Newly generated video doesnt have timed text (subtitle/captions)
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Bring over "timed text" (will need to adjust the timing if parts of the video have been cut)

The tool is not bringing the timed text, That would be nice if it also brings the trimmed text from the old derived file.

I would believe this is a manual operation, since the video frames and the the timestamps change...

  • Once the timestamps are generated again, text can be manually copy/pasted?
  • Does there exist a tool to autogenerate the timestamps based on video frames?

@Geertivp you are right, after digging little deeper I couldn't think of anything else now.

@Gopavasanth Using this API shall we get autogenerated subtitles?
There are two other ways also via which we can add subtitles first one is using react library for parse subtiltles files,or second thing we can do is we have to write manually all the subtitles followed by the step of WebVTT,I know this will reduce the productivity,but let me know how we basically add,by typing manually and storing hem an in array or by using some sort of api?

hey @Aklapper please help me in adding the FEATURE tag here. I'm unable to find it on the tags section
