Project Settings - Cues tab

Cues tab allows users to define all timing related parameters.

Parameter	Description
Minimum subtitle duration	Allows translators to set the minimum subtitle duration of all the subtitles in the current project. According to most scholars, the duration of a single subtitle should never be less than one second, otherwise, it will seem to flicker, and viewers won't be able to read it. However, it is always crucial to check with your client and follow the given parameters.
Maximum subtitle duration	Allows translators to set the maximum subtitle duration. The default value is 7 seconds.
Minimum time gap	Defines the minimum interval between consecutive subtitles.
Shot change snap area	Defines the threshold of frames before or after a shot change that the software will consider. If the in/out cue of a given subtitle falls within that area, it will automatically be snapped to the proper location (granted that *Auto snap to shot change* is active).
Snap before shot change	Defines the number of frames before a shot change to which the out-cue of a subtitle will be snapped.
Snap after shot change	Defines the number of frames after a shot change to which the in-cue of a subtitle will be snapped.
Auto snap to shot change	With this option checked, in/out cues that fall within the *Shot change snap area* will be automatically snapped to the defined location before/after the shot change.
Auto comply timing	With this box checked, during the spotting process, the app will automatically force gaps that are below the defined threshold to comply with that same threshold.
Prevent timing overlap	With this box checked, the program will automatically prevent setting timecodes that don't comply with the project settings.
Auto jump to next subtitle	With this box checked, the next subtitle will be highlighted after setting the out-cue.
