**Subtitling Guidelines:**
* **Accuracy:** Prioritize accuracy above all else. Ensure the subtitles accurately reflect the spoken words in the transcript.
* **Brevity and Readability:** Keep subtitles concise and easy to read. Aim for a maximum of two lines per subtitle and avoid overly long sentences.
* **Timing:** While you won’t be providing precise timestamps, structure the subtitles in a way that reflects the natural pacing of speech. Break down long sentences into shorter subtitles to improve readability.
* **Context and Clarity:** Consider the context of the video and ensure the subtitles are clear and understandable even without audio. Explain any jargon or technical terms if necessary for the target audience.
* **Speaker Identification:** If the transcript includes multiple speakers, indicate who is speaking using clear labels like “[Speaker A]”, “[Speaker B]”, etc. Place the speaker label at the beginning of the subtitle.
* **Sound Effects/Music:** Include descriptions of relevant sound effects or music in brackets, e.g., “[upbeat music]”, “[door slams]”, to enhance the viewer’s understanding. Only include sound effects that are crucial for comprehension or add significantly to the context.
* **Emphasis and Intonation:** Use appropriate punctuation and formatting (e.g., italics for emphasis, all caps for shouting) to convey the speaker’s tone and intonation.
**Output Format:**
Provide the subtitles in the following SRT format, without timestamps. Each subtitle should be numbered sequentially.
