Hi, Im trying to make subtitles with my video but its kind of a hassle. I can copy and paste it over and over again but, I was wondering if I could buy a plugin or do some technique that will make it easier to insert my subtitles.
Thanks. From what I've seen you need an srt file in order to create the subtiles...not sure what that is tho.
No problem if you have the subtitles in any format. Subtitle edit can load anything AFAIK and can save to anything it supports. So if you need .srt, but have .ass format, just load in SE, and save it to the other format. May be change character encoding if you subtitles are from other platform, I got that time as UTF8 and had to change it to Windows1250 if I remember correctly...
Vegasaur Text Generation Wizard It has everything you need and more.
Excalibur can create the text but it will pull the text from regions on the timeline. It does not import from an external file.
Thanks everyone. Im not sure how to make an srt file in general but I'll figure it out.
Or if it's easyer (if you have the text written somewhere) you can also trick it into a plain text, then import to SubtitleEdit.
The rest is the same as above 😉
Can this method create subtitles with other fonts and a black bar/frame? Can it handle the swedish characters å. ä and ö?
Yes, I'm sure it's possible.
I'm hungarian and also used our "special" characters in the past, like é,á,ő,ű ö ü ú ó.
When exporting from subtitle edit choose the right encoding, for my language windows-1250 works.
Regarding how it will look in Vegas, it's a text preset. Vegasaur will create the text event based on that preset you choose, so I think there's virtually no limit using colors, backgrounds, placement etc.
Just experiment with all the tweaks!
