At the beginning of the video don't change time, in the middle shift time by 1 second. By the end of video, shift time by 2 seconds. ``` $subtitles->shiftTimeGradually(2, 0, 3600); ``` How to add new subtitle format? ------------------------------- [](#how-to-add-new-subtitle-format) You need to implement ConverterContract.php interface. It has two methods. ``` fileContentToInternalFormat($file_content) internalFormatToFileContent($internal_format) ``` Basically what your implementation should be able to do, is convert subtitle file to "internal library's format", and from internal library's format back to subtitle file. "Internal library's" format is used like middle ground, to be able to convert between different formats. Best example is to look how [SrtConverter.php](https://github.com/mantas783/subtitle-converter/blob/master/src/code/Converters/SrtConverter.php) is implemented. And this is example of [.srt file](https://github.com/mantas783/subtitle-converter/blob/master/tests/files/srt.srt). ### "Internal Format" [](#internal-format) "Internal Format" is just a PHP array. It is used internally in library to be able to convert between different formats. ``` Array ( [0] => Array ( [start] => 137.44 [end] => 140.375 [lines] => Array ( [0] => Senator, we're making [1] => our final approach into Coruscant. ) ) [1] => Array ( [start] => 140.476 [end] => 142.501 [lines] => Array ( [0] => Very good, Lieutenant. ) ) ) ``` ``` [start] - when to start showing text (float - seconds) [end] - when to stop showing text (float -seconds) [lines] - one or more text lines (array) ``` Running Tests ------------- [](#running-tests) Simplest way is to download and put phpunit.phar file into the main directory of the project. Then run the command: ``` php phpunit.phar ``` Contribution ------------ [](#contribution) You can contribute in any way you want.

Some popular formats: .mcc, .capRefactor [StlConverter.php](https://github.com/mantas783/subtitle-converter/blob/master/src/code/Converters/StlConverter.php) fileEasy.stl format is very similar to .srt. The only problem is that StlConverter.php code can be simplified a lot (check [SrtConverter.php](https://github.com/mantas783/subtitle-converter/blob/master/src/code/Converters/SrtConverter.php) as example)Add .scc formatHard[Format description](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIA-608)For now library should support only basic features (several lines of text). No need to support different text styles or positioning of text.
