Another format you can export to from ELAN is QuickTime subtitle Text. To do this, go to . Select the tiers(see the section called “How to select tiers” ) you want to be included in the subtitles. Optionally specify the following options:
: restrict the subtitles to the current selection.
: recalculates the time of current selection to start from zero
: add to the annotation times the time offset from the master media that originated from the synchronization of media files (see the section called “Synchronizing video files”).
: 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).
: If not selected a separate text file will be generated for each tier.
: when ticked the last used custom font and display settings are automatically applied to the exported text
Finally click on . By default the subtitles are
stored in a QTtext .txt file. If you enter a file name with the
extension .xml the subtitles are stored in a TeXML - tx3g
formatted XML file (the merge tiers option is ignored in that case).
