Problem uploading existing .srt file into Aegisub

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble uploading my client's .srt file into Aegisub: the timecodes are loading into the text column, making it impossible to edit it correctly. I tried uninstalling the program and installing it again, that didn't work. Nothing seems to be wrong with the text file. I've been using this program regularly for a year and never had this problem. Can anyone help?

Thank you,

F.

Check SRT file in Subtitle Edit then edit it to ASS format with a macro Mar 6, 2019

Not sure why Aegisub's parser would go haywire. What's your version, did you update it recently? Just in case, check the source file by loading it in another subtitle editor. If the timecodes are again loaded as subtitles, there might be a formatting issue somewhere in the file (for instance a subtitle ID not properly listed). Whatever the case may be, you can always convert an SRT file into an ASS using a basic macro (jEdit is usually good enough for that kind of task).
