Font Name

Allows you select specific Font or rather choose Generic Name of the font family.

When using Command Line/Config Editor of Watch Folder versions of EZConvert you can select/type in <from_source>. This parameter will take the font specified in Project Settings/Fonts or in the input .ezt/.eztxml file and will pass it automatically to the output.

Font Settings

Enables the selection of font's weight (bold or not) and color. As per specifications the font size is set as percentage - 100%.

Title, Description and Copyright

Title, Description and Copyright are automatically filled with the appropriate values from the file details if the source subtitle file is an .ezt or .eztxml.

Language

Allows you to select the language of the subtitles. The list of languages follows the list of currently supported by Netflix languages.

Language will be filled automatically if it's been read and recognized from the source file or it can be selected manually from the list.

Note: If the language code you're looking for is not in the list, you can always selected the Custom option and write it by hand.

Recut/Offset

Allows you to Recut/Offset the subtitles during the export. From the drop-down menu you can choose between the following options:

None - doesn't recut or offset the subtitles and they will be exported with their original timing.

Manual - allows you manually specify the offset for the recut.

Auto - automatically offsets the timing using the first subtitle's In-cue. All timecodes are offset backward with the first subtitle's In-cue rounded down to the closes hour. For example if the first subtitle originally starts at 10:00:32:21 after applying the recut it's start time will become 00:00:32:21.

Programme Start TC - automatically subtracts the value of the Programme Start TimeCode metadata parameter if available in the input file. Note that this parameter is supported for EBU STL, EBU-TT, EZT or EZTXML file formats only.

Video Start TC - automatically gets video's start time from the input EZT or EZTXML file and uses it to recut/offset the subtitles.
