Video Captions: .srt file?

Slide video can have captions, but it looks like they must be manually added row by row.
Does anyone know if video captions can be accessed through an .srt file? That's a standard format for subtitles.
Thanks,
Christine

To my knowledge there is no compatibility with .srt files in Captivate. It allows Closed Captioning subtitles to be added to a slide by inserting Slide Notes, selecting Closed Captioning, and then timing the lines of text in the CC to coincide with the words in the voiceover. I've always found this to work quite well.

Combine video with .srt file

I've downloaded this file from Google Video, got its .srt file too, and need to burn a disk with the two in one. You know, not just burn the .avi/.mpg and the .srt, then ask friends to use VLC or something similar to watch. I need to find a way to 'burn' the .srt subtitles onto the video itself, then make a DVD of the finished product.
I remember someone had suggested once that I use Handbrake to do that, so I got it, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do that. Anybody knows? Or does anyone know of another utility, even iMovie HD 6 itself (although I very much doubt it...) that could do the trick?
Many thanks, people.

I'm not familiar with .srt files, they are mainly .txt files with a very elaborated structure... but "TitleLab" claims to convert .srt files into something, you can use in combo with QTpro... I think, there's a How-To in the download included...
you get it TitleLab download here for free..

Use .srt file for subtitles-less video bought in iTunes store

Context:
- I bought a TV episode on the iTunes store, but unfortunately, unlike most TV shows on the store, it doesn't come with subtitles.
- However, I've found an .srt file with the subtitles for said episode.
Question: how can I get to play the video file with the .srt subtitles file?
What I've tried:
- iTunes doesn't seem to "recognize" the .srt file and display the subtitles it contains
- I can't get VLC to play the video (I gather VLC can't play DRM-protected M4V files)
Any ideas?

I want to add subtitles (srt files) to my movies .... - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3323061
I don't have any iTunes Store movies. Will they play in Quicktime? If they will here is an old post from 2010:
IAddSubs - http://www.btobits.de/btobits/iAddSubs.html - play subtitles file while movie is playing in iTunes
You'll have to rely upon the subtitle being in sync with the particular video you have.

Burn .srt files with movie to disc

(this question is not about QT itself, but maybe I need to use it to achieve what I want)
Hi,
I've got an .avi file and an .srt file. I want to burn this movie with the subtitles to a DVD or VCD or whatever something that can play on a regular DVD player. Because DVD players don't understand .srt files, I need to burn the subtitles into the movie.
I found tutorials on the web, but none was for a Mac.
Thanks!

I'm looking at the same situation, and haven't found an acceptable answer yet. The inelegant workaround I did for the moment was to just play the subtitled file in VLC then hook up my PowerBook's video output to our HD recorder, and burn the DVD from there. Repeat after me: "clumsy!" (:
I've successfully imported the movie file into iMovie, but while adding a subtitle or two is doable with the "Subtitle Multiple" title, manually re-entering the timing for everything is out of the question.
There's an iMovie-related app called Slick Caption, but they don't have a demo version so I haven't tried it.

Is it possible to combine Mp4 with a SRT file using Handbrake in such as way as to be able to view on appletv3?

Hi All,
I have a Mp4 file and a corresponding SRT file that I wish to combine and then wach through AppleTv3. I have handbrake as my tool for preparing video for the appleTV (through Itunes).
I've tried to "add External SRT" but I can't seem to get teh "Burned in" button to accept a click - maybe this is not needed anyway. I don't care if the subtitles are permanently on the screen - it's in danish so I will never watch it without the subtitles on.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Andy

There is a website, whose name escapes me ( I am at work ) which people submit to in a variety of languages and various formats such as Extended Cut, Directors Cut etc so that you have no need to mess about with them, just add them. Also, as I said above, some are just for non-English parts so don't show subtitles if the dialogue is in English.
Edit: found it. I use http://subscene.com/

Subtitle workflow. Is it possible to import srt files into premiere and then export to Encore?

Hi, I'm editing a series of short documentaries that wil be published in DVD with subtitles, and I'm wondering if there's any way to import srt files into Premiere and then export the project to Encore.

You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude. It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips. Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting. Don't select the Transcode option.
Cheers,
Jeff

VLC Player will not Display Subtitles for AVI/SRT Files and Some MKVs

For some reason, I have never been able to play AVI files in VLC with SRT subtitle files. If I drag-and-drop the subtitle onto the video while playing, I see the entry add to the "subtitles" menu in VLC and I can select that but nothing shows up on the video itself. Subtitles seem to work fine in ISO DVD images, DVDs during playback, and an MKV file I acquired from a friend. I recently started using mkvtoolnix to mux MKV files from the pairs of AVI files and SRT files I have but it seems the subtitles never work on those either. On the Windows build of VLC, the subtitles for the exact same files work fine. I have tried changing the line breaks in the SRT files from Windows-style to UNIX-style but it hasn't helped. On Linux, I am using all the newest versions of the software from core/extra/community. Does anyone have any ideas? Is anyone else having this problem?

