How to add and edit subtitles in Jupitrr

Step-by-step guide

1. 1

   Open the Subtitles tab

   Select Subtitles in the left rail. The switch next to the title turns subtitles on or off for the whole video. Use Style and Transcript at the top to move between the two views.

   While subtitles are switched off, the rest of the panel is dimmed and can't be edited.

2. 2

   Fix a word in the transcript

   Switch to Transcript. Each card is one subtitle line with its timing. Click a line and type to correct it, or select a word and delete it. The subtitle on the preview updates straight away.

   Clicking a word also moves the playhead to that moment, so you can hear what was said.

   Deleting a word removes it from the subtitles only. The video keeps its full length.

   

3. 3

   Replace a word everywhere

   In Transcript, select the magnifying glass (Find and replace). Type the word in Find and its replacement in Replace with, then select Replace all.

   Matches are highlighted in the transcript, and the panel counts them, for example 1 match in original subtitles. After replacing, a message confirms how many changed, such as Replaced 6 matches.

   

4. 4

   Hide a line or a few words

   In Transcript, click the eye icon on a card (Hide this line) to hide a whole line. To hide part of a line, select the words in the card and choose Hide in the menu that appears.

   Hidden subtitles are struck through in the list and don't appear on the video. The footage underneath still plays. Click the eye icon again (Show this line) to bring a line back.

   The same menu offers Text overlay, which copies the selected words into a text overlay with the same timing. Styling overlays is covered in How to edit the hook and add text overlays.

   Lines that already have a text overlay show a Text overlay label on their card.

5. 5

   Change how subtitles look

   In Style, pick a style tile to change the font, colours, highlight and animation in one click. Your wording and timing stay as they are. Drag Position under the tiles to move subtitles up or down.

   Position runs from 0 at the top of the video to 100 at the bottom.

   Save Style, the last tile, stores your current look so you can reuse it on the next video. It turns on once you change the look in Advanced settings.

   

6. 6

   Fine-tune the style

   Select the sliders button on the chosen tile to open Advanced settings.

   • Font: pick a font, use − and + to change the size, and set the colour with the swatches. A highlight colour and a background colour appear when the style uses them.
   • Length: Long, Short or Word by word, for how many words show at once.
   • Highlight: how the spoken word stands out. None, Colour (the word changes colour), Box (a box behind the word), Pop (the word grows), Karaoke (words fill in as you say them) or Keyword (one key word per line is styled).
   • Capitals: Aa as typed or AA in capitals. Background: None, Line or Words.

   

7. 7

   Add a translated line

   In Transcript, turn on the Bilingual switch and choose a Language. Jupitrr translates each sentence and shows the translation under the original line. Translation ready appears when it has finished.

   Each card now shows the translation under the original. Click either line to fix a word.

   The sliders button (Size and spacing) opens Translated line, where Font size and Spacing set the translated line's size and its gap from the original. It uses the same font and colours as your subtitles, without the word-by-word highlight.

   Re-translate runs the translation again, for example after you fix words in the original.

   

8. 8

   Regenerate the transcript

   If the language is wrong or the transcript is missing, switch to Transcript and select the circular arrows (Regenerate subtitles). In Generate transcript again, choose a Model and Language, add any Vocabulary, then select Generate transcript.

   The models are Deepgram Nova-3 (Recommended), Deepgram Whisper (Multilingual) and AWS (Alternative). You can add up to 20 words to spell exactly.

   Regenerating removes all existing highlights and B-roll. Your subtitle style (font, colour, position and animation) is kept.

   

9. 9

   Copy or download the subtitles

   In Transcript, select the download icon (Download or copy) and choose Copy to clipboard, Download .txt file or Download .srt file.

   With a translation, the menu also offers Copy both, Download both .txt and Download both .srt, where each cue holds the original line with the translation under it.

Limits and requirements

• Editing or deleting words changes the subtitles, not the video. To cut footage, use Split and Delete on the video track in the timeline.
• Regenerate removes existing highlights and B-roll.
• Text overlays are separate from subtitles. Fixing a word in the transcript doesn't change an overlay that shows the same words.
• Changes save automatically. Transcript wording changes and Replace all are not currently added to the Undo history.
• Copying and downloading subtitles needs a paid plan.
• Vocabulary holds up to 20 words.
