Saving a subtitle

What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

Kaveo keeps every change to a subtitle as you make it, but no other player sees it until you save it somewhere.

The Save as dialog: A new file beside the video with its path, Overwrite the original with the path of the file it came from, and A file on this computer…, then Cancel and Save

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”
  1. In the subtitle editor or on the All lines… page, click Save, or press Ctrl+S. The first time, Kaveo asks where.
  2. Choose A new file beside the video, A new file on the server for a Jellyfin title, Overwrite the original, or A file on this computer…, then click Save.
  3. Save as…, or Ctrl+Shift+S, picks another place. Both are also in Subtitles › Tools.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • After the first time, Save writes to the same place.
  • Overwriting asks first. With Keep a backup copy ticked, Restore the original in Subtitles › Tools puts the old file back.
  • On a server, Kaveo removes the original and uploads the new file under its name. If the upload fails, the original goes back.
  • Syncing, the delay written into the file and an accent fix save again where you saved.
  • Removing a subtitle in Kaveo never deletes a file you saved.
