I'm trying to upload a film to Vimeo on Demand, using compressor.
I want to burn in the French subtitles (ITT format) and I want the best quality picture.
Are these the best settings for a good picture?
And I can't see how to burn in the French subtitles. They should show on the screen preview?
Any help and advice very welcome!
Thanks,

The docs say to click this to preview the captions.
When you say "burn in," do you mean you want open captions that are burned into the video and always visible?
Here's caption info from the docs. Import and preview captions in Compressor - Apple Support
I think Spherico is correct, Compressor can do Closed Captions but not flattened, burned in captions. If you want 5 instances of your video, each with a different language caption burned in, you'd need to build them and export them that way from FCP. I've used Spherico's X-Title Extractor to create transcriptions titles over interviews and it worked very well with customizable title text.
I'm not sure how to do that?
The French role is highlighted in FCPX.
(I have a film that is dual language, English and Russian. I want to have various language versions of the film, with subtitles in different languages that are all burnt in so I have five versions of the film. I believe this would make it easier for people that may not be very 'IT savvy' to download the film in their own language, without having to go to settings)
Thanks Tom.
I've suddenly got very tired, so I'll check this out tomorrow.
I have uploaded some version of the film onto Vimeo on Demand, which show the burnt-in subtitles.
I just have to investigate how I managed this!
"The docs say to click this to preview the captions"
Oh yes, I see. Do you think this means the subtitles will be burnt in (visible on the film)
It doesn't look as if the setting has been applied to the job. Try putting it on and check the inspector.
Hi Terry - yes, I want burnt-in captions that are always visible.
This is to make it as easy as possible for French speakers to download the video, without having to negotiate buttons and settings.
Drag the setting from the left onto the job in the middle.
As far as I remember Compressor only handles Closed Captions means not burnt in.
You could try my X-Title Extractor to convert your ITT to Motion Titles.
