Hello,
I'm subtitling a rap video clip. The whole subtitle file comprises about 85 subtitles and as from the 26th the subtitles don't appear on the screen anymore. I'm using it Subtitle Workshop V. 2.51.
Thanks for helping me

It is easier to tell where the problem is, if we see the subtitle...
Upload it somewhere and give a link.

Thanks for your reply even if i quite don't understand what you mean. Ok here is what I did: I took a rap video, I found its lyrics then it turned it into a subtitle file, I loaded it in Subtitle Workshop. I started working on it well : all the subtitles were displayed normally but I noticed that from the 26th the subtitles don't appear on the screen, yet you can see the texts.

Alors en Français, comme c'est dans la section française...
J'y comprends pas grand-chose non plus: les sous-titres n'apparaissent pas à l'écran, mais on peut voir les textes... ?!?

Avant tout, ouvrir le fichier .srt avec un éditeur de textes (Notepad, Word...).
Chaque ligne doit exactement avoir le format (exemple avec ¶=retour de ligne):

Code: Select all

12¶ 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,671¶ "If my parents could stand the bee stings,¶ I can stand them, too."¶ ¶ 13¶ 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,678¶ After all I am not a softie.¶ ¶
Le formatage est strict. Bien vérifier les lignes de sous-titre 25, 26 et 27.
Erreurs classiques: '->' au lieu de '-->', point au lieu de virgule dans le 'timecode', zéro ou deux retours de ligne entre lignes de sous-titre, un espace après le numéro de ligne ou entre deux lignes de sous-titre, deux numéros de ligne ne se suivent pas...

Ensuite, utiliser un logiciel récent qui supporte l'encodage UTF-8. Je conseille Subtitle Edit.
