Merge Synced Captions
If synced captions are too short in terms of the amount of text they contain, they can be merged together. This
allows for more text per caption. When captions are merged, the duration of the caption does not change.
Captions entered manually cannot be merged.
If merged captions contain more than three lines of text, the text in red does not appear in the
caption.
To merge a caption
1. Right-click on a caption on the timeline.
2. Choose Merge text with previous caption from the context menu. The text is merged and the caption
on the right is removed from the timeline and Caption task page.
