want to add subtitles to intro in the mission "La Banque Bienveillante", it is the easiest way to translate it.

I think it's difficult to do the subtitles well for that intro, because it seems the text is burned into the video. So if you use subtitles, they will be shown over the text already present. Although it can still be done.

 

This works:

subtitles fm_root {
	verbosity story 
	inline "fromVideo video/m_lbb_briefing" "bla bla bla"
}

It needs fromvideo because the audio is inside the video and the material of the video instead of the ogg file.

This video would need srt though, so then it would be something like:

subtitles fm_root {
	verbosity story 
	srt "fromVideo video/m_lbb_briefing" "briefing.srt"
}

 

 

@stgatilov Why do you specify the material when using video's, but with sound files specify the files, including extension? Seems a bit inconsistent to me.

@datiswous thanks for your reply.

I need subtitles because it is the only way to translate intro to my native language.

But I have not succeeded yet.

This code in my mission does not work (it shows nothing on the screen)

subtitles fm_root {
	verbosity story 
	srt "fromVideo video/m_lbb_briefing" "briefing.srt"
}

And this piece of code worked! Thanks! Now I am trying to understan how to add more lines.

Sorry, it should be:

subtitles fm_root {
	verbosity story 
	srt "fromVideo video/m_lbb_briefing" "subtitles/briefing.srt"
}

And the srt file's name has to be briefing.srt (for this example to work)

Really just check out the info on the wiki.

If you want a visual editor for subtitles, you could try kdenlive. I use it often for that.
