Full Version: Free frames between titles

In last version of the program I noticed very nice feature: if some titles have overlapping (next title starts before previous ends), then starting frame number of second title is colored red. It helps searching for overlapped titles. Some players/filters ignore such overlapping, some not, so it is always good to avoid it.

I am going even further. I like to have at least 2-3 free frames between two consecutive titles. So, could this feature been expanded to possibility to set minimum distance between two consecutive titles and color such titles (frame numbers) to red, just as with overlapping.

It would be nice if there will be possibility (some command) to repair such errors automatically by changeing second frame number of such titles to be smaller than starting frame number of the next title.

One of reasons: Timeadjuster automatically changes duration of titles (by some rules) to match their length (in characters) by increasing second (ending) frame number in title. Unfortunately sad.gif it does not check, if this new title will overlap the next tile. If there are a few such overlappings, it is not a problem, but sometimes most(!) of titles are overlapped and manual repair is very annoying.

That allows easily fix several subtitles in our SubClub.

Actually I suggest to "clone" this Timeadjuster "repair" option (in some future version). It should work in next manner: duration of every title should be checked using two variable parameters X and Y - at least X seconds, additionally Y seconds per every character in current title. (Default X say 1.0 sec, default Y say 0.05 sec per character). So title of 40 characters should be at least 1.0 + 40*0.05 = 3 sec. Duration of the title can be only extended (not shortened!), but not to overlap next title. Just last check is missing in Timeadjuster.

Here is necessary to know framerate, which can be third parameter, or in simpler case X and Y could be entered just in frames, default X=25-30, default Y=1.0-1.5.

You certainly did the homework happy.gif
