SRT(1)

💖 NAME 💖

srt — the Srt subtitle editor, bestie. it's giving ✨subtitles✨ but make it manageable.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe. the usage goes like this:

usage: srt [-h] [-i] [-e encoding] [-v]
       {shift,rate,split,break} ... file

and what does it actually DO? it can either shift, split or change the frame rate. that's the whole personality. 🎀

🌸 positional arguments 🌸

• file — yeah bestie, you gotta hand it a file. that's the whole thing. 🫶

💅 optional arguments 💅

• -h, --help — shows the help message and dips out. classic. 😌
• -i, --in-place — edits the file in-place, saving a backup as file.bak. > lowkey important: this does not work for the split command. do not try it. i'm warning you fr fr 💀
• -e encoding, --output-encoding encoding — changes the file encoding. super useful for players that only accept latin1 subtitles (rude of them, honestly). the full list of supported encodings lives here: http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings 🌈
• -v, --version — shows the program's version number and exits. quick little vibe check on what you're running. ⭐

🦋 commands 🦋

so the commands you can pick from are {shift,rate,split,break} and here's the tea on each one:

• shift — shifts subtitles by a specified time offset. running late? not anymore. ⏰
• rate — converts subtitles from one frame rate to another. glow-up for your timings. 🔥
• split — splits a file into multiple parts. (and again: not compatible with -i, no cap.) ✂️
• break — breaks long lines. because nobody wants a subtitle wall of text. 📏
