I’m not affiliated, just a happy customer!

I normally check with a waveform monitor, it’s a faff but you know for sure – but I’ve not had one rejected using this plug-in. I usually give it one more line for luck.

Don’t forget also – your broadcaster may have required timings for a word count. In the UK they’re sticklers for this, I once had an ad rejected by BACS (the UK advertising compliance people) because a 5 frame fade was at the beginning of a caption, making the caption 5 frames too short in their eyes. Good job I had an understanding client.
