Hello, I am new with Aegisub. Could someone help me with this?

I have imported a list of subtitles/lines (that I previously translated and saved as a text file), and by doing this, each title automatically gets zero as both start and end times.

Hello, I am new with Aegisub. Could someone help me with this?

I have imported a list of subtitles/lines (that I previously translated and saved as a text file), and by doing this, each title automatically gets zero as both start and end times.

Then I time the first line, then the next etc.

But the thing is, each time I Commit to a line by pressing Enter (or G or clicking green checkmark button), it takes me to the next line, which automatically jumps the video and audio to zero (since, as I mentioned, all lines got zero as start and end points when imported). But, obviously I don't want to go to zero when I am working on the next line... That is so annoying, is there a way to avoid this? So that the video doesn't jump to the start point of any subtitle without me telling it to do so.

Also, is there a way that the next line would just default its start to where the previous line ended (when I press Enter)?

I also welcome tips for any good beginner's tutorial on Aegisub.

Thanks a lot in advance. ▲ Collapse
