FAQ

How many characters per subtitle line?

For 9:16 short video, keep lines under 14–16 characters (Latin) so two lines fit without covering the subject. CJK subtitles can go denser, ~10–12 full-width characters.

Why not just let the editor auto-wrap?

Auto-wrap breaks mid-phrase and mid-word, which looks broken on screen. Splitting on punctuation keeps phrases intact and readable at a glance.

Does it work for Chinese/Japanese text?

Yes — it splits on 。!? as well as .!? and respects full-width punctuation.
