As always, thank you for Subtitle Edit . Some versions ago three windows began popping up whenever I open a subtitle--Video, Audio, and Controls--and I'm wondering if there's a way to make this stop? I've been meaning to ask for a while but am now just finding the time; thanks for any help.

Maybe you have undocked video controls. Try Video --> Re-dock video controls.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

von Suppé: Thanks for your reply. That's certainly an improvement. Is there any way to make the layout look like it did before the change; ie., no video or waveform windows, just the text?

[Yosho]

Use FFprobe to extract exact frame time codes does not yield any results. Does this feature actually work? What could I be missing assets or settings wise?
I can't seem to find good software to sync subs for me. Subsync doesn't work for me. I have to edit subs via waveform which takes weeks or months at a time.. I want to cut down on time needing to edit them. But it seems like I can't get the FFprobe to do it's thing in subtitle edit and I can't figure out why it can't or doesn't extract frame time codes..

I think you have to choose a GUI template under the "Layout" button.

I'd buy you multiple beverages of your choice if I could, von Suppé .

How could I tell subtitle edit to only pay attention to English if the pgs muxed has Chinese on top and English on the bottom?

Thank you for all the new versions in recent years. Glad that there is still a good subtitle tool out there which gets improved continuously.

Thx, you're welcome
Just trying to make a good subtitle utility + have fun... 5.000.000 views + sticky

Also, SE 4.0.6 is out: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases
New: "Speech to text" (available in the Video menu) + Batch burn-in of subtitles (also in the Video menu) + many minor improvements.

Hi folks, wondering if someone can give me some pointers on handling forced subs on BD titles.

To avoid missing a lot of dialogue in my advancing years I often find myself turning subs on. The default subs are too big and visually distracting, so I've taken to using SE to make my own smaller, subtle subs, and use tsMuxer to rebuild the BD title with the custom sup file that SE creates for me. This works nicely.

The issue I'm having happens when I haven't chosen to turn subs on and foreign dialogue needs to be forced in the subtitles. I use ass format in SE so I can create both my 'subtle' style plus a 'forced' style that is larger and more obvious (because everyone is going to read those). When exporting to sup format there is a "forced" checkbox at the left side, and this works fine for an occasional forced item. But if I have lots of forced text spread throughout the subtitles I can't find a way to segregate the forced items so I can turn them on as a group and not miss any of them.

It would be perfect if ASS had a forced attribute that would toggle the checkbox, or if I could sort the items in the export dialogue by tapping the 'style' header (and then tap the "#" header to put them back in the correct order before starting the export) or something like that. So far all I've found to do is to scroll through the list manually looking for my 'forced' style to show up and toggle those items myself.

Am I missing some easier method to segregate just those items I want to force?

Thanks.

Hey guys, who knows the source code for PGS Blu ray decoding

[cubicibo]

FFmpeg contains pgssubdec.c.

Thank you，Do you have PGS SUP decoding for 100% C++?

[cubicibo]

What for? Just call C code from C++.

Hi All,

I started using SE a couple of weeks ago. Gosh, it's great!

I have some subs that are hanging around too long. Is there a way to automatically set the ending times of all subs to, say, 2 seconds plus 0.1 second per letter? That way "Hello there!" would be up for 3 seconds.

[Emulgator]

Should be possible to solve that with the already built-in math.
nikse has implemented Min Duration, Optimal / Max Chars/sec. and more per profile.

I don't think so. Show me how you have done it. Thanks! --Mark.

I think it is possible using a 2-step process.

1. Use the "tools>adjust durations..." menu. Select the 'recalculate' method and set both parameters to 12 chars/sec. Then 'OK'. Now all subs will be set to your 0.1 sec/char setpoint. The math seems a bit odd to me, since I would have expected to get the right result when setting it to 10 chars/sec, but that doesn't seem to work right. I might be missing something in the settings.

2. Now use the "tools>adjust durations..." function again, but select the 'seconds' method, and set the parameter to 2 seconds. This will add 2 seconds to all of the subs.

So the end result is a base of 2 seconds with 0.1 seconds/char added to the time. There are other checkboxes that will allow you to avoid overlapping subs.

This method seems to give the result that you are looking for, if I understand you correctly.

Thank you, Robert. You're kind. Upon rereading your proposal, I agree it will probably work. But a script that includes regular expression processing will be easier. The subtitle file is just text.

Thanks again -- Mark.
