Captions file (SRT) fine, but errors when importing to Final *** Pro

No, we don't need separate srt for different voices, we just have to merge them in such a way that they do not conflict.

For example, instead of

3

00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:19,100

[federico_acosta]: I like betting betting

4

00:00:19,028 --> 00:00:19,268

[timo]: Oh,

you could either shorten them a bit (note that they overlap by 72 milliseconds!)

or you could merge them - say

3

00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:19,268

[federico_acosta]: I like betting betting

[timo]: Oh,

or similar.

I ran a quick Python script to find all the overlapping captions.

The output from said script is here:

I have almost completed an adaptation of my script that is able to produce a new file with the overlaps resolved, by shortening the overlapping captions' durations, eg, by turning this:

3

00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:19,100

[federico_acosta]: I like betting betting

4

00:00:19,028 --> 00:00:19,268

[timo]: Oh,

into this:

3

00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:19,100

[federico_acosta]: I like betting betting

4

00:00:19,101 --> 00:00:19,268

[timo]: Oh,

If you are interested, I can try to put the finishing touches into this, and I will be glad to share.

Two captions cannot overlap.

Would it be possible to share the srt file? I would not mind taking a look at it, but I won’t be able to do so until later today.
