4.2.33. Exporting to Subtitle Text

Besides the QuickTime subtitle Text (see Section 4.2.32) there is another subtitle format ELAN can export annotations to: SubRip with file extension .srt. Click on File > Export As > Subtitle Text... and select the tiers you want to include in the subtitle file. Specify whether the subtitles should be restricted to annotations in the selected time interval and if the master media time offset should be added to the annotations times. The third option lets you specify the minimal display duration of a subtitle. For instance, if a annotation is only 0.3 seconds long, but you want to display a subtitle at least 0.5 seconds, enter 500 (ms).
