Cue end is at or before its startCue end is at or before its start

What to do next

Compare with the spoken line and restore the actual cue end. Avoid moving every cue to compensate for one malformed interval.

What to share if the problem continues

  • A minimal redacted sample with dates, IDs or segment names retained as needed.
  • The output after checking the source export separately from the viewer app.
