************* Subtitle Studio Manual ****************
=====================================================
WARRANTY : Use this program at your own risk.
Author takes no responsibility of damages
done using this program.
Fine. We can start.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENT
1. Supported Formats
2. Opening a Subtitle File
3. Framerate Conversions
4. Time <-> Frames Conversions
5. Joining Files
6. Splitting Files
7. Setting Delay
8. Creating Your Own subtitles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE : ALL VALUES must be written CORRECTLY : Time Values - H:M:S.DDD
* e.g. 0:0:1.105 or 0:-25:1.203
Frame Values - F
* e.g. 456 or 63745
!!! When not respecting this you can see NICE error screens !!!
!!! or damage your subtitles. !!!
==================================================================================
1. Supported Formats
* This Program Supports
1. SubRip (*.SRT)
* Defines Subtitles with Time
2. MicroDVD (*.SUB)
* Defines Subtitles with Frames (Framerate Change Desync Possible)
3. SubViewer 2.x (*.SUB)
* Defines Subtitles with Time
NOTE : I planed to implement SubViewer 1 support too, but it's time
definition was too stupid (Whole Seconds only).
I recommend not to use it.
==================================================================================
2. Opening a Subtitle File
On the right side you can see the content of currently opened
file. Subtitle Studio (SS) can work with only one opened file.
To open a file press the OPEN button in the upper right corner.
==================================================================================
3. Framerate Conversions
Not every movie is grabbed at same framerate. DVD's are
mostly 25 or 30 FPS but there are ex. 15 FPS ASF Files too.
If your downloaded subtitle file doesn't match your video,
their framerates may not be identitcal. To correct this
you can use SS like this :
1. Open the subtitle file.
2. If you know the subtitle's source framerate
select it in INPUT FILE -> FPS combo box.
Or you can press the INPUT FILE -> FPS from Video
button to get FPS directly from video file.
3. In OUTPUT FILE -> FPS select target video's framerate
( you can use OUTPUT FILE -> FPS from Video too )
4. You can see that the values are changed.
5. In OUTPUT FILE -> Output File Format Select
a format (in framerate conversions i recommend to
select output format similar to input format)
6. Click Save.
That's it.
Another Example :
I have a DivX Video Matrix grabbed from DVD at unknown framerate
with subtitles . My friend has ASF Matrix at unknown framerate.
Subtitles don't match.
1. Open matrix.sub
2. INPUTFILE -> FPS From Video : Select my MATRIX.AVI (DIVX)
3. OUTPUTFILE -> FPS From Video : Select friend's MATRIX.ASF (ASF)
4. Now I can see that the conversion will be in 25/15
5. Save converted sub -> MATRIX2.SUB
6. That's it.
NOTE : When using SubRip or SubViewer 2.x framerate conversions are not needed.
==================================================================================
4. Time <-> Frames Conversions
This case occures when converting [SRT, SubViewer 2.x] --> SUB (MDVD)
Do it like this :
1. Open Subtitle File
2. If Converting Time Subtitles > * in OUTPUTFILE -> FPS select
target framerate or push
FPS from Video
* Click Frames ( Mode )
If converting Frame Subtitles > * in INPUTFILE -> FPS select
the source video's framerate or push
FSP from Video
* Click Seconds ( Mode )
3. Select OutPut Format
* If Converted to Frames, select MicroDVD SUB
* If Converted to Time, select SubRip or SubViewer 2.x
4. Click Save
==================================================================================
5. Joining Files
Sometimes you need to join two or more files. Do it like this :
1. Open The First File
2. Click Join And Select The Second File
NOTE : I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO JOIN SUBTITLES IN SAME FORMAT
3. Joining Form appears...
4. If Modify Values is checked the second file's values will be
recomputed and appended at the end.
If you want the second file to be connected some time later,
set the time in the GAP editing box and press Preview to check
the changes
5. If everything is OK press JOIN button.
That's it.
==================================================================================
6. Splitting Files
If you have a big subtitle file and want to split it into two or more
smaller files do it like this :
1. Open the First File.
2. Prepare everything as you want to save it.
3. Click SPLIT
4. A New Window Appears...
5. Select where you want to split the data and click Split.
* or write the time you want to split after into the
Split After editing box and press Preview to check if it
is ok. The nearest match will be selected.
* or click Split After Video Ends, select a video file and
subtitles will split in the time when the video ends.
6. If everything is set click SPLIT
==================================================================================
7. Setting Delay
Set the delay type ( Mode ) and enter delay value into the Delay editing box
and press Apply.
==================================================================================
8. Creating Your Own Subtitles
It is very easy to create your own subtitles in every format.
Use the ADD, EDIT, INSERT and DELETE buttons.
You can perform all actions mentioned with this self made subtitles.
