00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.500
DEVELOPER: I need to explain
to the client why their
subtitles look broken.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.200
CLIENT: The text is all
on one line and it goes
way past the edge of the screen.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.000
DEVELOPER: That's because
you pasted your entire script
into one subtitle block.

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:16.000
CLIENT: Isn't that how
subtitles work? You just
put all the words in there?

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:20.500
DEVELOPER: No. Each block should
be 1-2 lines maximum. About
42 characters per line is ideal.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.000
CLIENT: Can ConvertICO fix this?

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:27.000
DEVELOPER: ConvertICO converts formats.
Line length is a "you" problem.
