The solution is to use .SRT files instead of .TXT files for captions

You're right..

However, srt file is complicated to make, txt file is easy to use.
i hope this function is needed to apply to Vegas !

Can SubtitleEdit help reformat your captions?

I don't know how to...

 

Usually, I make a script and then record my voice. And entering subtitles manually. Becasue my video in only need my voice. So I need two lines function for Vegas.

SubtilteEdit is good ?

I just put SRT file but it still doesn't work. SRT is only make one line. Not two lines automatically in Vegas

@Kim-HM If you are starting from audio, VEGAS 365 can use speech to text to generate captions and you can set a max line length and enable 2 lines.

If you don't have a subscription Subtitle Edit (free) can use Faster Whisper to do something similar. I'd start with either, generate a SRT file with two lines and then import that into VEGAS if you want to burn them in.

You're right. 365 has the function. I used the function last month, however, It is not good to apply yet. it generate many typo. The speech to text is not enought yet. I guess Subtitleedit will be much better for me.

Interesting. I found it fairly accurate but didn't always work on longer texts. It might depend on what language.

Open AI Whisper is quite good if you use the larger models (in my experience; I only use it for English and Japanese). It also works well with long audio files. (video/ audio to text/ Whisper). I use Purfview's Faster Whisper as it supports NVIDIA CUDA and is fast and uses less VRAM than other implementations.

Perfect !

Whisper is really nice. I just used it and it is 99% matching with my voice. Large v2 is better than Large V3. Amazing. How did you know that ?? Thank you so much.

2 Line Subtitle or SRT problem. Even though the Vegas >transcript>subtitle window shows two lines at the specified width, Generating Titles or Exporting SRT files make only one long line, which is unuseable. Why not use the same line breaks??
