OOYALA Timed Text

The Ooyala Timed Text export options fully complies with Ooyala requirements:http://help.ooyala.com/video-platform/reference/dfxp_format.html. Some attributes and parameters are pre-defined and pre-set in accordance with the specifics set in the above documentation.

Font Name

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

Size and Units

Enables you to set selected font's size. By default, font size is measured in pixels (px) but it can also be expressed as Ems (ems) or Percentage (%).

Override Font Color

Allows text's color to be changed directly from the export configuration window. Selected from the  palette color will be applied to all subtitles in the exported file.

Title

The Title entered in File/Details will be automatically inserted, title field can also be typed in by hand.

Language

Indicates the language in the subtitles file. It's very important to select the language accordingly especially when the export would create multilingual subtitles file.

No Region

The language identifier tag consists of two parts Language ID + Country ID. For example, if we select "English (United States)" from the drop-down, the corresponding language tag will be: xml:lang="en-US".
For compliance with other applications or equipment, however, only the Language ID may be required. In this case, activating the No Region checkbox will output the following: xml:lang="en".

Append selected Language to existing file

This option corresponds to one of the unique features of the format - multilingual Timed Text files can be delivered to Ooyala.

Respectively, the "Append selected Language..." option allows multilingual file to be created once it's been clicked on. After that select existing on your computer file, in the Ooyala format, and EZTitles will append the subtitles to it.

Box

By selecting the No Change option for the Box effect, the subtitles will be saved as they were originally created in EZTitles. But using the dedicated "Boxed" option will apply the effect to all subtitles in the output file and will also allow you to choose a Color for it as well as opacity. Opacity value of 0% mean that the box will appear fully opaque, while value of 100% will be fully transparent.

Outline

By turning this on you can specify the size of the outline effect as well as its color. Outline's size can be specified both in percent and in pixels. Outline size in percent is preferred when subtitle will be showed for videos in different resolutions.

Recut/Offset

Allows you to Recut/Offset the subtitles during the export. This may be required for subtitle projects that do not start from 00:00:00:00, they are offset by an hour or more. Most video players assume the video always plays from 00:00:00:00 which creates synch issues with subtitles that are offset.

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 parameter saved in the Details. Programme Start TC can be selected from Video/Setup Timecode with a video opened in.

Video Start TC - automatically gets video's start time as specified in Video/Setup Timecode. This option can be used only when a video is loaded in.

Export Zero Subtitle

Click it if you want to include the zero subtitle in the exported file.
