DivXLand Media Subtitler is not difficult to use.

Creation

You can create a new subtitle file manually from the File > New menu; but the recommended procedure is to manually create a text file (using a plain text editor such as Notepad) containing all the dialogs spoken in your movie in order of occurrence, one line below the other. To split a caption in two lines, insert a “|” character (without quotes) in the position where the line should be split. Then save this file as a plain text document (txt file).

Notice, you can also use an existing subtitle file (in one of the supported formats) to modify the contents and timing of the captions, instead of creating a brand new file.

When opening a subtitle file, Media Subtitler will automatically apply the correction rules defined at the Timing Management section from the General Settings dialog window, if the current settings are set to apply them on file load only.

Synchronization

This is the process of synchronizing the text file captions with the desired video file. Simply open the target text or subtitle file containing the video file captions from the File menu in DivXLand Media Subtitler and then open the media file to be subtitled.

To start synchronizing the captions with the video, select the starting caption and hit the player’s Play button. Let the video play, and when the selected text line is about to be spoken in the video, press and hold the Apply button until the line was spoken completely. The next line will be automatically selected to use it next.

You can also use the Manual mode, in which you must use the Start, Next and End buttons to do the same thing. In this mode you can use the available keyboard shortcuts defined at the Keyboard shortcuts section from the General Settings dialog to control the video playback and the captions application process.

To completely synchronize an existing subtitle file with incorrect timing, it is recommended to remove the entire timing (from the Edit menu) before starting the resynch process.

Preview

At any moment you can select the Preview option and start playing the video to see the result of the synchronization process. To automatically select the applied subtitle during preview mode, enable the Follow subtitles during preview option at the Subtitle Preview Settings panel. During preview mode you can add, edit and remove captions on the fly.

Notice: The preview mode requires a high CPU usage, therefore, it is recommended to close unused programs running in the background to make the media playback smoother.
