SRT and VTT files start with 0? #18

Closed cjmorrison closed 2 years ago

cjmorrison commented 2 years ago

I am very new to AWS so my apologies if this is already a thing. Can there be an option to start at caption files at an index of 1?

I noticed the files start with an index of 0, However I do not think that is standard and it seems to break things. Including other aws codes like amazon-translate-video-subtitles-captions-translation

The closest thing to authority on the subjects also suggest these typically start at 1. I suspect that many tools expect this format which is why things are breaking.

Hi there, we've added a new parameter (OutputStartIndex) that allows you to specify 0 or 1. You can see some examples of this here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transcribe/latest/dg/subtitles.html#subtitles-how-to.
