Subtitle File Style Guide (SRT)

Write a subtitle style guide for SRT files on this channel. Consistent line breaks, timing, and no captions that spoil readability. CHANNEL Languages: [LIST] Video type: [TALKING HEAD | TUTORIAL | INTERVIEW] Max characters per line: [42] Max lines: [2] Reading speed target: [CPS OR "comfortable"] Names of speakers when off-screen: [YES] RULES 1) Timing: a caption appears when the phrase starts, does not cross a shot if the thought can break, and stays long enough to read. Minimum on-screen time. 2) Line breaks at a phrase, not at a fixed character if that splits a name or a number. 3) Numbers, dates, and UI labels: how we write them so they match the screen. 4) Sound other than speech: [MUSIC], [LAUGHTER], only when it matters. Do not caption every breath. 5) Profanity and the policy I state: [POLICY]. 6) What a translator receives: this guide plus a glossary [TERMS]. Include three before/after examples of a bad line break. Do not write the whole transcript unless I pasted it.
