Sublime is a program to edit, spot, and render subtitles for DVD authoring, mainly for Apple's great authoring suite DVD Studio Pro. You can directly use QuickTime movies and even compressed MPEG2 videos with speed and accuracy you've never archived before.

Sublime Features:

• Seamlessly integrates into DVD-Studio Pro
  DVD Studio Pro is a great authoring application but only offers rudimental subtitling features. Sublime perfectly supplements and integrates with DVD Studio Pro, filling the gap that DVD Studio Pro leaves in this area. Supporting PAL and NTSC videos, Sublime offers composing and export of graphic and text subtitle files. Using Sublimes bitmap renderer, you will never have kerning problems again and can even use antialiased fonts and other highly customizable text styles.
• Realtime Transcription and Spotting
  One of the biggest advantages of Sublime is its user-interface: With its intuitive arranger, you can see video and audio and edit subtitles all in one view and workflow. Subtitles can be easily put to their place via drag and drop or keyboard shortcuts, if you prefer working with them. With the subtitle list editor you always have an overview about all your titles. Transcription and spotting has never been easier and faster!
• Text Style Grouping
  The styles feature in Sublime is a powerful way to quickly group the appearance of multiple subtitles for actors, lyrics, off voices, and so on: You can e.g. assign every speaker a different font and color or set the text italic or bold. Later on you can change these settings for all the subtitles in one style with a single click. Even the alignment of the subtitle text can be stored in a style, so that you can move subtitles from the bottom of the screen to the top if they would cover text that is printed in the video.
• High quality video export
  With Sublimes video export feature you can render your Sublime project as a Quicktime movie. This movie can be played back on any computer that has Quicktime installed (Sublime is not required for playback). This way you can create presentations of your work, or create high quality subtitled movies without having to author/render them in DVD Studio Pro. Further, the video export allows to render movie files which only contain a video subtitle track. This video can then be imported into e.g. Final Cut Pro, to create and edit subtitled movies.
• Preview Video and Titles in Realtime
  The video preview window gives you the opportunity to view your subtitles as they will look on television later, using different aspect ratios and resolutions. If you have got a dual monitor configuration, you have the possibility to preview the video with the overlaid subtitles full-screen on the second monitor.
• Advanced Editing
  Tape-offsets, auto line wrapping and splitting, merge, duplicate, find and replace, time shifting and more.
• Error Detection
  While creating or editing your subtitles, Sublime can warn you about common subtitling mistakes like overlapping titles, too large texts, too many rows, and so on...

• New "Translation mode":
  You can now edit/compare and create multi-language versions of your subtitles directly in Sublime. By "cloning" the initial language, translators can now compare the new language with the translation without having to leave Sublime, and can now also do timing corrections for each translation uniquely on the fly. Every new language can also have its own audio file (if necessary) in the project.Added support for the standard High Definition Video resolutions.
  You can now select HD 720p and HD 1080p/i in Sublimes "Options"->"Video Format" settings. This will scale the loaded video to the selected resolution, or the other way around: Loading HD videos should automatically select the HD resolutions in Sublime. Please note that you can not use the HD mode for DVD Studio Pro. DVD Studio Pro is not capable of creating "real" HD DVDs/Blu-rays, so this feature is only useful for those who would like to create a subtitled Quicktime Movie or a subtitle Track for Final Cut Pro.
• global OSX shortcuts (like Command + Space to switch the keyboard input language) will now work when editing text in Sublime. This will make it easier for translators to for example switch between English and Japanese.
• added shortcuts to set a specific style for the currently selected subtitle: Command + 1 - Command + 9
  Those who would like to quickly apply new Subtitle styles, can now do so without having to touch the mouse. These shortcuts can be customized (as all other shortcuts in Sublime) in Sublimes "Keys" Preference Pane.
• Better compatibility with with installed OSX fonts:
  Sublime did support so far many of your installed OSX fonts, but some of them might be displayed wrong (you got a bold font instead of an italic font). This should be fixed now. Also Sublime will no longer show unsupported old OS9 Font Suitcase formats, so everything you see and select in Sublimes Font chooser should perfectly work now.

