Timing

On the timeline, each cue spans from its start to end time. Adjust the edges so the subtitle follows the speech and remains visible long enough to read.

Review after editing

  1. Start playback a few seconds before the edited point.
  2. Check when the text appears and disappears.
  3. Make sure it stays inside the safe area.
  4. Watch adjacent cues for abrupt jumps.

Saving changes

Click the disk icon in the top bar or press Ctrl+S (โŒ˜S on Mac). The indicator marks unsaved changes. Wait for saving and subtitle rebuilding to finish; if saving fails, retry before closing the page.
