Subtitle Workshop: Error on “Join Subtitles” command

Posted on by

In Subtitle Workshop, trying to use the Join tool to join two SAMI files and recalculate the timings would result in this error every time:

The following error (EConvertError) was derived from object TfrmJoin (frmJoin): 
"" is not a valid floating point value"

The solution is: open each of the original SAMI files in turn and make sure to give them each a value for “input FPS” and “FPS”. Resave each. Then run the Join tool. No more error.
