DOTE and DOTEbase

And just like that: You can insert and configure your subtitles directly in DOTE2.0. Each video panel can play its own subtitle version. Perfect for presentations

How would you like to embed subtitles directly into any DOTE Media Panel—using SRT files exported from your Jeffersonian or Mondadaian tiers—and have them appear perfectly synchronized during video playback?

a layout with 6 videos underneath a long timeline.
user-defined layouts can be saved and renamed/reordered in a list so you can switch layouts quickly.

First up is the new layout functionality, which allows you to change the layout of panels, such as transcript, media players, timeline etc to suit your personal preferences. In the screenshots, you can see:
a layout rather like v1.0 but with 4 videos instead of 2.

We have been furiously working for the last months on a big update to DOTE v2.0! It is not yet ready for beta testing and official release, but we hope it will be ready early in 2026. In the meantime, we will post some tantalising screenshots of new features that have already been implemented.

10000 downloads - thank you so much:-)

DOTE2.0 Kanban updated. We are cooking the next version of DOTE right now. Maybe some update of DOTEbase too:-) Don't forget to get your license at www.dote.aau.dk

and a conversion from ELAN to DOTE - segment in-point is converted to the sync-code in DOTE

Here is an example of going from CLAN to DOTE

We are looking for CLAN and ELAN users interested in converting 1 or 2 transcripts to the DOTE format. We have tested a Python script the last couple of days - and it would be interesting to try with some "real" data. Please get in touch. #DOTE #ELAN #CLAN #transcription #EMCA #VIDEO

You can export your transcript as SRT in DOTE (pro users only) - youtu.be/1X3Es1fftPA - put the SRT file in the same folder as the video - then play the video using VLC...Burning the subtitles into the video is also possible with extra software (adobe premiere) - maybe www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit

Nice idea @kobinkendrick.bsky.social - we will add it to the list...but the list is pretty damn long at the moment.

thanks for clarifying Mark. We will take a closer look. But for now, we need to prioritise other issues.

maybe...we are working on other major upgrades at the moment...we will add it to the list.

That is still the case. With DOTE you can add a sync-code in the beginning of each line (not the end). But know you can a transcript clips and media clips with DOTEbase youtu.be/HPYFak345mo

thanks @profsalwiggins.bsky.social - we try our best. We hope developers will join us to make this open source project even better:-)

Above are some screenshots to illustrate some of the functionality.
We hope to release 360mash as open/source code on GitHub in January 2025 to encourage further development.
It will be available to download for Windows/macOS from our webshop and from GitHub.

We are finalising our new software package 360mash to support basic video editing tasks needed for qualitative video research. 360mash is a free, cross-platform, lightweight tool for clipping, reframing and anonymising 2D, 180 and 360 videos and exporting the resulting video as fast as possible.

🎉 Happy New Year from DOTEbase! 🎉
