Update - Andrea found that there is a subtitles ffmpeg filter that provides this capability. Maybe this could be made to work. |

@Andrea_Paz Your english is just fine! The title description conveys a slightly different request than the wording. So "look into adding .srt format subtitles loading" -- denotes the ability to actually "load" a subtitle file, x.srt. We can sort of do that, but I assume that the request is to load it and get it automatically on a subtitle track in the timeline. We also have yet to find a way to actually show the lines in the Compositor or something as RafaMar suggested. So I would like to keep this open. |

@PhyllisSmith Sorry about my bad English. I meant that the issue (for me) is resolved because the format option srt (and sub) has been introduced in the subtitle tool. |

@Andrea_Paz I agree and had planned to have GG look at this this month BUT now he is working on the Speed auto so do not know if that will happen. I already mentioned it to him last month and he thinks it can be solved too. |

I think we can solve this. |

Update so this does not get lost from RafaMar: To convert .udvd to .srt or .ass is as simple as: ffmpeg -i subtitle.udvd subtitle.srt or ffmpeg -i subtitle.udvd subtitle.ass without any problem. my favorite is .ass because you can easily customize how they will look. What I think needs to be improved is the wizard to load or save to navigate to where the file is to load or save... it is a bit tedious to have to enter the path by hand. I know this is a copy and paste of the address, but this for a beginning person is a difficulty. |

Per RafaMar "it is very easy from .udvd to convert it into .srt or .ass with ffmpeg." ..." it would be great a script that would allow you to convert a subtitle track into a track with the effect of titles and these will be seen in the render." Perhaps this could be implemented in a similar manner to RenderMux. |

Actually, Cinelerra 7.1 (from https://sourceforge.net/projects/heroines/files/) has some support for subtitle files in Titler: "11/16 - Cinelerra 6 Updated the h264 decoding. There are no longer picons in the asset window. Motion tracking got major optimizations. Resampling effects got new interfaces. Titler can load subtitle files." - http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php from cinelerra-7.1/plugins/titler/title.C ------------------------------- // this parses a file of the form: // 1 // 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,318 // It's okay, son... // // 2 // 00:01:08,611 --> 00:01:13,491 // I know you want this to be over. // // 3 // 00:01:19,998 --> 00:01:22,125 // I'm right here. // // 4 // 00:01:26,504 --> 00:01:29,173 // I will be right here... void TitleMain::load_subtitle_db() ------------------------------ Also, I'm sort-of surprised Cinelerra-hv 7.1 still uses quicktime + ffmpeg 3.3 combo O.o Also, just from looking into files, there seems to be 4k and 5k _themes_, at least dirs contains a lot of png files .... |

Yes, just compiled Aegisub 3.2.2 - it was a bit surprizing to find it uses https://github.com/FFMS/ffms2 as way to decode video files (can be compiled without, but then opening compressed videos simply doesn't work).. But now it works, it seems. Thanks, Olaf! |

Creating subtitles with Cinelerra would only do for very very short videos, if at all. Not that your request isn't justified, but that what I've seen so far about creating subtitles with CGG doesn't seem to be a piece of cake. At the turn of the millennium there wasn't much free software to do it with, but that has changed. There is a selection of specialized programs, some are included in the distributions. I've opened your sample file in Aegisub (http://www.aegisub.org/), you should do the same and turn on "characters per second". You'll be surprised at the reading speed you demand from your subtitle readers. |

After some more thinking: If .srt file support will go via titler plugin - then may be two new attributes (starttime, duration) can be implemented and used? So, loading .srt file will just populate those. Next, choosing subtitle's codepage can be useful, too - some of them tend to be not in utf8. But this is bonus, text files can be converted via iconv, i think. If support will go via existing subtitle track(s) infrastructure - then, I think, just expanding dialog at section "13.4.3 Subtitles" in manual cold be used? Like, by adding timecodes? There seems to be tutorial about older versions of Cinelerra at http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/subtitles.html#_introduction - but it uses other software (like Avidemux), for adding srt tracks. Also, all subtitle editing done via specialized software. There already was email thread about this problem: https://www.mail-archive.com/cin%40lists.cinelerra-gg.org/msg00324.html --quoting GG----- The easy way for me to do this is to create a simple standalone program that reads the srt subtitle data and an existing cin5 xml session file, which will inject that data into a new subtitle track on the timeline. --------end of quote----- Well, this way will work for me too, but so far this program not materialized yet? |

Actual .srt file to test with. It seems my idea about creating separate titler plugin instances for each little piece of text was wrong - in real use cases it will create 1000+ separate plugin instances, so what about loading .srt file into titler, and change text according to timing from .srt file, relative to plugin's internal timer?
