I have a longer video with a transcript that auto generated just fine. When I go to create captions from this transcript, no matter what duration I set for the (attached and highlighted) Minimum Duration parameter, it seems to ignore it and will create caption pieces that are <1 second long, which is almost useless. Am I misundertanding what this parameter does or how to create captions that better handle this?

In my tests, it does not do what is described. I mean, if you set a minimum duration of 6 seconds, and then 1.2 seconds, and the captions are almost exactly the same, that makes no sense.

The test I just did is in a recent Beta version: 23.1.0 Build 33.

That my experience as well. Regardless of what I set the minimum to, I’ll get some short captions that are a second or long.

This is clearly a bug, but i'll add a usability piece to the discussion: 1.2 seconds long is often too long for the style of captioning i want to effect. i am trying to depict one-word-at-a-time captions, and as a rule, words take fractions of seconds for the speaker to say. You can easily fit 5-6 words in 1.2 seconds. If this feature is revisted, that should be taken into account.
