ELAN supports export to SMIL[4]-compliant clips. With a suitable player this enables you to view media files and the associated annotations as a subtitled movie.

  1. Select the File > Export As > SMIL... menu. This will bring up this dialog box:

  2. Select the tiers you want to export. Keep CTRL pressed and click to select multiple tiers, press Shift and click to select multiple successive tiers.

  3. Check Restrict to selected time interval if you only want to export the current selection. Otherwise the whole media file and associated annotations will be exported.

  4. Click on the suggested filename to change the location where the SMIL clip will be saved.

  5. Choose OK to export the clip.
