The Edit Subtitles file list
Edit Subtitles opens to a file list — a queue you build up, from which you open one file at a time into the full editor, or run cleanup/sync in bulk across many files at once.
Adding files
Two buttons in the header:
- Add Videos — pick one or more video files; each is scanned for embedded and external subtitle tracks.
- Add Subtitles — pick subtitle files directly (SRT, VTT, ASS, SSA, SUB, IDX, TTML and more) without needing a video.
You can also drag and drop video or subtitle files onto the window. Each added file appears as a card with a thumbnail icon, filename, format, block count, a checkbox, and (if the file has multiple detectable tracks) a Tracks (N) button.
Opening a file in the editor
Click anywhere on a file's card, or its Open Editor button, to load it into the full editor workspace. If the file has embedded/sidecar tracks but no subtitles loaded yet, a Track Selection dialog appears first so you can pick which one to work with. See The editor workspace for what happens next.
Bulk actions from the list
Check the files you want (or use Check All / Uncheck All), then:
- Clean Selected — opens the same rule-based Cleanup dialog described in The Cleanup tool, applied to every checked file. Each cleaned file is saved to disk automatically as soon as it's processed.
- Sync Selected — opens a bulk version of the Sync dialog (see Syncing to audio) applied to every checked file that has a video track. Subtitle-only files in the selection are automatically skipped and called out in a summary once the run finishes.
Remove All immediately clears every file from the list — there's no confirmation prompt, so use it deliberately.
