I just tested the beta you provided for a project. It partly works. It works if you are not on the line to be removed.

However the workflow is that you find a HI line, so you are on it. You copy and paste it in "Remove text if it contains".
Then when you hit ok it jumps again to the first line. It should show/select the next subtitle in that case.

thx for testing and feedback
Will now go to the nearest line if current line is gone.

Thank you. Just tested the new beta. It works perfectly in both situations.

Hi Nikse,
After importing SUP for edit, the forced subtitles in the stream are auto-recognised and checked, which is great.
Is there also a way to isolate, process and output only these forced sups?

I know it's not an easy request but I'd really like the OCR to be able to find text position on the whole screen and use ass tags to correctly place it. It usually happens on anime, but I found on some english movies too, such as the recent Nobody.

Here you can find what I am talking about.

Another tipical situation, mostly in anime, is time overlapping subs. I can't find a proper example right now but it would be nice that Subtitle recognizes the same text and place them correctly both in space and time. What happens now is that it repeats the text on different time markers, while it has a determined duration, different from the other text that is presented on screen.

I'd like to get rid of < and > too. There are some guidelines around, telling they have different meanings in Closed Captions. Perhaps a future implementation in Remove text for hearing impaired.

Third request Have an optional common dictionary for names/noise list (yes a third button in the Spell check window). I usually OCR subtitles of the same movie in english and italian too and have to add them twice is really a time loss.

Fourth and fifth request: punctuation before / after numbers. Sometimes an hour such as 10:00 is split as 10: 00 or 10 :00. It should correct the OCR. The symbols ° and ª are sometimes detached too from 1° or 1ª. There is another more subtle one such as ".45 caliber". Sometimes it recognizes as . 45 but as there could be a case of a real detached number, such as in a new sentence, I don't really know how you could fix it.

Thanks!

You can right-click in the list view, choose "Select forced lines", and then "Ctrl+shift+i" (inverse selection), and then "delete key" to delete non-forced lines.

Is there a Subtitle Edit guide for doing manual SRT translations?
I have a play spoken one language, hardcoded subs in a second and an SRT found for the text in another source at open subtitlles.
As play text it should be identical but cannot be magically muxed together.

It would be a huge job for me writing an SRT for a two hour play but I think once I know how to stop the video and have the timestamp and save it, the routine would be established for the rest.

The SRT would be made from scratch at the timings of the
play with no timestamps list to work with. As the text appears on screen I'd have to manually stop it and add the text from the
found source to the media to my new English SRT.

Is there a forum source and guide for doing this in SubtitleEdit? I'm thinking of a forum or Q&A for this particular process.

Some progress. I was able to SRT, load the video and the
waveform and make a few lines of dialog from my third party SRT text.

Added a few lines but have to test that yet.

Is there a way to set the default duration greater than 1 sec and
not have to do each one manually? This is why I seek a forma to ask these common questions. Read time for subtitles is always too short for my taste or ability to keep up.

Good evening.
In the alignment of the text at the top right, I ask if it is possible to have a higher security distance from the screen margin?
Thank you very much

For srt, I wouldn't know how to set a (safety) margin.
For these occasions it may be convenient to work with an *.ass file. Besides the possibility to use different font types, *.ass will let you set any top-bottom and/or left-right margin for each style.
Note that, depending on what player you'll use and whether the subtitle will be internal or external to the videofile, you may want to export the *.ass to image-based SUP.

Now I saw it.
I didn't know that the ".ass" format allows many more settings.
I noticed that the settings made on a row are maintained for all lines
Is there a command to act on certain lines?
Thank you very much

You would create the desired number of styles in style editor and call these styles
("Set style" line becomes only available if there is more than one style)
or overrule Format tags: (Layer, Start, End, Style, Name, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, Effect, Text)
by right click on the appropriate line.

Besides using styles for .ass subtitles you can use ASS Tags

Welcome back.
I would like to draw your attention to two bugs in Subtitle Edit for Windows.
1. After a new installation of version 3.6.0 or 3.6.1 with default settings, the first time the program is started and the "Settings" window is opened, the program creates the "error_log.txt" file, which contains:
Quote:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 07/23/2021 20:17:52
Message: Unable to load '' (also check libc.so.6 + libdl.so.2)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 07/23/2021 20:17:52
Message: Not all required methods was found in libvlc
Each time "Settings" is opened, new lines are added.
Although I do not use VLC media player as a Video engine, adding the correct path to the "libvlc.dll" file in the [VLC path] field causes the messages not to appear anymore.

2. In the "Compare subtitles" window - left side - the "Reload" button is active for the text loaded from the main program window after OCR before saving it to the disk, so using it causes the program to crash.
I don't know if refreshing from memory or from a file should work in this case.

Edit: 07/25/2021
Both reported bugs were fixed in version 3.6.1 NEXT, beta 272. Thanks.

I have downloaded latest beta and it creates ASS subtitles with default 50 size, which is too big.

Style: Default,Arial,50,&H00FFFFFF,&H0000FFFF,&H00000000,&H00000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,1,1,2,10,10,10,1

Some regression?
