cotswoldmark Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 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.

JimmyRustle Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Those don't look like valid SRT subtitles to me. All examples I have seen use --> for separating time-stamps, not ==> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 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 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
