For example, if the time code of the first line of the good srt is ;
1
00:00:07,921 --> 00:00:12,241
I get this in the corrected sup ;
1
00:00:07,877 --> 00:00:12,197

But as I can change srt's timecode easily with SE to compensate this little change, that's not a big problem.
Or, after importing the new timecodes, you could also change all their in/outs manually

The "Fix common OCR errors" is a bit too greedy, for example in the example below, it will propose to replace "for" with "For", however this should not be the case.

Any idea how to make the method stay away from automatically capitalizing the new subtitle line when the previous one ended with some "end of sentence" string ? There are quite a lot of "false positives" by default.

Code:
43
00:08:07,379 --> 00:08:11,033
I warned their president...
- Say it John, Say it !

44
00:08:11,133 --> 00:08:13,173
for doing business with them.

Nikse555, is it possible to add this to the "Fix common error tools":

If there are 2 lines, and both begin with a dash, being able to remove the dash (and the following space, if it's there) in the first line?
This would be as opposite of the tool "Fix (add dash) line pairs with only one dash (-)"
Maybe call it "Fix (remove first dash) line pairs with two dashes" or something?

Example:

- Hi, how are you?
- I'm fine, thanks.


-->

Hi, how are you?
- I'm fine, thanks.


Thanks for your hard work

Proposition for the "Fix Unneeded Spaces" :

In case of <somestring><DASH><space><nextstring>, when <nextstring> is "and" or "or", do not remove the <space>.
("en" or "of" in Dutch)

Examples :

(English)
Code:
What are your long- and altitude stats ?
There is an X- and a Y-chromosome.
Did you buy that first- or second-handed ?
(Dutch)
Code:
Wat zijn je voor- en familienaam ?
Was het in het voor- of najaar ?
I've commited some brewing on my github that probably is far below your coding standards, but perhaps you can refine it.

Why would be this a correct formatting?
Yes, I've seen this also on commercial movies, but I still have no explanation why one line is treated differently than the other one, although both are dialogues ...

I'm not saying it's correct formatting, if there is any. I and many people just like it this way and find the first line dash not necessary.
I myself do a lot of manual subtitling and there's a lot of feel to it, which I find more important than correct formatting or not. A first dash disturbs my feel to the text in most cases.

the - normally "tells" the viewer that a different person than the one who told the last line is now speaking, so it's perfectly normal to have both lines beginning with - in that case. (at least, that's the way I understand it)

Yes, I know what you mean.
If one would consist in that way, in every new subtitle display where the speaker of the first line is another than the last one in the previous subtitle display, how many cases would you have to start with a dash to tell the viewer this? It feels unnatural to me to do so.

Example:

Display 1:

Son, as I don't have much time today,
will you do me a favor and wash the car?

Display 2 would have to be like this:

- I will in the afternoon dad, because
I promised mom to fix her computer first.


Or similar things. Doesn't feel right. But everybody should of course do as they see or feel fit.

I agree with von Suppé.
Whenever I'm creating subtitles myself I put the dash (which in my humble opinion should always be a so called "em dash" , not a "hyphen" - ) in front of the second line, in other words exactly where the change of the speaker happens within the same subtitle.
I also think it's easier to follow such a subtitle if both lines are left-aligend but as a whole the subtitle should of course be centered within the video frame, with the top line not starting before the em dash of the bottom line.


(click to enlarge)

That's what I personally consider "most aesthetic" and easiest to read.



I'm quite sure the main reason for putting a dash in front of both lines is rather just a technical shortcoming because it is easier to format this way. But of course it also depends on what the viewer is expecting and used to.

@von Suppé

is in version 3.4 change log.

boxing is this:




you can add tags manually (<BoxSingleLine>) and (<BoxMultiLine> to the lines to get the effect shown in the image above.

is a black box on background subtitle, you can have lines with black box on background and without them in same subtitle.

this only on sub image based.

this is great, but only can do this manually or in export window.

And in export window not work very well because the effect only work in one line whatever more lines you add the effect

I use this in idx/sub and I need this on context menu like italic tag and others

this effect is useful when you have hardsubs on video.

About the dialogues and hyphen, try File - Plugins - "Dialogue one hyphen only".
The rules regarding one or two hyphens might be different depending on language I think...

@mood: In export you can choose default "Border style" incl. "box single line" or "one box".
The list view (and hence the list view context menu) in the export will be improved with Ctrl+a for select all, ctrl+d for de-select + ctrl+shif+i for inverse selection. Changing selection will also be much faster (was very slow previously).

Nikse, you're willing to take a look at my 2 latest brewings here : https://github.com/Betsy25/subtitlee...its/My-Fixes-2

I'm a complete noob in C#, but I'm pretty sure you'll understand what I'm trying to do. (Regarding the dash cases followed by and or or)

@Nikse555

thanks, but the "Border style" applies to all lines and I do not want to apply the style to all lines, only the lines that I choose.

In export window the boxing effect only work for one line, if you applie more than one line, the effect you applie on line before disappears, the tags <BoxSingleLine> or <BoxMultiLine> still there but without effect.

@Betsy25: I'll take a look... sorry I've looked earlier (was on vacation).

@mood: thx, a bug - hopefully fixed now (on Github and in this portable beta - http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip )

Font settings not follwed when renderinbg BD sup

Greetings Nik.

Having trouble getting the BD sup to follow the font settings defined in ass subtitles. The preview panel seems to work fine, but the sup created uses only one font. Is this a known issue?

Many thanks and best regards.
