Caption track 2

CaptionHub allows for two simultaneous tracks of captions. This can be useful in several different scenarios, including:

1. Localising on-screen text

2. Audio description

3. Partial captions / multi-lingual subtitles

4. Simultaneous captions on-screen

Using caption track 2 in the editor

• To move captions between tracks, simply click on the T1 / T2 icons to move captions between tracks.

• To switch between displaying only captions in T1 or T2, click on the T1 / T2 icons above the spreadsheet editor to toggle that track’s visibility.

• When you’re filtering by T2, then any newly created captions will go into track 2.

Importing captions into a different caption track

To import a timed text file into a different caption track, choose the Import timed text option from the drop-down menu on the Caption Editor, and choose the destination track for the file you’re importing

Exporting different caption tracks

• If your timed text format supports it, then you’ll be able to select whether to export T1 or T2 (or both) in the formatter dialogue box

Notes

• Captions in the same track cannot overlap with each other

• T1 and T2 captions can overlap with each other

• Linguists and reviewers can change caption tracks for original captions, but not for translations

• T2 captions are always half-height in the timeline; T1 captions are full height, unless they overlap with T2 captions
