Annotation Edit fcpxml import crashed with no warning FCPX (10.1.4)

I as doing subtitles for one of our projects, and I was using Annotation Edit - great software by the way for subs work.

When done, I exported PNGs and a fcpxml from AE to import into FCPX.

In FCPX I selected Import/XML and it crashed...

After some troubleshooting, I figured I had one sub with a duration of zero.

So, instead of crashing without telling you anything when you import a XML file with such error, it would be great if FCPX were to pop a message with some explanation.

"Entry error, line XX - cannot import fcpxml", would be sooo nice for troubleshooting and saving time.

Adobe Encore Error 11 on BDR Build

Got this dreaded error today building the BD image in Adobe Encore:

Blu-ray Error: "internal error 11 (software internal error: ..\..\Private\GraphicsEncoders\PGProcessor.cpp, line 236)", Code: "11", Note: "subtitle set too close".

The fix is to make sure subtitles have 5 frames or more space between them.  Darn, I thought the belgium sub people had that covered...   
Back to Annotation Edit.

Reinhard explained it to me in an email:
Set Gaps to at least 5 frames in "General Preferences".
Use the "Fix gaps" or "Fix gaps end" function for all selected subtitles.
And... It's working! Thank you Reinhard!

- By the way, I like to add a dummy sub entry at the beginning of each reel. That helps with merging tracks and making sure subs are keeping sync - peace of mind if u will. BUT I need to remember to trash them dummies before building. So 5 reels = 5 dummies to delete.
