cotswoldmark 0 Report post Posted November 9 Hi - hope this is an easy one. I've imported an .SRT file for subtitles. The import is mostly successful - all subtitles come in, but the show and hide times are shown as 0:00:00.000 My file is in the following format (but I've tried several without any luck). Any help appreciated 1 0:00:00.000 ==> 0:00:01.590 Welcome to my video 2 0:00:02.000 ==> 0:00:09.590 I'm going to show you how to change a lightbulb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nationalsolo 0 Report post Posted November 9 Hi They look OK. "Welcome....." Starts at zero time (start of clip) and stops at 1.5 sec "I'm going"......." starts at 2.0 sec and finishes at 9.59 sec Can't see any zeros apart from the first. VP 6.29 This example was saved from VP as an .SRT file and reloaded back to a different clip exactly as saved..... Show and hide times have not altered. Start at zero finish at 1.59 sec Start at 2.0 and finish at 5.0 sec (End of clip) Was the subtitle file created with VP? If it was created with a different editor the timings will probably be different. You can alter them in VP using the start and finish markers after highlighting the particular subtitle in the list.

Nationalsolo 0 Report post Posted November 11 Hi SRT file for my example above generated with VP 6.29 uses --> as well as indicating font color... 001 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,590 <font color='#FFFFFF'>Welcome to my video</font> 002 00:00:02,001 --> 00:00:10,804 <font color='#FFFFFF'>I'm going to show you how to change a lightbulb</font> This was Copy/Paste of the file but did you retype yours? using ==> ?

JimmyRustle 0 Report post Posted November 11 Also, the format for timestamps should be: hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds Note the comma! So really your file should look like: 1 0:00:00,000 --> 0:00:01,590 Welcome to my video 2 0:00:02,000 --> 0:00:09,590 I'm going to show you how to change a lightbulb Also make sure to put two blank lines at the end of the file, or else it doesn't seem to load the last subtitle. I don't think this bit is a requirement of the SRT standard and is probably just a VideoPad quirk. I should check if this is a bug or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
