What are some of the best ways to do Karaoke video?

I was asked to do a Karaoke video. What are some the methods or tricks and tips on how to accomplish this under MC? Are there some other plugins or software out there that would do this easily?

If you missed our mail last month you should check it out as it got a lot of people talking. Today we have a follow-up.
Our web site has relaunched* and while the overall look of the site is similar there is a dramatic difference in how we are distributing our plug-ins.

Starting today Pro Import AE, Pro Import FCP and Pro Export FCP (both versions, for FCP7 and FCPX) are available at no charge. You read this right. Free.  We are unable to provide support at the same level as we have over the years, but we didn't want these plug-ins to go away while they remain useful. So if you can make use of these plug-ins in your projects, enjoy!

Thank you to all of our users, working with you for the last 10 1/2 years was a truly wonderful experience.

Controlling the subtitles with AVID DVD

Controlling the subtitles with AVID DVD

Hi all,

Normally in a DVDs from the shop, if you choose a subtitle option it holds whether you select play movie or go to scene selection.  Does anyone know how to do that?

At the moment I have only managed the following: When you select a subtitle option, the film immediately begins (I have created a playlists with / without the subtitles) but if someone wanted to pick a particular chapter with subtitles, they would have to pick their chapter from the scene selection menu and then cycle through the caption options using their remote (or using right click in something like VLC media player) as the film plays.

Any solution will be very helpful (even if it means using different software)

 THANK YOU!!!!!
