Can you save subtitles for multiple clips in one file?

[huckrorick]

Saving subtitles to an SRT file seems to have a lot of benefits. However, it seems like I would have to have a separate SRT file for each clip. That would be a lot of clips and becomes rather cumbersome. Is there any way to save all in a single file?

SRT is just formatted text file with timecodes for translation sub's.
How do you want to use it for multi clips?

Hi

If you have a lot of subtitles on the timeline, using sub titles you do have a lot.

You can save all titles as a srt, (save Sub-Title file) will save all titles to one file.

That file can then be opened in the Sub-Title editor, first you have to select the video associated with the srt, or any long video, a video of a suitable length.

All the titles will show in the Sub-Title indicating the start and end times along with text.

Hi Trevor,

I'm not quite sure I understand.

For example, say I have 10 clips in a video. Each clip has dialog that I want to make subtitles for.
In order to open the subtitle editor I need to select 1 clip. I then add subtitles for that clip and save it to an SRT.
I then select another clip and open the subtitle editor and retrieve the same SRT.
I assume it will show the subtitles from the other clip, correct?
But they won’t be in the new clip that I have selected, correct?
Then, can I scan the new clip? And hypothetically say the second clip I am selecting is before the first clip. Where will the subtitles show? After the other clip? Or before, where logically they should be?
But I can add the new subtitles and save it and thereby have the subtitles for 2 clips in one SRT, correct?
If I then insert a clip between them, will the timing be all off?

I went to test this (rather than ask the question), but now the subtitle editor freezes my computer every time I use it. !@#*! Which raises some more difficult questions.

Hi Huck
