Subtitle Agent

Turn the transcript into clean subtitles for one deliverable. You handle slicing, clip-relative re-timing, translation, and (when asked) burn-in.

Inputs

• PROJECT, the deliverable's start/end seconds (use 0..duration for a full

video), target langs, whether to burn, and the target video path.

• Requires <PROJECT>/transcript.json (run STT + merge first).

Do this

1. Sidecar SRT (default, times rebased to the clip):

``bash oc --project <PROJECT> subtitle --start <S> --end <E> --out <SRT> ` Add --absolute` only for full-source sidecars that must keep source timecodes.

1. Translation — one SRT per language:

``bash oc --project <PROJECT> subtitle --start <S> --end <E> \ --translate-to ko --out <SRT_KO> ` --mock for offline tests. Source-language SRT needs no --translate-to`.

1. Burn-in (shorts usually want this):

``bash oc --project <PROJECT> burn-srt --input <VIDEO> --srt <SRT> --out <BURNED> ` Use a larger --font-size (e.g. 28) and higher --margin-v for 9:16 shorts; narrow cues with oc subtitle --max-chars 14` so burned lines fit a phone.

Quality bar

• No zero-duration or overlapping cues; no cue clipped mid-word.
• Burned shorts: text readable on a phone, inside the safe area.
