Main features

Project Manager

A brilliant way to create project presets to meet your clients’ individual requirements. Now you don't need to go through all the tabs to verify the settings every time you start a new file. Just click on the desired preset and you are ready to go.

A proper timeline with two tracks

It displays not only the audio and video tracks but also the boundaries of subtitles and shot changes. Navigation is as simple as it can get. For example, you can drag a subtitle’s in- and out-cues to a new position just using the mouse — and they will auto-snap to shot changes in vicinity.

Moreover, the EZTitles timeline can display your video as a strip of consecutive frames, making it easy to find the exact position of a hidden shot change, or even to precisely snap a subtitle’s cue to the shot change by hand.

A great feature of EZTitles is you could have a second track on the Timeline which can be used for overlapping subtitles, loading a script for reference or more useful purposes.

Translation Template

EZTitles offers you the option to load a second file along with your project to use it as a translation template. It can be used for translating your subtitles into a new language, verifying subtitles and proofing already existing subtitles.

Almost any Video File

EZTitles works with nearly any known video format with embedded timecode and supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVI, WMV and Apple QuickTime .MOV video files.

Frame-accurate cueing

EZTitles offers ultra-precise frame by frame forward/backward video playback. And to top it off each single frame can be easily auditioned thanks to the audio scrubbing.

Macros

With this feature you could record series of frequently repeated operations or write your own JavaScript-based programs inside EZTitles. Then these groups of commands and actions could be invoked by just a single click.

Auto Recovery

EZTitles includes a complete and comprehensive file backup and recovery solution. It encompasses group of options and scenarios into homogeneous fail-safe environment for your projects.

Auto Recovery creates temporary copy of the project which can be used in case of unexpected program or computer shutdown.

File History creates copies of the loaded project each time it’s being saved.

Unsaved Projects creates backup copy of every project/files which was once opened and modified but for whatever reason was not saved.

And File Overwrite Protection creates a backup copy of the file so you don’t accidentally overwrite your existing project.

Split Text to subtitles

The Split text to subtitles feature can serve many purposes, but it is best described as an advanced set of tools for splitting any block of text into individual subtitles. The result will strictly comply with all the requirements for the minimum interval between subtitles, minimum and maximum duration, reading speed, line length restrictions and so on.

The Split text to subtitles can simultaneously perform multiple operations depending on the options you activate. In general, it word-wraps and splits your text to optimally fill the lines, splits it into individual subtitles and finally (re)calculates the in- and out-cues of the resulting new subtitles.

You can simply skip the non-speech scenes and focus on the relevant parts, and you can even split a block of text into proper subtitles by using the Split text to subtitles feature in conjunction with the Continuous Typing Workflow.

Continuous Typing Workflow

You can efficiently subtitle long speech segments and continuous dialogue.
Just type the text in and EZTitles will take care of the rest.

As a result, you get splendid separate subtitles with the correct timecodes set automatically.
This feature is designed for roll-up closed captions but can also be applied to other type of captions and regular subtitles.

Skip the non-speech scenes

With the brilliant timesaving feature called “Preview subtitled scenes only”, EZTitles automatically recognizes and skips scenes with no speech to save you time on the final preview or quality check!

Speed-up and keep speech understandable

EZTitles boasts an advanced audio filter that allows you to play at 1.5x and 2x speeds with the speech remaining perfectly understandable.
With this filter you can not only preview your subtitles in the fastest way possible but also speed up your subtitle preparation process 1.5 to 2 times.

Aspect Ratio and Letterbox Options

We understand that letterboxed videos can sometimes bring additional requirements for the text’s position, and that is why EZTitles offers several options designed to help you in this situation.

If you set the correct aspect ratio and letterboxing, you will have an instant view of how your subtitles fit on the picture.

Fully customizable

Almost every aspect of EZTitles is customizable. The program can easily adapt to any unique style of work in no time.

Customize your visual layout and commands’ shortcuts.
Profiles - Working on an Open, Teletext or Closed Captions project? EZTitles’ profile presets will help you with that. Just choose the project type, and the software will change its interface to focus only on the tools you need to get your job done!

You can create your own unique profile to fit your work style best! Or simply import one if someone has already done it for you.

Subtitling Assistant

Subtitling Assistant is the next gen smart feature we’ve implemented into EZTitles intended to automate the process of creating Closed Captions both Pop-on and Roll-up,
SDH Subtitles or Master Translation Templates

What can the assistant do

Recognize the spoken text from the audio and automatically generate captions/subtitles in the same language. Extremely useful when creating captions or subtitles from scratch.

