Using caption track 2 in the editor

• To move captions between tracks, simply click on the T1 / T2 icons to move captions between tracks or right click on a caption in the timeline and choose “Send to Track 2”.

• 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

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

• You can disable all validation alerts for the second caption track, preventing errors and warnings from appearing for those captions by selecting "Apply limits to T1 only." This prevents errors and warnings from appearing for the second track. If you want validation to run for both caption tracks, select "Apply limits to T1 & T2." See caption limits for more details.
