Re: [FCP-L] OT Compressor Strip CC

When you say "strip", do you mean "remove"?

Is this an SD or HD program?

When I have had to re-edit closed captioned SD programs but maintain the
closed captioning, I found that if I overlay the original video with a
bottom crop of 99.5 (which I believe is in %), it will allow me to preserve
the captioning. The inverse of that would be a top crop of .5 (1/2 of 1%),
if I wanted to remove it.

Consequently, I'm thinking that, you could crop the top 2 or 3 lines of
video in Compressor in order to delete the captioning. Of course you are
then left with a non-standard size frame. I wouldn't resize to full height
because you will create all sort of unnecessary artifacts. Of course, if you
are starting with 486 lines, you could crop 4 lines off of the top and 2
lines off of the bottom, creating a standard 720 x 480 frame. And by
eliminating even numbers of lines at the top and the bottom, you won't be
changing the field order.