Breaking News! Stop the Presses!!! OMGWTF!!!!

The AAA has breathlessly announced that it is going open access!! American Anthropology and Anthropology News will now be Open Access. (um, but just those issues between 1888 and 1973).

So, this is great, really, despite my snarkiness. The AAA has realized that opening up 35 year old scholarship is not a threat to their publishing revenue, and it may well improve public understanding of anthropology. This is a huge step forward.

However, two things, 1) isn’t this already the case? Where are we with this decision, given that the AAA seems already to have said that re-publishing content prior to 1964 is not necessarily improper? What am I missing? and 2) It sucks that this is being called “open access”—- it is not, not by any contemporary definition of the term. I think it is quite appropriate that the press release says “AAA creates ‘open access’ to anthropological research”—I’m not sure whether that’s an appropriate use of quotation marks, grammatically speaking, but it should make readers double take as to whether or not this is really open access or not.

“Pointed answer”? Whatever. I hope it is the first of many steps that will start to come a little more rapidly, I sincerely do. I realize it’s almost predictable, for AAA executives, that I and others might react this way, but make no mistake: what is happening here is a dissolution of the term open access and a pretty shameless use of this opportunity to issue a press release that might repair some of the damage the association has suffered on this issue. Fair enough, they are trying. Try harder, I say.

If you think it is interesting and may be something you'd attend at SXSW, I'd be pleased if you'd add a comment to the proposal.

Here is a list of other SXSW panel proposals that are somewhat related to either music discovery or recommendation. It looks to me like the most closely related panel is Music 2.0 = Music Discovery Chaos?. This one does look interesting and I'd love to attend it, although I don't think it is going to be too research-oriented.

• I'm so sad, my iPod thinks I'm Emo. - Music recommendation is broken - automatic music recommenders make mistakes that no human would ever make. In this talk, we will explore why recommenders make such dumb mistakes and we will explore some of the new ideas coming from recommendation and music researchers to help make music recommendations better.
• Keeping it Human in the Age of Big Data"The selection and placement of stories on this page were determined automatically by a computer program." - http://news.google.com Or was it? At Last.fm we've grappled with how to present and filter our user-generated music data, but also how to mix in true editorial content. Humanizing core features was much of the impetus for the recent re-launch.
• Music 2.0 = Music Discovery Chaos?The way we discover music has entirely changed in less than 10 years. Radio’s aging demo is presented with safe mainstream offerings. Music discovery is at the forefront of technology and social networks, yet no new standard has successfully been adopted. Websites abound attempt at both data and user generated rating/filter systems. Human VS algorithm: what method can save us?
• Neither Fish Nor Flesh: Music Discovery Going Semantic - Current music discovery techniques rely on human annotation and human behaviour to generate recommendations. We review current recommendation methods and take a in-depth look at new semantic recommendation methods, and discuss how both worlds can be combined to deliver an ultimately better music discovery experience.
• “Just For You”... Really? - Personalization technologies are all over the web now, with applications everywhere offering recommendations for movies, music, video, blogs and most anything else we might like online. Do any of these systems work, and if so how? Is “Discovery” the next “Search,” or just an excuse for behavioral targeting systems that compromise privacy? Finally... If you’re a site publisher interested in adding personalized recommendations, how do you pick a partner to help you get there, or strike out on your own and get the feature built????
• Collaborative Filters: The Evolution of Recommendation Engines - Recommendation engines have boomed in the era of social media. These panelists are experts at collaborative filtering systems. Citing Digg, Amazon, and Netflix as examples, they will have a high level discussion about the evolution of recommendation engines and how each approach is different.
• People Who Purchased This Also Purchased... What?? - Ever wonder how sites determine what music and movies to recommend? Ever received an off-beat recommendation that made you go hmm....? That’s because most sites use collaborative filtering – which determines recommendations based on what other users like. This panel will discuss how these technologies are evolving and the future of recommendations.
• Algorithms, Meta-Data, and Why the Future is Behavioral - Data about data or data with data? Social smarts versus machine smarts? Recommendation engines are finally delivering on helping us filter infinite choices while user generated ratings and reviews can now be found on almost any product or service. Where are these being combined to help users and what's next?
