Subtitler:Import Transscript

The transscript format in the import tool is a convenient way to quickly break a transscription or a translation into titles. The transscription file is expected to be a simple continuous textfile, with one convention: Changes of the speakers are separated by double returns.

The text is broken into the subtitles using the following rules:

  • Each speaker begins a new subtitle.
  • The subtitle is filled up two lines with entire words. The number of character depends on the currently defined style template and the medium length character "n".
  • Avoided are, whenever possible:
    • Titles with only one or two words.
    • Only one or two words at the end of a title after a punctuation

The titles are all one liners, to be broken with smart wrap.

Note: This is a first fast automatic approach. Manual editing by a craftsperson is certainly needed.
