Font Settings

Here you can specify the font attributes. The size is measured in pixels by default but you can change it to be in Ems or Percentage.

Note: We highly recommend using the exact same values, when the font size is expressed in pixels, as set in the Project Settings or specifying the size as 100%. Font size is part of the calculations for the horizontal/vertical position and if not filled in accordingly might lead to incorrectly positioned text later.

Title, Description, Copyright and Language

The fields are automatically filled with the appropriate values from the file details if the source subtitle file is an .EZT.

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".

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.

Box subtitles

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

The Outline drop-down menu enables you to overwrite the type and parameters of the outline effect as follows:

None - Disables the applied in EZTitles outline and/or shadow effect, subtitles in the exported file will not have outline/shadow.

Outline - Applies outline to all subtitles in the file, regardless of the previously applied effects.

Shadow - Applies shadow to all subtitles in the file, regardless of the previously applied effects.

Outline and Shadow - Applies Outline & Shadow to all subtitles in the file, regardless of the previously applied effects.

Not Changed - Leaves the original style unchanged.

Selected outline, shadow or outline & shadow from the  drop-down enables to also specify size and color for the applied effect.

Use new lines for vertical alignment

This option is intended for compatibility reasons only and will keep the vertical position of the text by inserting empty lines below the text.

By default text's vertical position will be exported using the "tts:DisplayAlign" attribute.

Luminance Gain

Controls the tts:luminanceGain parameter for the output. The default value is "1.0" by specifications and if not changed the parameter will not be present in the output file.

Timebase and Format

Specify the way the timing is expressed in the output file by selecting the appropriate Timebase and Format.

Export Zero

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