Original synthetic subtitle exercise — Video Tools Compared, September 14, 2026

This authored script defines the intended text and timing for the exercise.
It is not a transcript of an existing video or an export from Descript.
No media synchronization or accessibility compliance is demonstrated.

Cue 1 | 00:00:00,000 to 00:00:02,000 | Check the subtitle file.
Cue 2 | 00:00:02,000 to 00:00:04,000 | Then verify it against the video.
Cue 3 | 00:00:04,000 to 00:00:06,000 | Keep a copy of the original.

The before file deliberately replaces the first numeric identifier with
"intro", reverses cue 2's time range, and removes cue 3's text.
The after file restores the exact values defined above.

Use the before and after files in Video Tools Compared's existing subtitle checker.
The defaults are 20 characters per second and 42 characters per line;
these are configurable review thresholds, not a delivery standard.
A structural pass cannot prove words, timing, positioning, readability,
or compatibility with a real target player. Check real files against media.
