Subtitle Editor
The primary workspace for proofreading subtitle text, adjusting timecodes, and previewing video output.
Overview
The batch subtitle editor is your main workspace for proofreading and editing subtitles. Here you can edit subtitle text line by line, adjust timecodes, preview the video with subtitles, search and replace, and perform batch operations.
Opening the Editor
In the media library, click the "Open Subtitle Editor" button on the right side of a video entry, or click the link in the notification after a task completes.
Interface Layout
The editor interface is divided into three main areas:
- Left — Video list: Displays all videos in the media library. Two tabs let you filter by "All" or "Marked" (videos you've marked done).
- Center top — Video player: Preview the video with subtitle overlay.
- Center bottom / Right — Subtitle editing area: Shows all subtitle entries for line-by-line editing.
Subtitle Display Modes
The "Subtitle Mode" dropdown in the top toolbar lets you switch subtitle display:
- Source Language: Show source-language subtitles only
- Target Language: Show target-language subtitles only
- Bilingual (Default): Show both source and target language
- Subtitles Off: Hide subtitle overlay
Editing Subtitles
Click directly on any subtitle text to edit it. Changes are saved automatically. You can also click "Save Subtitle File" to trigger a manual save.
Search & Replace
A search bar sits at the top of the subtitle list. Type a keyword to highlight matching entries, and use the ↑ / ↓ buttons (or press Enter / Shift + Enter) to jump between matches. Click the find & replace toggle to reveal a replacement field, where you can replace the current match or use "Replace all".
Review Flags
GeekLink flags lines that are worth a closer look so you don't have to read every entry:
- Low conf?: A word the speech recognition wasn't confident about. The flag points to the specific word so you can quickly verify it.
- Break?: A line break that may read awkwardly — for example, one that starts or ends on a function word or splits a fixed phrase.
The "Review flagged" button at the top of the subtitle list shows a count and, when clicked, filters the list to just the flagged lines so you can check them and move on.
Multi-Select Operations
Hold Shift or Cmd and click subtitle entries to multi-select. Once selected, you can:
- Right-click Delete All
- Right-click Merge
- Click the "Re-recognize" button to re-run speech recognition on the selected subtitles
Single Entry Operations (Context Menu)
Right-click on a single subtitle entry to access the following actions:
- Delete: Remove this subtitle entry
- Split: Split one subtitle into two
- Merge with Previous / Next: Merge with an adjacent subtitle
Video Preview Controls
The video player area provides the following controls:
- Playback Speed: 0.5x / 1x / 1.5x / 2x
- Subtitle Position: Toggle the subtitle display position on screen (bottom / top)
- Fullscreen: Toggle a fullscreen preview of the player
- Transcode & Preview: Some video codecs require transcoding before preview
Title Generation
Click "Generate Title" to automatically generate 3 title suggestions based on the subtitle content. You can also use "Generate Titles for All Videos" for batch processing.
Mark as Complete
Each video can be marked as "Complete". Once all videos are marked complete, a "Mark All Complete & Exit" button appears. The marked status affects the reminder logic before export.
Waveform Visualization
The editor displays an audio waveform at the bottom of the interface. The waveform syncs with video playback, letting you visually see where each subtitle segment falls relative to the audio. This helps verify that subtitle timing aligns with the spoken content.
If recognition missed a line, click the "+ Insert subtitle" button at the top-right of the waveform to add a blank subtitle at the playhead position. Shortcut: right-click an empty spot on the waveform to insert one right at that point.
Batch Cleanup
The "Batch Cleanup" dropdown in the toolbar provides the following actions:
- Delete all videos
- Delete all source / target language subtitles
- Delete the current video's source / target language subtitles
