Before you can follow this guide, you should already have imported your subtitles to your Item. You can read more about how to add subtitles to an Item here.
A sequence consists of a number of audio and/or video tracks, each with a number of segments. Each segment has a position in the timeline (in and out) and references a specific interval and track of an item.
