Adjusting srt output

[DasUnicorn]

I would love the possibility to adjust my srt output with the following:

• Allowing multiple lines, instead of one huge line over the whole video length
• Setting different colours, depending on the speaker
• setting a background and a font colour
• setting the font size

Currently I do them by hand afterwards and it would be grate to set them when exporting the file.

Hey, thanks for opening this issue.

I'm not quite sure I understand the first one: Do you mean having multiple lines in a cue (i.e. a subtitle displayed at the same time) or do you mean splitting a line into multiple cues? Splitting into cues is already possible in two ways:

1. by splitting the line into multiple paragraphs. Each paragraph in the audapolis document is exported as a seperate line in the srt/webvtt file
2. by enabling the "Limit Line Length" option in the export dialog. this automatically splits the exported lines to not be longer than n characters (default: 60)

Allowing newlines inside a single cue is not yet possible. What do you think this should look like? Should this already be happening in the editor or only during export?

For the other ones: In a very quick 2 minute search I could only find information on how font color is encoded in a webvtt file. I didn't find anything regarding background color and font size. Do you by any chance have a link describing that?

When setting different colors per speaker, would you want to just use the ones audapolis automatically generates? Or would you rather have an option in the export menu to select a custom color for every speaker?
