I do this with a text factory.
First step.
Grep: ^(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{3}) -->
(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{3})\n([^\n]*[^.\n])\n([^\n]+(?:\n[^\n]+)*)\n+(\d+)\n(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{3})
--> (\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{3})\n((?-i)[^A-Z][^\n]{0,15})\n
Replace: \1 --> \6\n\3\n\n\4\n\5 --> \6\n\7\n
Description:Replace the second part of the top timestamp with the second
part of the bottom timestamp, but only if below the second timestamp there
is a solitary word without a capital letter, or a sentence containing a
maximum of 15 characters
Second step:
Grep: ^([^\n]+)(?<!\.)\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n((?-i)[^A-Z][^\n]{0,15})\n\n
Replace: \1 \2\n\n
Description:Move single word without capital letter incl. punctuation mark
to the end of the 4th line up, if this line does not end with a full stop.
Does the same with multiple words that are up to 15 characters together.
Works fine with subtitles in srt format.
