Question

How to export STL without either video or audio?

We are producing subtitles and we already have videos that are completely mixed. As such, we only need to produce an STL. When exporting an STL, PP always generates an audio or a video file. With audio the export is faster than with video, but it would be even faster without audio because we only need the STL.

How can we do that?

Thank you!

@AnonymousPuppy1990,

I assume you have a subtitle format that is compatible with stl export.

Select the sequence. Then File -> Export -> Captions and select stl.

Hello! Thanks for your answer, and also sorry for my delayed response to you.

Your method seems to be promising, but sadly, there are a few options that, using your method, I can not select/change, which we need for our workflow.

These are the number of lines and the number of characters that can be displayed.

What could cause these to be grayed out?

Thanks again!

@AnonymousPuppy1990,

Those options are beyond my understanding. In English, they are "Displayable characters" and "Displayable rows." They are also greyed out and unchangeable when I create and export EBU/STL with the English defaults.

The box for "Display Standards Code" (second row, top left) is set to 1 - Teletext Level 1.0, and changing to 2 - Teletext Level 2.0, has no effect. Changing it to 0 - EBU Subtitle allows them to be changed.

Let us know what you learn!

Open the Text panel and click in the timeline to select it. In the Text panel, click the three dots and select Export and do the export. This is lightning fast.

How can we do that?

Check this out, @Averdahl. You need to have your captions track set up for this option.

Thanks,

I just drag my pre-made srt-file to the timeline and click OK. Thats all i have to do and exporting works for me from the Text panel without any set up. Can that be because i use a pre-made srt-file to start with? 🙂

Hello!

It is possible to turn off only one of them at a time, so either export only audio or only video (alongside the STL). Turning off both is not possible.

Correct. Turning off the video, so exporting audio only, makes it faster. But the method I posted does what you want:

Select the sequence. Then File -> Export -> Captions and select stl.
