cargo install sub-batch
USAGE:
sub-batch [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-y, --no-confirm If this flag is set sub-batch will not ask for any confirmation before applying operations.
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-s, --filter-sub <filter_sub> A regular expression which, if given, must match the file name of a subtitle
for that subtitle to be targeted by any of the SUBCOMMANDS.
-v, --filter-video <filter_video> A regular expression which, if given, must match the file name of a video file
for that video file to be targeted by any of the SUBCOMMANDS.
-p, --path <path> The path to look for subs/videos in. [default: .]
SUBCOMMANDS:
alass Adjusts the timing of all subs that are matched with a video file using `alass`
(https://github.com/kaegi/alass). This can automatically fix wrong timings due to commercial breaks
for example.
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
rename Renames subtitle files to match the corresponding video file.
time Adjusts the timing of all subs. The value is specified in milliseconds, and can be negative.
time-mpv Adjusts the timing of all subs interactively using mpv. `mpv` must be installed on the system for
this command to work.
Put the subs and the videos in the same directory, for example:
> ls
Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_001.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E01 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_002.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E02 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_003.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E03 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_004.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E04 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
Run sub-batch rename to rename the subtitle files to have the same name as the corresponding video file:
> sub-batch rename
./[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E01 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv -> ./Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_001.ass
./[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E02 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv -> ./Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_002.ass
./[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E03 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv -> ./Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_003.ass
./[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E04 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv -> ./Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_004.ass
Ok? (y/n)
By deafult sub-batch extracts the first number (searching from left to right) in the subtitle file name and then tries to find another non-subtitle file that contains that number.
The previous example matches the files correctly automatically but sometimes the area of the file names that the number is extracted from needs to be limited. Consider for example:
> ls
1337_Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_001.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E01 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
1337_Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_002.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E02 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
1337_Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_003.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E03 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
1337_Fullmetal_Alchemist_Brotherhood_004.ass '[Reaktor] Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - E04 v2 [1080p][x265][10-bit][Dual-Audio].mkv'
> sub-batch rename
found no match for any sub file
No matches are found because the first number in each subtitle is now 1337. To fix this specify the subtitle area like this:
sub-batch rename --subarea "hood_.+"
The regular expression given to --subarea (and --videoarea) limits the number extraction to only the part of the file name that is matched by the regular expression.
sub-batch can also batch adjust the timings for all subtitle files in the target directory. To do this you use the time subcommand, for example:
sub-batch time 100
which moves all subtitles forward by 100 ms, or:
sub-batch time -50
which moves all subtitles back by 50 ms.
You can give a regex to filter the subs/videos that should be included when running any of the subcommands. For example, to only change timings of subtiles in the target directory that has "SUB" in the filename:
sub-batch --filter-sub SUB time -50
Any other subtiles files in the target directory are ignored. Video files can be filtered the same way with the --filter-video option.
If mpv (https://mpv.io) is installed sub-batch can use mpv to adjust timings interactively and have the updated subtitles auto-refresh in mpv. To enter this mode run:
sub-batch time-mpv
and follow the on screen instructions to adjust the timings.
Note that at least one matched (same name except for extension) video file/subtilte file pair must exist in the target directory. sub-batch will only use the first matched pair it finds when adjusting, but the timing adjustment is applied to all subtitle files in the directory, same as sub-batch time command.
alass (https://github.com/kaegi/alass) can automatically adjust timings of a subtitle file and fix things such as gaps for commercial breaks
given the video file of the subtitle. To run alass-cli on all subtitle/video matches in parallel, run:
sub-batch alass
Arguments to alass-cli can be given by putting them after the alass subcommand in quotes:
sub-batch alass "--split-penalty 10"
