🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents subtitleeditor briefly. and here's the thing β€” subtitleeditor is a GUI program, so most of its options are chillin' in the GUI interface itself, not on the command line. no cap 🫢

subtitleeditor is a GTK+3</> tool to edit subtitles. you can use it to create brand new subtitles from scratch, or as a tool to transform, edit, correct and refine subtitles that already exist. it's giving ✨glow up for your subtitle files✨ honestly iconic.

πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below, and yes we're doing all of them, no skipping πŸ™ˆ

  • -?, -h, --help β€” show summary of options. the classic "help me bestie" move.
  • --help-all β€” show all help options. the deluxe version πŸ‘‘
  • --help-debug β€” show debug options if debug support was compiled in. if it wasn't compiled in, well… πŸ’€
  • --help-gst β€” show GStreamer options.
  • --help-gtk β€” show Gtk+ options.

🌈 Application Options: 🌈

  • -f, --file=FILE β€” open a subtitle file (or multiple subtitled files: `-f FILE1 -f FILE2 --file=FILE3 …`).
Positional arguments are treated as implicitly using this option, so "subtitleeditor -f FILE" is equivalent to "subtitleeditor FILE". same energy, same result πŸ’«
  • -p, --profile=NAME β€” the name of the configuration profile. default value is β€œdefaultβ€œ. subtitleeditor follows the XDG Base Directory Specification, so unless $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, profiles are typically stored in `~/.config/subtitleditor/` πŸ“
  • -e, --encoding=ENCODING β€” encoding used to open subtitle files.
  • -v, --video=FILE β€” open video file. 🎬
  • -w, --waveform=FILE β€” open waveform file. 〰️
  • -k, --keyframes=FILE β€” open keyframes file.
  • --display=DISPLAY β€” X display to use, if still run under X</> πŸ–₯️
