Paste and reformat text in FAB Subtitler

FAB Subtitler can paste text into subtitles by using advanced segmentation rules which distribute text to subtitles in an intelligent way. Many rules are applied, for example the first subtitle line may finish with , or . and then the following text will be moved into the second subtitle line.

There are many rules which are applied by the undisclosed intelligent algorithm used by FAB Subtitler.

It is also possible to activate the “Word substitution list” which can replace words. The functionality of the work substitution list is described in detail here

A window will be displayed where you can select a few settings which will define how the text from the clipboard will be inserted into subtitles. A preview of how the text will be distributed to subtitles will be displayed.

You can define the word substitution list which will be used for this functionality as described on this page under “Pasting text in a formatted way”.
