Highlights in this release

Linebreak adjustment as a delivery method

Added as a new delivery method in Plint Core, the "Auto linebreak adjustment" option attempts to fix CPL errors by shifting words within the same clip up and down. It adheres to the "Maximum characters per line" rule for the Report tool in use. 

An example use case might be when a subtitle is imported from elsewhere, with different CPL rules than the current requirements. Before manual conformance begins, adding a "Auto linebreak adjustment" job after the import can solve many of the linebreak problems before the manual step. 

What it does:

  • Identify clips that exceed the CPL (Maximum characters per line) value from the Report tool

  • Add linebreaks based on the following priority

    • Where possible, use punctuation (full stop, comma, question mark …)

    • Strive for similar line length

    • If possible, make two lines into one

      • Unless speaker hyphens are used

  • Do not remove empty lines after subtitle text

    • (Used for positioning in some cases)
