Broken sound wave subtitle timing?

Hi all,

I’m in UE5.5.1 on a fresh project. I added in a sound wave, added the subtitles, set one subtitle to start at 0 seconds, and another at 3 seconds.

Yet, when I run play, both subtitles will be displayed back to back, immediately, no timing whatsoever.

I have subtitles enabled in the project settings. Am I missing something else? Am I doing something wrong? Can anybody else reproduce this? As I cannot find a question about this anywhere.

Thank you!

Hey there!

Have you added a delay to match the 3 second timing in the data table?

There’s a video on youtube by Matt Aspland that I followed my first time with subtitles and it worked like a charm. Unsure if there was a change in 5.5 but I can try it out later if you haven’t resolved it yet!

Doing Subtitles the right way by Matt Aspland correct?

This is a different method of subtitles, one I’ll probably have to end up doing if my problem is a bug and if it will be fixed or not.

My method I’m following is UE’s in built solution into every sound wave asset.

Ticking manual word wrapping fixed it!
