Include subtitles for visualization and correction about clapshot

[elonen]

Showing an SRT wouldn't technically be very difficult.

The bigger question is, how the UI/UX should support this feature.
For example, how would you attach an SRT to a video, should there be multiple ones and if so, how to switch between them; would you have to change font/size/color, how should commenting and annotation drawings interact with the texts etc etc.

Do you have ideas / opinions on these?

I think for the visualization it should be enough to render the subtitles in white with a black shadow or background to ensure visibility in all situations.
As for the UI, probably it's not necessary to support several subtitles with one same video, as normally you'd need to have separate videos for every language (to adapt lower thirds, etc.) and it's also usually reviewed by different people. A simple on/off switch should do it. The review process itself can be comment-time based as well.
The identification is normally based in the filename, video players recognize the language following this scheme:

name.of.the.video.mp4
name.of.the.video.en.srt
name.of.the.video.es.srt

I'm not sure how this could work in a web player environment, but the uploads could be handled with the same system that is already in place, making sure that the file ends up in the same folder.
