Where do I create a new subtitle project in Sublandia Editor?

You create a new project on the Dashboard page by clicking + Create New Project. This opens the project creation workflow where you can configure all settings, including export options.

 

Can I change the project parameters after creating a subtitle project?

Most project parameters can be modified later, including subtitle format, and encoding. However, it is recommended to set them correctly at the start for smoother workflow and accurate exports.

 

What video formats are supported when creating a new subtitle project?

Sublandia Editor supports MP4. Once uploaded, the editor detects the frame rate automatically.

 

Which subtitle formats can I choose during project creation?

You can select from popular subtitle formats like SRT, TTML, DFXP, WebVTT and ASS. Choosing the correct format is important for proper export and playback.

 

What is the difference between Precise and Strict timing modes?

Precise timing allows millisecond-accurate subtitle placement, ideal for professional editing. Strict timing snaps all start and end times to exact frame boundaries, ensuring that every subtitle aligns perfectly with the video frames. This mode is often used for broadcast-ready subtitles where exact frame alignment is required.

 

Do I need to upload a subtitle template to create a project?

Uploading a subtitle template is optional. You can create a project without a template and add subtitles later in the editor.

 

What is a subtitle ruleset and why should I select one?

A subtitle ruleset defines formatting, line length, reading speed, and other subtitle standards. Selecting a built-in or custom profile ensures your subtitles meet professional guidelines.

 

How do I confirm that my project was successfully created?

After completing all steps, you’ll see a Project Created! message. Click Open in Editor to access the full Sublandia Editor interface and start editing your subtitles.

 

Can I export my subtitles immediately after creating the project?

Yes. Once your project is open and subtitles are added, you can configure export settings and export the project in the chosen subtitle format and encoding.

 

Is Sublandia Editor suitable for beginners creating subtitle projects?

Yes. Sublandia Editor is a professional-grade subtitle software, but its intuitive step-by-step workflow, pre-built subtitle profiles, and optional templates make it easy for beginners to create and manage subtitle projects efficiently.
