Technical Details
Format Structure Conversion
Convertify parses ASS format’s complex [Script Info], [V4+ Styles], and [Events] sections, extracting dialogue lines while stripping advanced formatting codes like pos, an, c, and t commands to create clean SRT entries with sequential numbering and standard timing format.
Timestamp Processing
Converts ASS centisecond-precision timestamps (H:MM:SS.CC format) to SRT millisecond format (HH:MM:SS,mmm –> HH:MM:SS,mmm), maintaining accurate synchronization while adapting to SRT’s comma-separated time notation standard.
Text Formatting Cleanup
Intelligently removes ASS override tags including font specifications (fn), size controls (fs), color codes (c&H), alignment commands (an), and animation effects while preserving essential text content and basic formatting like italics where supported in SRT.
