Prepare an SRT file from the timings you already have
SRT is a practical handoff format for many editing workflows. Tell the assistant your source format and where the finished subtitles need to go.

An SRT file is a sequence of caption cues
Each block contains a number, a start and end time, and the text to display. Conversion translates your source into that structure. It should preserve readable text while producing valid cue boundaries.

Say how the captions will be used
An editor import, an accessibility track and a burned-in video can use the same text but have different presentation needs. SRT itself does not reliably carry fonts, colors or word-by-word highlighting. Set visual style in the destination tool or use a video export workflow.
Check before delivery
Open the exported SRT in the destination app. Review line breaks, non-Latin characters, cue overlap and the last caption. If you need new timestamps for untimed song lyrics, create and refine them in LyricTimestamps first.
Questions about this workflow
Can I paste plain lyrics and call them an SRT?
An SRT also needs cue timing. Plain lyrics must be timed before a useful caption export can be made.
Will the SRT contain my font and color choices?
Treat SRT as timed text. Styling support varies, so configure appearance in your editor or burn the captions into a video.
Can I also get other formats?
Ask the assistant for the available formats from the same timing source. Keep a detailed source file alongside simplified delivery formats.
