Subtitles / Captions Support in Replay

It would be super helpful for my team if .SRT subtitle files were supported in Dropbox Replay. Almost all of our projects use subtitles and it's hard to convince my team on Replay without some sort of subtitle/caption support. It's also important for accessibility standards. Lots of reasons to support captions.

 

As a side note, Replay is great and I love the integration with DaVinci Resolve. You've all done some nice work here Dropbox!

    Agree! So many good reasons to support this functionality since this is standard part of a deliverable (yay inclusive design!)

    • clients can to do the editorial review of the subs/caps in situ
    • designers get to see if graphics have issues when subs/caps enabled
    • Sync issues with sound
    • etc.

    Agreed. Especially if this extended to the integration with Premiere Pro.

    Very essential with requirements of ADA, In RESOLVE delivery, the EXPORT Subtitle option needs to be activated, so we can at least upload a burned in subtitle for Review.

    Weird... I can upload them to the video, it tells me they'll only be available on that particular version of the video (cool by me) it says they're in there, that they're selected/active. Still nothing shows on screen.

    What file type are you using to upload them with the video? .mkv or something?

    Another great idea that never saw the light of day... still nothing in 2023.

     

    Such a simple yet missed out feature from Dropbox.

     

    RIP Dropbox. You used to be the best.
