Silences in transcription and subtitle files will be skipped if they’re over a certain length. “Skipped” means that they will not need any captions or transcripts and that they won’t be playable. For every skipped silence, the progress bar (and the audio or video) jumps to the next audible and transcribable part. You’ll notice if your file contains skips, because in that case the progress bar will have “thinner” bits that are not clickable or playable.
