How it works
Cues with no visible text after removing HTML tags are removed. Cues that contain only whitespace, only a style tag or only inline HTML are removed. The remaining cues are renumbered from 1 and their timings are preserved.
When to use it
- After machine translation left blank cues.
- After removing text-only cues from a bilingual track.
- Before uploading to a player that rejects empty cues.
Limitations
- Cues with only a hyphen or a single punctuation mark are kept.
- Content type is auto-detected from the file header — SRT and VTT are both supported.
