Question

Captions line spacing is not consistent

When generatin captions sometimes it shows two lines with only a couple words on the top line and several on the bottom.  Character count is set to 45.  Sure seems like it should show as many characters as it can on the first line and wrap those that can't fit onto the second line.  Ultimately it would be great to give us control to set character counts for both line of a multiple line Caption.  Also...when will we be able to upload our own script that the Transcription process can use for more accurate Transriptions?  Thanks!!!

I have not played with this recently. As you have, I had difficulty predicting what choices (in the Transcript tab, Create captions dialogue) would produce the best results.

 

Note that somewhere between the 2021 and 2022 versions, the max characters was increased from 42 to 72.

 

My belief is that each of the variables (max length in chars, min duraton in secs, gap between, and single or double lines) will affect results.

 

Let us know what you find.
