Will my video stay in sync after translation?

Yes. We never touch timestamps. The in and out times for every cue are preserved byte-for-byte — only the text content between them changes. Your video will be as perfectly synced in French as it was in English.

What about two-line subtitles? Will they stay two lines?

Each text line within a cue is translated individually and written back on the same line. A two-line cue comes back as a two-line cue. Note that translated text may be slightly longer or shorter — we don't force line-breaks within the text itself.

Do [Music] and [Applause] markers get translated?

SDH markers like [Music], [Applause], [Laughter] are passed to the AI with instructions to preserve them as-is. In practice most AI engines leave them untouched since they're bracketed and non-linguistic. We recommend reviewing the output for your first file.

What's the difference between .srt and .vtt?

.srt (SubRip) is the most widely supported format — compatible with virtually every video player, platform, and NLE. .vtt (WebVTT) is the web standard used by HTML5 video, YouTube, and many streaming platforms. We support both equally — upload either, download the same format.
