Fix raised subtitles

If the subtitle has empty line(s) at the bottom this command will delete it and shift the whole text to the bottom line.

Delete empty rows

The command can be used to delete empty rows between text lines like in the following example:

Subtitle Text Line 1
(empty line)
Subtitle Text Line 2

Delete extra spaces

Removes all extra spaces no matter if they occur to be inserted in the beginning, the end or between the words of  a subtitle.

Delete spaces before punctuation

Deletes any space found before punctuation marks (comma, full stop, exclamation mark, question mark, semicolon) and adds space after the punctuation mark if it wasn't there initially.

Delete subtitles with empty cues

Deletes any subtitles that don't have In-, Out- or In- and Out cues.

Delete subtitles with no text

Deletes the subtitles that don't have any text.

Snap subtitles to top/bottom safe area

Raised subtitles are moved to the corresponding Safe Area margin (top or bottom) depending on text's presentation on screen: if text appears in the bottom half of the screen it will be moved to the bottom line, i.e will become bottom aligned, and if text appears in the top half of the screen, it will be moved to the top line as top aligned.

Move raised subtitles to top

This option can be used only when Snap subtitles to top/bottom safe area is enabled and modifies its behavior and application. It affects all raised subtitles, regardless of their exact position on the screen, and will move them to the top.

Horizontal Alignment of the affected subtitles can be also modified from the respective drop-down menu but it will not be modified by default (No Change).

Snap subtitles to left, right or center safe area

Horizontally shifted subtitles will be moved to the default positions of the left, right or center margins configured from the Safe Area menu. Each text line will be repositioned individually to the closest margin.

Only subtitles that go outside of safe area

The option becomes available only after enabling "Snap subtitles to left, right or center safe area" and will fix only those subtitles that cross the safe area margins. The fix command will try and preserve the original layout of the lines in a subtitle whenever possible and will simply snap them to the closest margin.
