Edit All Subtitle Text and Timing in One Scrollable List

After AI generates subtitles for your clips, you may need to fix a few words here and there — a misspelled name, a misheard phrase, or a timing that feels slightly off. The bulk subtitle editor shows every subtitle word in a scrollable list, letting you review and edit them all in one place instead of jumping between clips on the timeline.

Opening the Bulk Editor

1

Select a clip with subtitles

Tap the clip on the timeline that has subtitle words you want to edit. The clip toolbar appears at the top.

2

Open the subtitle list

Tap the subtitle editing option in the clip toolbar. The bulk editor opens as a scrollable sheet showing all words in the clip, listed in chronological order.

Editing Text

Each row in the list shows one word or phrase along with its timestamp. To edit:

  • Tap any word to open a text field where you can type the replacement
  • Fix multiple words by scrolling through the list and tapping each one you want to change
  • Delete a word by clearing the text field — the word will be removed from the subtitle display

Changes take effect immediately. There is no separate save step — what you type is what will appear in the video.

Scan for patterns: Scroll through the entire list quickly to spot recurring errors. If the AI consistently misheard a specific word, you can fix all instances in one session rather than discovering them one at a time during playback.

Adjusting Timing

Each word has a start and end timestamp that controls when it appears and disappears on screen. In the bulk editor, you can adjust these values directly:

  • Start time — when the word first appears. Move it earlier if the word pops in too late, or later if it appears before the speaker says it.
  • End time — when the word disappears. Extend it if the word vanishes too quickly, or shorten it if it lingers.
Timestamps are relative: All times shown are relative to the start of the clip, not the start of the full video. A word at "1.2s" appears 1.2 seconds after the clip begins.

Bulk Editor vs. Inline Editing

You can also edit individual words by tapping them directly on the preview — this is called inline editing. Here is when to use each approach:

Scenario Best approach
Fix one or two words you noticed during playback Inline editing (tap the word on preview)
Review and clean up all subtitles after AI processing Bulk editor
Adjust timing on several words Bulk editor
Quickly rephrase a single subtitle for emphasis Inline editing
Keep words short: Subtitle words that are much longer than the original spoken word may overlap visually with adjacent words on screen. Preview the result after editing to make sure everything fits.
