RenniePet Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm generally very pleased with the VideoPad product, am glad that I chose it last year when I evaluated several video editing programs. And this support forum has also been good, thank you. The videos I produce get uploaded to Vimeo. They used to provide a do-it-yourself subtitling service, but not any more. I've tried to create subtitles with VideoPad and save them as a .srt file and upload that to Vimeo. This works if I remove the <font> and </font> tags, otherwise the upload is rejected. So this is a basic solution that works for simple subtitles. Vimeo apparently prefers the WebVTT file format. That would presumably allow specification of color and placement and text formatting. So I'd like to suggest that a future version of VideoPad support the WebVTT subtitle file format when using the "Save" button in the subtitle window. Thanks.

RenniePet Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Thanks for your reply. But when VideoPad writes a .srt file it does not include positioning information, like if the caption should be in the upper right corner. Nor does it save the size of the text. So then the .srt to WebVTT conversion does not have that information available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenniePet Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Well, a year has gone by and I've purchased an upgrade to the latest version, and am disappointed to note that the WebVTT subtitle file format still isn't supported. This makes it difficult for me to make subtitles for Vimeo, other than the most rudimentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRustle Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I sent a message to Vimeo tech support a month ago asking about subtitle formatting, and this is the response: "At the moment, there is no functionality to adjust colour or alignment of captions on Vimeo." Regardless, support for WebVTT subtitles has been implemented in VideoPad and is currently in testing. Hopefully you can use VTT after v6.01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
