Control Panel

What this panel is for

The Control Panel (tools column) is the workflow hub: batch edits, AI jobs, OCR extract, preview style, and loading a 2nd SRT support track.

Editor tab

Select one or more cues in the Subtitle Panel. Use Quick tools on the row, or Functions in the Editor tab. For batch fixes, pick scope: Selected, From selected, or All. Load 2nd SRT from the Editor footer when you need a support track. Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Enter splits at the caret. Compare layout shows the 2nd list beside the main Subtitle Panel. Apply timing removes other main cues that overlap that range for one apply.

• Undo — Ctrl/Cmd+Z
• Redo — Ctrl/Cmd+Y or Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z
• Add cue — insert after selection
• Merge — with previous, or consecutive picks
• Split — at caret or playhead
• Flip lines — swap line 1 and 2
• Set start — set cue start from playhead ([)
• Set end — set cue end from playhead (])
• Speaker dash — toggle “- ” prefixes
• Apply — copy 2nd SRT at playhead (Ctrl/Cmd+E)
• Delete — remove selected cue(s)
• Merge overlapping — combine overlaps; add speaker dashes
• Merge similar — near-duplicate consecutive cues
• Add periods — missing end punctuation
• Break line — split long lines
• Remove empty — delete blank cues
• Shift −100 ms — nudge timing earlier for the scope
• Shift +100 ms — nudge timing later for the scope
• Extend start −50 ms — pull start earlier by 50 ms
• Extend end +50 ms — push end later by 50 ms
• Load 2nd SRT — add or change the support file
• Apply timing — next Apply also copies start/end
• Merge SRT — bulk-add non-overlapping 2nd cues
