How to have subtitles end at clip end?

As you can see above, if I create subtitles, they extend from the end of a clip all the way to the next one. Is there a way to disable that?

 

I want it to generate the subtitles like this, so that the subtitles end with the end of the clip:

Is that possible? Am I missing an option somewhere?

Happy to report that this was fixed in the latest update. 24.2.1 (Build 2).EDIT:  it was not.

Could you further describe how you're winding up with this in the first place?

I've had captions extend unexpectedly through silence, so the last spoken words are shown for that segment of time when it should have ended with the last spoken word.  However, I've only had that with a continuous audio source and I simply trim the caption to the correct duration.

Based on your screenshots, I think you'll have to add edits with the Razor tool and then delete the unwanted parts (which may be what you are already doing).

Please see my explanation above. And yes my work around is using the slice tool to cut the subtitle clips at the right end point, was just hoping there is a way to not spend a couple minutes doing that every time.

I know it will take some time, but a step by step description of how you are getting this result will allow for it to be reproduced and addressed.

If you have content in the gaps instead of gaps, does it work correctly? Why do you have long stretches of black?

So what you see there is my way of mapping out videos with different headers and different CTAs, the long gaps are just space between the different scripts. This is my composition before I seperate the different versions out into individual compositions for mass exporting.
