Plint Subtitler: Select subtitles

 

Select Subtitles

To edit multiple subtitles simultaneously, you can start by selecting the subtitles in the Timeline. There are several ways to select subtitles, which we will go through below.

Select Using CTRL (CMD on Mac) and/or SHIFT Keys:

- CTRL (CMD on Mac): To select or deselect individual subtitles, use CTRL in combination with a left mouse click. Hold down CTRL and left-click on the subtitles you want to select. To deselect a subtitle, repeat the same action on a previously selected subtitle.

    -

SHIFT: To select a segment of subtitles on the timeline, use the SHIFT key along with the left mouse button. Hold down SHIFT and click on the first subtitle in the segment you want to create. Then, go to the last subtitle and do the same. This will select the subtitles you clicked on, as well as those in between.

Right-Click on Timeline:
If you right-click on the timeline where there are no subtitles, you can access the Select menu. Here are the options available:

  - Select all: Selects all subtitles on the Timeline.
  -  Select from start to hh:mm:ss:ff: Selects subtitles from the start to the position of the playhead on the Timeline.
  - Select from hh:mm:ss:ff to end: Selects subtitles from the playhead position to the end of the Timeline.
  - Invert selection: Inverts the current selection, so all unselected subtitles become selected and vice versa. This option only works if at least one subtitle is selected.
  - Deselect all: Deselects all subtitles on the Timeline.

Select Range Tool:
Under the Subtitle drop-down menu, you will find the select range tool. This tool offers two different ways to select a range of subtitles.

  - Time range: With this option, you set a start time and an end time, and all subtitles within this range will be selected.
Index range: This option allows you to select a range of subtitles by using the subtitle index. All subtitles within the specified index range will be selected.
