Description
This manual page documents briefly the subtitleeditor command. As subtitleeditor is a GUI program, most of its options are available through the GUI interface, rather than the command-line.
subtitleeditor is a GTK+3 tool to edit subtitles. It can be used to create new subtitles or as a tool to transform, edit, correct and refine existing subtitles.
Options
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.
- -? -h --help
Show summary of options.
- --help-all
Show all help options.
- --help-debug
Show debug options if debug support was compiled in.
- --help-gst
Show GStreamer options.
- --help-gtk
Show Gtk+ options.
Application Options
- -f --file=FILE
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".
- -p --profile=NAME
The name of the configuration profile. Default value is “default“. Subtitleeditor follows the XDG Base Directory Specification, so unless $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, profiles are typically stored in ~/.config/subtitleditor/.
- -e --encoding=ENCODING
Encoding used to open subtitle files.
- -v --video=FILE
Open video file.
- -w --waveform=FILE
Open waveform file.
- -k --keyframes=FILE
Open keyframes file.
- --display=DISPLAY
X display to use, if still run under X.