Split loaded text to subtitles and automatically synchronize (timecode) them with the audio. Useful if you already have a Dialogue List, Spotting List or any kind of transcript.
Just load the text into EZTitles and with a single command you will have subtitles/captions perfectly timed with the audio.

How it works

1. Load a video file and wait for EZTitles to process it.
2. Start the Audio Analysis. The Assistant analyses the audio.
3. Choose an Assistant action and configure your criteria.
4. Subtitling Assistant generates the timed captions/subtitles.

Advantages

Ease
Subtitling Assistant is integrated in EZTitles and shares its settings, preferences and environment. No need of additional installation and setting up. The Assistant uses your project settings and merges smoothly with your workflow.

Security
Subtitling Assistant analyses only the audio of your files. This way the video won’t leave the security of your PC during the process and you don’t have to worry about the safety of your content.

Intelligent Commands
Optimize your new workflow with commands which use data from the audio analysis. Subtitling Assistant moves In- and Out-cues automatically to match the speech timing when you split subtitles or move words between them.

Language and Accuracy

Subtitling Assistant provides excellent results for English audio and is somewhat adequate with other languages, but we’re pretty certain that would significantly improve in the future.

This tool can’t completely automate the subtitling - you’ll still need to review and edit the output, but we’re pretty confident that the Assistant will speed up your subtitling significantly. Just give it a try!

Tested with documentaries, interviews and other types of content in English where the speech or narrative is clear. Transcription from noisy scenes, characters speaking in heavy accent or mumbling voices are not as good.

Closed captions

And for a better subtitling experience Roll-up captions can be previewed exactly the way they will be displayed on the TV screen.

Dedicated Profile Preset

EZTitles can help you with its closed caption profile preset. Just choose it and the program will change the interface to focus on the tools for closed captioning — the display mode commands (Paint-on, Pop-on, Roll-up), colors, tools for horizontal and vertical positioning and justification of lines and more.

Continuous Typing Workflow

In EZTitles you can efficiently subtitle long speech segments and continuous dialogue.

All you need to do is type the text in, and EZTitles will take care of the rest. As a result, you get splendid separate subtitles with the correct timecodes set automatically.

This feature is designed for roll-up closed captions but can also be applied to regular subtitles.

Precise text positioning

With EZTitles you can place your subtitles anywhere on the screen. You can have one line justified to the left and the other justified to the right if you are doing a dialogue. And you can also change the horizontal position if needed.

Import/Export Presets
You will absolutely fall for this wonderful feature. Now you can configure import and export presets for each of the supported file formats, so you don’t need to check or apply the settings each time you import or export a file. Plus, every preset includes your default save folder — you don’t have to browse for it every time.

Place the text anywhere you want
With EZTitles you can place your subtitles anywhere on the screen. If you are doing a dialogue, you can have one line justified to the left and the other justified to the right, and you can also change the horizontal position if needed.

Dashes and hyphens
There are various requirements for using dashes and hyphens when subtitling a dialogue, splitting text in the middle of a sentence, etc. And that’s why EZTitles introduces a whole group of options to automate this process.

What You See Is What You Get
All subtitles are displayed exactly the way they’re meant to look. You view and edit your subtitles right over the video, so the appearance properties can be adjusted on the fly depending on the picture beneath.

Proofing Tools
With its army of useful features, EZTitles will help you work faster than ever before! Autocorrect, Short Forms, Thesaurus, Spelling Suggestions, Negative Dictionaries, Unit Converter, and Web Search to search for a word or phrase on the Internet — EZTitles got all this covered for you! And all these tools can be customized to fit your needs and help you focus on the most important part of job – the subtitling itself.

Full Screen Preview
If your computer has two monitors or a TV-out, the second display can be used for a fullscreen preview, so you can view your subtitles exactly the way they will appear on the viewer’s screen or in the theater.

Fast and easy navigation
On the right side of the screen is the subtitle list which shows you all the subtitles, their attributes and the corresponding frame pictures. A small icon next to a subtitle indicates an issue, so spotting mistakes in EZTitles is quite simple.

Insert Symbol
You can use the “Edit/Insert/Insert Symbol” dialog box to insert symbols such as ©, ™, µ, ♪, ♫, or special characters that are not on the keyboard.
What types of symbols and characters you can insert depends on the font you choose. For example, some fonts may include fractions (¼), international characters (Ç, ë) and currency symbols (£, ¥).
