Hello, everyone. I am doing a project using Aegisub and some of the client's specifications were:

-Minimum duration: 1 sec.

-Maximum duration: 6 secs.

-100 ms of separation between subtitles.

Is there any way to make Aegisub give a warning when a subtitle does not comply with those specifications? Thank you very much!!

Hello María,

I'm not really Aegisub user but I have the app and found out how to set max. duration to 6 secs. Go to Preferences and find Audio. You'll see default length. Set it to 6000 milisecond which is 6 seconds. When a subtitle exceeds 6 seconds, it turns red. Sending you SS. I can't find the minimum and the gap. But I feel like it's there.

I don't know why I can't add screen shot.
