Several subtitle files within a project, several videos to be attached

You can easily attach different videos to each document in your project by following these steps:

  1. Open Documents
    Go to the ‘2. Documents' project tab and click 'View Segments’ for any of the files. This will open the Project Memory.

  2. Load Documents in the Editor
    In the Editor, select the ‘All Files’ option at the top to load all the documents.

  3. Attach Videos
    Click the video icon in the header of each file to attach the video.

Setup your video in a job about subtitling

Learn how to reproduce a video and preview the subtitles of your job on it.

Load your video

You will need first to introduce the URL of your video or upload a file from your computer. 

Click on the video icon next to the job name on the top of the screen. 

 

 

Video Settings

Once the video is loaded, you can setup the general preferences of your video player: 

 

 

 

 

Offset

Adjust the subtitle delay between the original timestamp and the video (only added during preview). Learn more about keeping these changes in the Preview and work section below.

Pre/post roll

Add some delay before and after the original timestamp to preview the subtitle (only added during preview)

Display text

Source and target texts can be displayed together or individually. Target text comes from the active cell.

After sequence played

Pause video, loop playback or Go to the next segment.

Autoplay

Video playback will start when entering a cell.

 

 

Video controls

  • Play/pause the video, like in any other video player.

  • Volume control

  • Check the original timestamp, available not only in the player but also as reference information in the grid space under the properties widget or the dedicated column

 

Preview and work

As seen above, you can decide to pause the video manually or pause it after each segment. Note that segments that contain siblings will all be reproduced in the same sequence since they all share the same timestamp.
