Subtitler

Launch the subtitler.

 

The subtitler offers 3 different ways to start a project:

•Create a new empty project.

•Create a new project using the wizard (recommended).

•Import a subtitles file.

 

Wizard

Open the project wizard by clicking menu File / Project wizard.

 

Fill in the fields in the wizard. The most important ones are:

•Title

•Frame rate

•Base time

•Duration

 

 

All these values can be changed later on, however, there are recommendations:

•Choose the right frame rate already at this point. To change it later may affect your times.

•If you do not know the right duration of your project, enter a large duration.

 

Track

To be able to create subtitles, you need to create a track first.

There are different kinds of tracks, but in most of the cases you will work with subtitles tracks.

 

To create a subtitles track, use menu Track / Create / Add new empty subtitles track.

 

Explorer

In the explorer tab you can see your projects and the tracks you have created.

 

You can right-click an element to display its context menu.

 

 

Focus

If you want to create subtitles, you need to activate the track first.

Only one track can be active at a time. The active one is displayed in the explorer with a red highlight.

 

 

To activate a track, double-click its icon, or click Use in its context menu.

 

Subtitles

There are several ways to create a subtitle:

•In the timeline, right-click on the track to display its context menu, and select Add new subtitle.

•Or use shortcut F5.

 

 

Once you have created a subtitle, you can use the subtitle editor tab to modify it.
