and go to "Tools > Effect Palette > Generator > SubCap". Drag SubCap onto the video track in your timeline. Go to "Tools > Effect Editor > Caption Files > Import Caption Data" and select the SubCap file from your computer.
