  Subtitle Expression

  Posted by Luke Wilkins on April 15, 2014 at 7:41 am

  Hi

  First post!

  I have created subtitles on a corporate video using the Metadata created from premiere.

  Its working well with the expression:

  L = thisComp.layer(“Thatcham_Corporate_Video WITH SCRIPT.wmv”);

  max = 7;

  gap = 2;

  n = 0;

  if (L.marker.numKeys > 0) {

  n = L.marker.nearestKey(time).index;

  if (L.marker.key(n).time > time) n–;

  }

  s = ” “;

  if (n> 0){

  if (time – L.marker.key(n).time < gap){

  curT = L.marker.key(n).time;

  i = n-1;

  while(i > 0){

  newT = L.marker.key(i).time;

  if (curT – newT > gap) break;

  curT = newT;

  i–;

  }

  i++;

  base = n – (n-i)%max;

  curT = L.marker.key(base).time;

  for (j = base; j < base+max; j++){

  if (j <= L.marker.numKeys){

  if (L.marker.key(j).time – curT > gap)break;

  s += L.marker.key(j).comment + ” “;

  curT = L.marker.key(j).time;

  }

  }

  }

  }

  s

  But I need it to end the line on a full stop as it looks strange starting with ‘difference. now we can…’

  Id like it to be:

  ‘difference’

  stop,
  ‘
  new line @now we can..’

  anyone done this before?

  Luke
