Main Subtitle Area

 
Main Subtitle Area
 
This is where most of the work is done. In this area you are able to enter and edit subtitle text, subtitle IDs and subtitle time cues. You can add comments and also preview the actual layout of a subtitle on the screen when in Presentation Mode. You may easily navigate in this area by using several methods: dragging with the third mouse (scroll) button; dragging with the left mouse button over the black vertical line at the left side; pressing PageUp and PageDown...

The text you see here represents the actual look of your subtitles (note: some styles and formatting are not supported by some file export formats). If to broadcast, export video with subtitles, or do any form of Live, this is exactly how they will be displayed. Please refer to the related pages regarding the Font, Style, Region.
 
All the data in all the columns is editable. The same way you can edit text, you can also alter the timings, subtitle number/ID or a comment. Comments are a useful and convenient way to leave a note, either to yourself or to anybody else. They are commonly used to point to something that needs checking, possible error or needs improvement.
 
Subtitles containing comments will be marked by a red flag, both in the main area as well as in the Mini Subtitles (Minititles). When in Presentation Mode, a Comment will be in the upper left area. In addition to the existing functionalities, another helpful notification has been added - on the Minititles area, a subtitle containing no text will have dots mark (...) for convenience.
