Using Watchfolders in FAB Subtitler Server

It is possible to configure watchfolders in FAB Subtitler Server. In this case as soon as a file is copied to a configured watchfolder the file will be processed.

The following actions can be used for every configured watchfolder:

  • Transcription of a video file. The resulting transcript file or subtitle file will be stored in the output folder. Optionally cloud translation can be configured so that the output folder will also contain subtitle files translated to selected languages.

  • Conversion of video file to MP4 or WMV video file which is optimized for fast navigation for preparation of subtitles.

FAB Subtitler Server can send an email using SMTP Server reporting success or error after the processing of the file in the watchfolder is finished.

Configuration

  • Open FAB Subtitler Server Configuration.
  • Click on the Watchfolder page
  • Add as many watchfolders as you need and configure them as required

The number that you define for “priority” defines the order in which watchfolders will be processed. Watchfolders with higher priority will be processed first.
