What file formats should I use when uploading subtitles for my movie on Olyn?
To add subtitles to your movie on Olyn, you should use one of these widely supported subtitle file formats:
SubRip (.srt): This is the most common and versatile format. It's simple, text-based, and compatible with most video players and platforms14.
WebVTT (.vtt): Similar to SRT, this format is particularly useful for web-based video platforms14.
SubViewer (.sbv or .sub): Another basic format that's supported by many players3.
When preparing your subtitle files:
Ensure they are in plain UTF-8 encoding for maximum compatibility3.
Create separate files for each language.
Name your subtitle files clearly, indicating the language (e.g., "movie_title_english.srt").
