How to batch-extract subtitles from an entire TV season
Doing one episode is easy; doing twenty-four is a chore. AI Subtitle Studio's batch mode processes entire folders: it scans every episode, extracts the subtitle tracks, and can transcribe, translate or sync each file — unattended, while you do something else.
What batch mode can do per episode
- Batch extract — pull the first subtitle track out of every selected video (one track per file), saving .srt/.ass/.sup next to each episode.
- Batch transcribe — generate AI subtitles for every episode that has no subtitle track.
- Batch translate — translate a season's worth of SRT files to another language in one queue.
- Batch sync — re-time every episode's subtitle against its own audio track.
Every step runs locally and sequentially through the queue, with per-file progress and results in the Dashboard.
Sidecar detection keeps things organized
The scanner pairs each video with subtitle files already sitting in the same folder (shown with a green “External” badge), so you can see at a glance which episodes still need subtitles, which have embedded-only tracks, and which are done. Output files follow the episode's filename, which media servers like Plex and Jellyfin pick up automatically.
Batch-process a season
- Drop the season folder in Drag the whole folder into the Dashboard. Every episode is scanned and listed with its video, audio and subtitle track counts.
- Select the episodes Tick the checkboxes on the files you want (or select all).
- Choose the batch action Batch Extract for embedded tracks — or batch transcribe/translate/sync depending on what the season needs.
- Let it run The queue processes every file one by one. Come back to a folder of ready subtitle files named to match each episode.