I hate VLC: here's the vlc haters manifesto!
Gentlemen, I like VLC.
Gentlemen, I like VLC.
Gentlemen, I love VLC!
I like AVI, I like RMVB,
I like 120fps, I like interlacing,
I like rainbowing, I like the dot crawl, I like blocking.
I like the ringing, and I like tinny audio.
On a computer, a DVD player, a PS3, on a Mac, on an Archos.
I truly love each and every kind of artifact man can encode to a file.
I like the broken ASS support when even the simplest of lines fails to render correctly.
When the translator's notes overlaps the main dialogue, it makes my heart dance!
I like when an encode displays like it is corrupted!
It always left a warm feeling in my chest when they would check the CRC, only to find it is correct.
I like it when #darkhold encoders post on AnimeSuki and RAGE about the topic at hand.
I recall how much it moved me, seeing how epic longposts were made, how they would
shun the subject again and again, even though it wouldn't die. And it's painfully exciting
when a leecher posts about how great it is in the same thread.
And how wonderful it is to have 120fps for a show that is a constant 23.976!
And that pitiful resistance, encoding to h264, despite it being harder on the CPU.
I even remember when XviD had a 10:1 leecher ratio!
I like it when the MKV fanboys are thrown into chaos. And when the VFR feature they
are supposed to be promoting is violated repeatedly... oh how very sad it is.
I like it when the detail and sharpness in HD encodes are crushed and obliterated!
And them being filtered, smearing and ghosting and looking worse than a standard DVD.
Gentlemen, what I want is a low bitrate hell.
Gentlemen, my compatriots, leechers, you who abuse my XDCC bots... gentlemen, what
o you desire? Do you also want eyecancer? Is a return to the age of VCDs what you want?
Do you yearn for a VHS encode that stretches the very limits of poor quality, the artifacts
so intense that it makes Stevie Wonder cringe?
Very well then, we shall have VLC.
It's funny because it's true
For watching videos that don't have their subtitles burned in to the image I would prefer MPlayer. With a few settings it works really well (or has worked for me, so far.) The only problem with MPlayer is that by default, it uses it's own font for subtitles. This is easily fixed, however. Edit your ~/.mplayer/config as follows:
embeddfonts=yes
ass=yes
This will fix the problems with MKV's atleast. I can test this with SRT / avi combo really soon too. I know this isn't really an fix to the problem at hand, but VLC just isn't too good with softsubs.
embeddedfonts works only for fonts embedded into mkv containers for use with ssa or ass stylized subtitles, I think.
The man page state it's enabled by default if you have a recent fontconfig:
-embeddedfonts (FreeType only)
Enables extraction of Matroska embedded fonts (default: dis‐
abled). These fonts can be used for SSA/ASS subtitle rendering
(-ass option). Font files are created in the ~/.mplayer/fonts
directory.
NOTE: With FontConfig 2.4.2 or newer, embedded fonts are opened
directly from memory, and this option is enabled by default.
ass means mplayer uses libass to render ssa and ass subtitles; srt subtitles aren't affected by this option.
I agree with you though that where windows has CCCP, linux and mac have mplayer

How do I import video and sound files from a hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

I just installed the lastest upgrade to Final Cut Pro X. I have an external hard drive connected to my computer and I want to import video and sound files into Final Cut Pro X- how do I make the transfer?

File>Import Files (Shift-Cmd-I). Select the files, fill out the dialog box that appears as you need.

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Cutting and saving individual video and audio files from a clip

I have to cut 201 individual video and audio files for separate scenes from an 11-minute animated episode and save them as separate MP4 video and MP3 audio files. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Without knowing more about your project, it's hard to even guess at the most efficient workflow.
Like: Do these clips have audio or are you adding it? What format are these clips? What is the intended delivery for the 11 minute movie?
As a general matter, one creates an event, imports clips to it. Then organizes the clips according to the needs of job, using keyword collections and ratings. Then creates a project and starts a rough cut by marking ranges in the event browser and editing to the time line. Some people start with the music, making that the primary storyline mark where they want the edit to be and cut to that.
Upon finishing, one can choose one or more of the "destination" presets. It's possible to export Audio only or Video only or both. MP3 is one of the audio choices. Some of the presets are MP4. If you want possibly better quality and more control, export the files as master files and encode in Compressor.
Good luck.

Video playback in Oracle 10g , Video JavaBean or playing video from a file

Hi, I am making an online encyclopaedia using Oracle Forms 10g and was wondering whether it is possible to have video playback from files on my computer or on a database.
Is there a way of linking forms at runtime to the file on my harddrive and playing via windows media player?
Or can anyone suggest anything similar such as video javabeans etc.
I am using Windows XP not NT/2000 so intermedia is not an option.
Thanks

Hello there,
In Forms 6, one could use an OLE container which could be populated with an actual Windows Media Player object for video playback. Unfortunately being on 10g means the OLE objects are gone too... the best bet is to find a bean or pluggable java component that minics the functionality. There must be one on the web somewhere if you do a bit of searching!
