Hello Pavel Slama

You don't prepare any of these files.  I think you should review this wiki as it might help you as it also explains about adding filetypes that you have installed but they don't show up yet:

https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/4680/studio-subtitling

The SBV, STL and webVTT plugins give you the ability to handle source files created in these formats.  Studio handles SRT out of the box, with these plugins you can handle SRT, SBV, STL and webVTT if you receive source files in these formats.

What you have to do is this:

1. prepare a project in Studio using any of the supported subtitle source files (SRT, SBV, STL and webVTT) if you have one.
2. Once you have done this open one of the files for translation in the same way you would open any file for translation in a Studio project
3. Click on the View menu when the file is open and you will see this:
   
   Click on it and the preview window will be opened in your Editor View
4. Position the preview window somewhere where you'd like to use it and select a video that corresponds to the source text you have received:
   

That's it.

Hello Paul and Pavel,

First of all, I want to thank you as well for the webinar. I don't want to open a new thread because I seem to have the same problem as Pavel. I've followed the instructions to install the plugin and different file types, but when I go to options I don't get the "Additional installed file Types" links anywhere. Instead, the three file types (VTT, STL and SBV) appear already on the list of file types. Once I've accepted (although I wouldn't need to, since they are already included in the file types supported), I try to open an STL file I have to work with, but Trados says it is NOT a supported file type.

I've tried restarting my PC, uninstall the plugin and file types and install them again... Nothing seems to work. I can't open the file and of course, I can't see the preview option at all. Could you please help me? I'm really looking forward to exploring the potential of this new tool. Thanks.

That's good.  I'm not sure why it sometimes adds them and sometime doesn't, but if you can see them in your list of filetypes then we're all good so far.

There could be at least two reasons for this:

1. You are working with Project Templates (or a previous project) and you have not updated the filetypes available in your Project Templates (or previous project)
2. The STL filetype you have is not a Spruce STL.  There are two types of STL filetype and we only support Spruce since this was the one we understood to be more useful.  Can you share your STL file so I can check it?  You can email it to pfilkin@sdl.com if that's ok?

Thanks
