When checked, the app will try to respect the minimum subtitle duration at the expense of the other subtitles in the chain

When splitting and timing subtitles, the number of characters per line and the text lines per subtitle will be respected.

If you check this box, when a line has too many characters, the app will apply the same logic as the “Auto break line”.

Note that this setting will also take into account the punctuation you add in “Line end punctuation” and “Subtitle end punctuation”.
