I just figured out how to make subtitles work in TDM (srt) for ingame cutscenes and how to automatically generate the srt file in Kdenlive's speech recognition (I just had to edit it a bit).

Kdenlive is a free and open source multiplatform pretty advanced video editor.

Test case is the first builder gost scene in Requiem saying:

1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:02,140
the builder be with you this night

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840
there will be secrets all around you

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,439
so have a keen eye

The following page gives you the basic info:

These 2 tutorials give you the info for creating the srt files:

If you run into the problem the Kdenlive cannot find your Python PATH, then here is a solution:

Edit: During the installation of Python, in the installer, if you select more options, you can specify to set the PATH. I tried this on another Windows computer and this fixed the issue. Much easier solution.

This is all the code for the testcase:

// Requiem subtitles

subtitles fm_root {
    verbosity story
    srt "sound/voices/Hanno1.ogg" "subtitles/hanno1.srt"
}

1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:02,140
the builder be with you this night

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840
there will be secrets all around you

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,439
so have a keen eye

Maybe I will create a seperate (text,images based) tutorial on the wiki.
