Subtitle Expression
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…’
anyone done this before?

First of all very neat Expression. I like it! Secondly to do what you are talking about automatically I am pretty sure you would need a script that was able to measure pixel distance because AE has no easy way (that I know of) to know how long across text is. My suggestion is to go into the comments that you have on the markers and break the subtitle up manually with the return key, or am I miss understanding the issue you are running into?
