Georgian · Captions

Add Georgian captions you can still edit

You want Georgian captions that look designed, and you want to keep adjusting them in your editor. Eddie builds them from the word timings and carries them into each editor in the form that editor can change.

Step by step

  1. Step 01

    Bring your Georgian interviews in

    You ask
    Upload the interviews, or add them from Frame.io, Dropbox, Google Drive or your editor's bin.
    Eddie does
    Eddie imports the interviews and any b-roll, from the browser or from the desktop app, which also reads bins in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro. It analyses every file before you can prompt, so no edit is built on half the footage.
    You get
    One project with every source, analysed and searchable.
    Step 1: dropping interview and b-roll files into Eddie, with cloud sources listed, with a Georgian sample line in the transcript slot
  2. Step 02

    Transcribe the Georgian

    Eddie does
    Eddie detects Georgian on its own, so you do not have to choose it. If an interview switches between languages, Eddie detects that too. It labels the speakers and keeps a timing for every word.
    You get
    A Georgian transcript in Georgian script that you can search and cut from. Ask Eddie to fix a misheard name everywhere it appears, or to rename “Speaker 1”, and every word keeps its timing.
    Step 2: a transcript with speaker labels, timecodes and a search panel, language detected automatically, with a Georgian sample line in the transcript slot
  3. Step 03

    Ask Eddie for the cut

    You ask
    “Cut a three-minute story about how the company started, and open on the strongest line.”
    Eddie does
    Eddie reads the Georgian transcript, picks the soundbites that answer your brief, proposes a story structure and builds the edit beat by beat. It tells you the finished length against your target. You can prompt in English about footage in any language.
    You get
    A rough cut you can watch, trim, reorder and refine in plain words.
    Step 3: a prompt asking Eddie for a three-minute story, Eddie's reply and the resulting timeline, with a Georgian sample line in the transcript slot
  4. Step 04

    Add Georgian captions

    You ask
    “Add documentary captions, two lines at the bottom.”
    Eddie does
    Eddie builds the captions from the Georgian word timings, in one of five looks: social, documentary, minimal, punch or editorial. Filler words are left out of the caption text by default. Captions are the spoken words, never a translation.
    You get
    Captions in the player, ready to burn into an MP4 or carry into your editor, plus free SRT and VTT files. Georgian captions burn into the cloud MP4 export, which shapes Georgian text correctly. A desktop build that cannot draw the script yet refuses its local render and points you to the cloud export.
    Step 5: a video frame with a caption band and the five caption looks, with a Georgian sample line in the transcript slot
  5. Step 05

    Carry the captions into your editor

    You ask
    “Export this edit for Final Cut Pro.”
    Eddie does
    Premiere: A Premiere project (.prproj) carries the captions on a caption track, in the caption font, size, position and colours. Premiere XML carries none, so add the free SRT file instead. Resolve: A Resolve project (.drp) puts the captions on a subtitle track. A Resolve FCPXML carries each caption card as its own title, with the caption font, size, colour and position. Final Cut: The FCPXML carries each caption card as its own connected Basic Title, with the caption font, size, colour and position, so you can restyle any card. The editing Mac needs the caption font installed. Media Composer: Captions do not travel inside the AAF. Download the SRT or VTT file for the caption step in Media Composer.
    You get
    Georgian captions as editable items in your editor, or a sidecar file where a format has none.
    Step 5: an editor timeline with a caption track beside the export menu, with a Georgian sample line in the transcript slot

Good to know for Georgian

The script

Georgian is written in Georgian script. In an editor file, the caption cards arrive as Georgian text, and your editor draws them with its own text engine and your installed fonts. Before you deliver, check one card for the font and the joined letters.

Speaker colours

Give each speaker a caption colour. It shows in the player and the MP4, and an FCPXML carries it on each caption title.

On-screen titles

Eddie's own titles and motion graphics do not render Georgian text correctly yet. Captions are not affected. Set on-screen titles in your editor instead.

Finish Georgian edits in your editor

Questions

Which caption looks are there?
Five: social, documentary, minimal, punch and editorial. Each one can be adjusted for words per card, style, colours, size and position, and changing the look is free.
Will the word highlight survive in my editor?
No. Editor files carry the text, timing, font, size, colour and position. The word highlight, the background band and the entrance motion stay in Eddie's player and MP4.
Do I have to tell Eddie the interview is in Georgian?
Eddie detects Georgian on its own, so you do not have to choose it. If an interview switches between languages, Eddie detects that too.
Can Eddie translate Georgian captions into another language?
No. Captions are always the spoken words, verbatim. Translating what the edit says is dubbing, which is a separate feature.
Can Eddie add on-screen titles in Georgian?
Eddie's own titles and motion graphics do not render Georgian text correctly yet. Captions are not affected. Set on-screen titles in your editor instead.
Can Eddie make an audio-described version in Georgian?
Not yet. Eddie's audio description is built and measured for English speech, so it is offered for English programmes only.
