Previously IN/OUT fields always had to contain a timecode value. However, the value 00:00:00:00 was previously interpreted as invalid and was not displayed, and all TC operations such as TC offset did not change the field. From version 11.29 the IN/OUT TC field can either be empty (invisible) or contain a value. The TC 00:00:00:00 is now also valid and the TC offset to 00:00:00:00 is then also applied. Because most subtitle file formats do not support storing undefined timecode into a file, and a valid timecode value must be stored into a subtitle file, from version 11.29 FAB Subtitler stores the value 00:00:00:00 into the subtitle file for timecode fields with undefined timecode.
