Hello,

In order to be able to add subtitles more easily than in Youtube Studio, I wondering if the following approach is possible directly within Flame…

Thank’s a lot in advance and yes, please tell me if there are better solutions fot this task:)

.

  • add 2 Subtitle-tracks in the Timeline (one for language A and the second for language B) (but those tracks should no go to the final render!)
  • type the text to each segement and track in question
  • export english subtitle track as a(one) text file
  • export french subtitle track as a(one) text file

.
[content of the english subtitle-file to be uploaded to YT with Youtube Studio as captions.sbv file]

0:00:18.100,0:00:23.200 [this timecode is equivalent with the length of the segment]
this is the Eiffel Tower [this text was typed before to the segment]

0:00:30.100,0:00:35.200
this is Arc de Triomphe

.

ca c’est la tour d’Eiffel

0:00:30.100,0:00:35.200
ca c’est l’Arc de Triomphe

What you describe is possible as of Flame 2024.2, pretty much exactly as you have described it, with Subtitle Tracks which are both metadata and (can be) visual tracks, and you can export an .srt file from any subtitle track by right-clicking on it – and SRT is supported by YouTube (and many others.)

Or maybe I am not picking up on a nuance of the question?

Very happy to hear that this is already possible since 2024.2 :slight_smile: I was an fxphd-student (using Flame 2021.1) and actually without access to Flame since fxphd is unable to offer a VPN-license for flame.

But hopefully there will soon be a solution and than I will start to experiment with this subtitle track feature:)

Thank’s ManChickemn for your feedback!

Is there any video/tut explaining this new Subtitles-feature (intruduced in Flame 2024) ?

Hiya @joe99 - it’s been on my radar that this video is missing from the Flame Learning Channel. I can’t give you an ETA on when you’ll see it, and it isn’t in the very next list of videos I’m making, but I think you will see it one day.
