The transport bar
The transport bar controls playback and displays the current timecode.
Playback controls
The transport buttons follow a standard layout:

| ⏮ | Back one frame | Left |
| ⏪ | Back 5 seconds | Shift + Left |

Playback options
- Seek on select -- automatically positions the playhead when a subtitle is selected in the list
- Auto-fit -- automatically applies timing corrections when a subtitle is deselected
- Volume -- adjustment with mute option
Timecode
The current timecode is displayed in large format to the right of the transport bar (HH:MM:SS.mmm), so it remains readable at all times while you work.
The status bar
At the very bottom of the window, a thin status bar permanently displays the project's reference information:
| Information | Example |
|---|---|
| SMPTE timecode of the playhead | 01:06:18:21 |
| Total project duration | 01:42:35:00 |
| Number of subtitles (and selection) | 142 st (3 sel.) |
| Word count | 1,280 words |
| Visible window on the timeline | 5.0s visible |
| Frame rate | 25 fps |
This information updates in real time during playback and navigation.
Find and replace
The search bar appears below the toolbar and lets you find text across all subtitles.
- Search with options: match case, whole words, regular expressions
- Line filtering: search in L1, L2, or both
- Replacement: individual or global
- Navigation between results with previous/next buttons
The result counter (for example "3/15") shows your position among the matches found.
