Can I have the transcript text scroll under my exported video files when playing through Windows Media Player?
Yes, this is a great way to share video clips with others. When you export a video clip into MPEG or WMV format, actually multiple files are exported simultaneously, but with different file extensions. Along with the MPG or WMV video files will be a TXT file which includes the corresponding transcript text. Also a SMI file – called a “Sammy” file which provides synchronized transcript to be played as subtitles. For another user to play the video clip with subtitles, both the video file and the SMI file must be provided. Instructions to enable subtitles within Windows Media Player are also advised. To enable subtitles within Windows Media Player requires two steps (Windows Media Player 10 and later). Select “On if Available” from the Play>Captions and Subtitles menu, then select “Show Local Captions When Present” from the Tools>Options>Security tab. Provided the SMI file is present (same filename as the video file and in the same directory as the video file), the subtitles will play bel
