Add/Import tracks

Adding new track to a project can be done in few ways: manually when using EZConvert's GUI or in a more automated manner via Watch Folder or Command Line.

Adding tracks from EZConvert's GUI

Adding new tracks to a project is as easy as it gets from the GUI. Simply, import a file in EZConvert and then open Manage Subtitle Tracks. From there, you can use the Import button to add more tracks.

Embedding files as tracks of a project using Watch Folder

Combining tracks to a project works in a different way from the Watch Folder - it takes individual files and embeds them into a single .ezt or .eztxml project. To set it up consider the following:

▪All individual files, representing respectively the tracks, must be in the same format.

▪All individual files must be compressed into a .ZIP file. EZConvert's Watch Folder will decompress, process and at the end embed them into .ezt/.eztxml.

▪The Source Format of the Watch Folder must match the subtitling format of the individual files.

▪The Process archive (.zip) files must be activated for the particular Watch Folder. Respectively, the compressed .ZIP is submitted for conversion for that Watch Folder.

▪Metadata for resultant .ezt/.eztxml project may be included from a third-party .details file. If one is used it must also be included to the input .zip archive.
For details referring to the contents of the .details, please check sample_details.details in EZConvert's installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\EZTitlesDevelopmentStudio\EZConvert7 by default.

Embedding files as tracks of a project using Command Line

Combining files as tracks of a project from the Command Line follows the principles outlined for doing that with a Watch Folder.

▪All individual files, representing respectively the tracks, must be in the same format.

▪All individual files must be compressed into a .ZIP file. EZConvert CLI will decompress, process and at the end embed them into .ezt/.eztxml.

▪The Input Format specified by the -i paramater must match the subtitling format of the individuate files from the .zip archive.

▪Processing of .zip files must be activated in the config.cfg: 

[WatchFolderConfig]

Process Archives=1

▪Metadata for resultant .ezt/.eztxml project may be included from a third-party .details file. If one is used it must also be included to the input .zip archive.
For details referring to the contents of the .details, please check sample_details.details in EZConvert's installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\EZTitlesDevelopmentStudio\EZConvert7 by default.
