My other brothers can't hear right

We found the thing for the case, subs get sprung

@kdenlive @kde I wonder, does it also support the British equivalent .arse ?

@kdenlive @kde Will there be an easy way to back that ASS up?

@kdenlive Ah yes, good ol' Advance SubStation Alpha subtitles. Been a while since I've seen them around, they were really common for fansubs

@csolisr @kdenlive @kde they're still by far the most common subtitle format

Wouldn't that be SRT?

Man those were different times. I remember my brother using Aegisub and the stuff they could do with it, mind blowing.

@einlander Fun fact: the developer of #Aegisub, Rodrigo Braz Monteiro, ended up building the engine for #Wargroove 1 and 2.

@kdenlive@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social okay but jokes aside this is a genuinely nice feature to have

@kdenlive @kde oh god why would you do that to yourself. ASS is a format that needs to die, not become even more popular.

It's also silly to support the unspecified proprietary ASS format before supporting the actual industry standard for subtitles TTML/ISMC.

@justjanne @kdenlive @kde
.ass is still one of the most human readable subtitle (alongside with .srt).

On other hand, .ttml is just a nightmare for casual fansubber.
At least, that is what happen in fansub culture in my country.

@techpengu @kdenlive @kde If you want human readable, use VTT. If you use ASS, that's usually to add pixel-perfect 3D animations.

Also, to author VTT, SRT and TTML easily you can use e.g. the free edition of Davinci Resolve.

@kdenlive @kde This news makes me very happy! I've specifically been wanting better subtitling since I started using Kdenlive because creating decadent subtitles is fun for me. Thank you for implementing it!
