Hi,

I have a problem with subtitle workshop. It automatically delete the line containing only numbers when it's opening. How to solve this peoblem?

Thanks

Can you post a short sample of the subtitle format?

And have you tried latest subtititle workshop beta?

e.g. I have the following subtitles, after opened by subtitle workshop, Line 5,6,7 disappeared, no problem with subtitle creator. I think subtitle workshop treats them as illegal line number and then deleted.

1
00:00:54,499 --> 00:00:58,492
[fireworks exploding]

2
00:01:04,609 --> 00:01:06,702
[crowd clamoring]

3
00:01:12,717 --> 00:01:15,083
[indistinct chatter]

4
00:01:17,455 --> 00:01:19,355
[man] He's in the other room.

5
00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:29,961
1

6
00:01:31,002 --> 00:01:33,835
2

7
00:01:34,172 --> 00:01:37,198
3

8
00:01:37,809 --> 00:01:42,075
- [man] It's a coded message.
- [Gates] It's a Playfair cipher.

Yes, same here.

Work around: put another character at the beginning of the lines, eg:

6
00:01:31,002 --> 00:01:33,835
#2

After you're done in Subtitle Workshop, open the SRT in a text editor and delete all the # before using it for authoring.
