Hi All,
Just finished a job. Video - and subs as srt.
But the only place the srt works/show is on Youtube?
I have tried Linkedin, Vimeo, VLC Player, Films & TV (by Windows), but no subs shows when playing?
And my client experienced the same, when testing video and srt in Films & TV.
Not good. Please help.
Cheers
Stopher

there are lots of things to check for different programs and platforms with srts, and other files. They can all have their own rules to follow.
Vimeo i believe, your subs have to start at tc 0:00:00:00, not the timecode of your timeline in Resolve.
VLC, i've only had success with VLC when the sub file is named the same thing as the video file. I believe it also needs a 0 hour start timecode.
The file name for srt and video file having to be the same is a common one amongst a few programs, even though they allow you to point to a file to use as a sub source.

Thanks mate.
I tried to name video and srt the same, but it's still not working ...?
And started at 00:00:00
I even upgraded to DR 17.
This should just be butter smooth and easy, but ...????
Very frustrating.
