    Subtitles are supported via a plugin script. You can download the example from here (now up to v1.3):
    https://github.com/brightsign/BrightAuthor-Plugins/tree/master/Subtitles-Widget 


    This is an example of a modified version of v1.2 it that swaps between two languages:

    Look at function "HandlePluginMessageEvent" if you want to modify this to four languages, add some more "else if" statements.

    Under presentation properties > autorun, add this script plugin and name it "Custom".
    Also under presentation properties>files, add your *.srt files (make sure the file names match in the plugin script)

    Now in your presentation you can add a command to send a plugin message to "Custom"

    As you can see from "HandlePluginMessageEvent" the currently supported messages are:
    Clear = no subtitles
    EN = use EN.srt file for subtitles
    FR = use FR.srt file for subtitles

    Hi,

    is there any way to format the subtitles, like change font, fontsize, colour, outline... ?

    Dear Romeo

     

    Your link http://brightsignnetwork.com/download/Romeo/SubRip_SRT_Jeff_ISE_2018_English_French.zip does not seem to work anymore. Any chance of finding the content elsewhere?

    Hi Tse,

    I just used that link to download this file. I believe that there is an issue on your side which is preventing the file download.  Please try to copy and paste the url in a web browser to see if that works then.

    Regards,

    Romeo
