Timeline

The timeline displays the source target and its converted subtitles.

It also displays a reference track, if one is selected.

 

Two movies can be displayed. They are usually associated with the conversion anchors.

The movies are only displayed if the subtitler has a reel active.

 

Click a movie to make it active. Once activated, you can move it.

 

 

Dual movie

The dual movie allows to synchronize two movies visually.

The two movies have different frame rates, and once you have synchronize them, you can use the same conversion factor to stretch subtitles.

 

Monitor 1 displays the original movie. Monitor 2 displays your project's movie.

 

You need to spot the movies and find the same visual frame in both movies at the beginning of the movie. That is a visual anchor. Once found, click "set start", and link the monitors. Then spot movie 1, and check if movie 2 follows correctly.

Spot movie 2 and find the right anchors for your subtitles.
