Summary0003094: Loading 2 subtitles
Description

Sometimes we are asked to do DCP's with 2 language subtitling. When I load 2 srt / sub / ass files the second one always drops at the end of the timeline. So I have to manually position it at the start of the timeline to take the correct timecodes. Also it makes the DCP longer, when it drops at the end of the timeline.

Additional Information

It is not a big bug. We can workaround...

It's hard to know whether it's more common to want the current behaviour, or the behaviour you suggest. I guess it could be an option.

I think if you want to add 2 subtitles with different languages, with the same timecode, it should load in the timeline in parallel sequences, and not one after the other... But, maybe my logic is not so logical... :)

It's a good point - though with some subtitle file types it's not clear what the language is, so there might need to be some guesswork.

Actually it doesn't matter what languages are, if you know from the name of the file... Also doesn't matter in the DCP name also, cause you can rename any DCP with a custom name.... I think important is when loading 2 different subtitles with the same timecodes, to load correctly in the timeline. Thanks for your answers!
