retime-captions-to-words

To fix SRT caption timing, this Skill snaps SRT cue starts to the nearest word timestamps from a whisper word-timestamps file within a specified tolerance. It recomputes end times to preserve the original cue duration unless an overlap occurs.

The best way to align SRT cue starts is running a script that matches them to whisper word timestamps within a set tolerance. This corrects timing discrepancies so captions land accurately on word boundaries before a video goes live.

Yes, you need whisper word timestamps and an SRT file as input to correct caption timing. The Skill relies on the word-level timing data from the whisper file to snap SRT cue starts to the correct word boundaries.

When snapping SRT cue starts, quality checks ensure no cue starts after its end time and no cue overlap occurs. The process also validates that the whisper words file is well-formed before applying timing corrections.

Captions overlap after adjusting SRT start times when recomputed end times intersect subsequent cues. The Skill recomputes end times to preserve original duration but applies quality checks to prevent and manage any overlap.

Yes, you can preserve original SRT cue duration while aligning caption starts. The Skill recomputes end times to maintain the original duration, adjusting only if an overlap with another cue occurs.
