This feature is needed to be able to add the transcripted text with diarization details (speakers to be placed in Actors column in SE)

For example. This is our imported SRT file content with speakers:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,000
[Speaker 1]: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

2
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
[Speaker 2]: YYYYYYYYYYYYYY

3
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
[Speaker 1]: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
4
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
[Speaker 3]: - AAAAAAAAAAA

Let's say, all speaker details inside closed brackets before the actual text should be transferred to Actor column in SE automatically. Otherwise, regardless of the speaker details in the srt, we need to enter actor details manually.

Thank you so much for everything ^^

The main reason is to be able to edit the names of speakers in the editor easily and the other reason is to be able to format the custom export txt file easily so when exported, the speaker detail should end up being under the timecode instead of being in the text itself.

Try File - Export - Custom text format.

Like this:

You can also setup a shortcut for exporting in your custom format:

Thanks for the tips. I already use them both. The issue is not being able to use the "actor" info when the actor info is inside the text because .srt files may only have the actor/speaker info inside the subtitle text and not in a different actor column as in .ass files.

What I need is to be able to import an .srt file into SE editor and then convert the editor to ass and then being able to extract the actor info from SRT subtitle text to ASS actor column in the editor so the custom export can use the actor section separately.

(Otherwise there won't be an [actor] section for export function to work and it will be a part of the text and won't be able to separate them from the spoken lines)

Thank you
