GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 736225
Import SRT subtitles on the timeline
Last modified: 2014-10-11 19:27:17 UTC
Please add this feature. And also in subsequent export to SRT. I do a lot of synchronization SRT subtitles under video (cutting, shift parts). Or dubbing films by SRT subtitles (rarely). The problem is that almost none of the videoeditors can't import SRT on the timeline (and especially export to SRT). I found only one suitable program - Camtasia for Windows. But Camtasia is very slow. Screen in an attachment.

If you're looking to hardcode/burn subtitles in the picture, that's bug #569818. If you're looking to readjust srt files and such, this is out of Pitivi's scope, that's a job for specialized tools like gnome-subtitles or subtitle-editor or whatever your Linux distro offers. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 569818 ***
> If you're looking to hardcode/burn subtitles in the picture No. I want that subtitles are the same editable tracks as video and audio. > If you're looking to readjust srt files and such Probably subtitle editor really would be better preferred to synchronize subtitles. But there is another examples of using subtitles in video editor: 1) Dubbing films by subtitles (Amateur actors dubbing experiencing an acute shortage of support SRT. They have to make hardsub. 2) Editing video, audio, subtitles (eg make cuts favorite movie or TV series with multiple audio tracks and subtitles). MKVToolnix able to do it, but there is no preview and cutting only by keyframe. This feature request was discussed also here https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=265&t=122747
Actually bug #569818 is about both types of features (hardburned or metadata). But again, it will not happen without a patch. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 569818 ***
