python-srt2ass

Python script to convert subtitle formats from .srt to .ass.

By default subtitles will use

• warm white colour with sligth transparency for SDR content
• dark gray colour for HDR content
• and black borders/shadow for both.

FFmpeg is used to detect video area resolution and black bars for proper subtitle positioning.

Requirements

• FFmpeg
• Python 3
• Windows/Linux/Mac/Android

How to use

python srt2ass.py -i "file"
or
python srt2ass.py -i "file" -s 16 -o 40
or
python srt2ass.py --input "file" --size 16 --offset 40

Sample

Using command line

$ python srt2ass.py -i file1.srt
$ python srt2ass.py -i file1.srt file2.srt file3.srt
$ python srt2ass.py -i *.srt -s 20 -o 48
$ python srt2ass.py --input *.srt --size 20 --offset 48

Using as module

(FIXME)

from srt2ass import srt2ass

assSub = srt2ass("file.srt")
print('ASS subtitle saved as: ' + assSub)
# ASS subtitle saved as: file.ass
