Hello,

After editing srt subtitles sometimes I get empty lines.
I can't figure out how to delete all lines in one go.
Now I manually mark each empty line and then hit delete.
Would be great if someone could enlighten me on this?
Thanks...

Edit:
Found a workaround:
Options-->Settings-->Check "Remove blank lines when opening a subtitle".
But I would like to do the remove when I finished editing the srt.
The workaround setting requires to first edit the srt,
check the "Remove..." then close Subtitle Edit and open it again and blank lines will be removed.
I will also have to uncheck "Remove..." before opening a new srt project to have the original srt untouched.

Hope I'm making sense... and many thanks to the creator of this excellent software.

Regards

You could use Fix common errors to remove the empty lines after you have finished working on the file.

Hello all,

I've got a little problem with Final Cut Pro XML+PNG export. When importing into FCP, all PNG are only visible one frame instead of their real lenght.

However, it works fine in DaVinci...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi.

Just reporting a bug (I assume) with naming Advanced Sub Station Alpha styles (I'm using Subtitle Edit 3.5.2 on XP).

When creating a style and giving it a multi-word name (ie Magnificent New Style), Subtitle Edit drops everything after the first space, so "Magnificent New Style" becomes "Magnificent ".

Style: Magnificent ,Courier New,20,&H00FFFFFF,&H0300FFFF,&H00000000,&H02000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,2,1,2,10,10,10,1

When saving the subtitle file, for the individual subtitles, it also drops the space.

Dialogue: 0,0:22:54.82,0:23:01.12,Magnificent,,0,0,0,,Subtitle text......

The above only happens when first creating/naming a style. If you then edit the style without editing the name, when you re-save the subtitle file, Subtitle Edit also drops the space from the style name, so the subtitles go back to working properly again.

For Sub Station Alpha subtitles, the space after the first word is dropped as soon as the style is created (or the subtitle file is first saved), so even though the style mightn't have the expected name, it doesn't break functionality.

Style: Magnificent,courier new,20,-1,-50331904,-16777216,-50331648,0,0,1,2,1,2,10,10,10,0,1

Dialogue: Marked=0,0:22:54.82,0:23:01.12,Magnificent,NTP,0000,0000,0000,,Subtitle text......

Thank you for the continued work on Subtitle Edit.

That was fast!
I've given the beta version a quick test, and so far so good.

Thanks.

The drop frame concerns 29,97 fps frequency. I work at 25 fps so I'm not concerned. I've tried anyway the new beta, no changes.

Is there a way to disable the videoplayer and stuff?

It is just annoying to me that the Controls, Audio and Video windows pop up everytime I open a subtitle to do a quick edit.
The program also crashes and locks with many videofiles. And even when it works well it feels slower to open, so I would just love to be able to disable it when I don't wanna use it.

Thank you for the great work.

@Music Fan: Sorry, I started on it but did not find a good solution...

@Barneyk: Just had a few requests for that, so it's included in latest beta: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subt...leEditBeta.zip - see Options -> Settings -> Video player - "Auto-open video file when opening subtitle"

Thank you for constantly updating this. It currently my main subtitle software.

I'm not sure if this feature is available yet, the option Word List > OCR seem quite close to what I need but it only get activate during OCR fix up tools.
What I'm interest is, "short key" or "short words".

When I subtitle there tend to be quite many repeat words and phrases (e.g Names or Idiom). Typing these out each time is a pain, I usually Copy/Paste it but clipboard can only hold one. Other method is I use a Acronym and use Replace (Ctrl+H) afterward.

So the feature I'm hoping you add is the ability to use short cut/key and it will auto change to what I need.

Feature: Short Cut/Key Words
Example: Typing "abc" will replace it with, "all can bee", typing lol change it to "laugh out loud". These words and replacement key can be changed of course.

Thank you.

While not directly related to Subtitle Edit there's a couple of other options you could try. One is a clipboard manager. Actually, I find Windows quite annoying to use without one. Some clipboard managers let you save permanent clipboard entries. The clipboard manager I use is ClipX because it also lets you configure the type of clipboard items it saves. I have it set not to save images in the clipboard.

Another option might be a macro program. Maybe give AutoHotkey a try. One of it's most basic jobs would be to save strings of text to automatically type for you after you type a "hotstring" (pretty much any key combination you choose). As a simple example for a script such as the one below, typing "zzs" would cause AutoHotkey to replace "zzs" with "This is the phrase I don't want to repeatedly type" followed by the enter key.

;Some phrase.
:*:zzs::This is the phrase I don't want to repeatedly type{Enter}

AutoIT also seems to be quite popular.

Disabling the "auto-open video file" setting doesn't seem to work for me.

Even though I have it disabled it still auto-opens.

And it leads to subtitle edit crashing about 50% of the time I try and use it. And even when it doesn't crash it makes the program open really sluggishly and it is a pain to use all of the sudden.

Is there a way to disable the videoplayer function completly?

I just wanna edit subtitles, I want nothing to do with the videofiles.

@Barneyk: Thx for the info
Could you try latest beta: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subt...leEditBeta.zip

(Also, you could try "mpv media player" - you can download the single dll file directly from SE video player settings.)

Seems to work now but it does still crash with some videofiles with mpv media player, not as many though, most of the ones I tried worked better now when I did load the video.
But it still freezes and have to be terminated with some files.

But it doesn't load the video files now so its fine as far as I am concerned.

I would prefer it if there was an option to not open the video windows at all, they are in the way and makes the program feel clunky to me.

I undocked them but they still open everytime I open the program whether I load a video file or not.
