The interface had no face for Arabic or Hebrew, so caption text, track and media names showed missing-glyph boxes in the Text panel and on the timeline while the Program monitor drew them. crates/ui-egui/src/rtl.rs adds the craft-fonts Arab / Hebr faces, else one installed face per script (Noto Sans Arabic, SF Arabic, Segoe UI...), as the last fallbacks of every UI font family, as cjk.rs does for Chinese. egui already shapes each font run with harfrust, so the letters join, but it lays runs out left to right with no bidi pass and multi-word Arabic read backwards. rtl::Lines lays captions out in reading order: lines are broken on the logical text as egui wraps it, each line is reordered with unicode-bidi (UAX #9, as crates/text does for titles) and every right-to-left word is its own layout section for egui's shaper. Caption blocks on the timeline and the Text panel caption list use it; a caption being edited keeps egui's logical order, since TextEdit places the caret by character index. Left-to-right text is laid out exactly as before.

Captions
FilmCraft keeps captions on caption tracks in the sequence, shown in their own area above the
video tracks (as Premiere does). Caption tracks are saved in the .fcproj (project format
version 2; version 1 projects open with no caption tracks).
Model
- Caption track (
CaptionTrack,crates/project/src/caption.rs): name, format (Subtitle,CEA-608,CEA-708,Teletext), language, output eye (shown in the Program monitor and burned in on export), lock, sync lock, and a track style: font size (pixels at 1080 lines, scaled to the frame), text colour, background box and its colour, outline width and colour, alignment (left/centre/right), position (top/middle/bottom) and margin (a fraction of the frame height, default 0.08;captions.setStyleclamps it to 0–0.45), line spacing. - Caption: in/out in exact
Ticks, text (lines separated by\n;<i>,<b>,<u>kept as written), optional speaker, and the WebVTT cue id and cue settings, kept for round trips. Captions on a track never overlap.
Files
| Format | Import | Export | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
SubRip .srt |
✓ | ✓ | Forgiving reader (BOM, UTF-16, Windows-1252, CRLF, missing indexes, ,/. ms, missing hours). |
WebVTT .vtt |
✓ | ✓ | Keeps cue ids, cue settings, <v Speaker>, STYLE/REGION/NOTE blocks. line:N% and align: are honoured when drawing. |
Scenarist SCC .scc |
✓ | ✓ | CEA-608 at 29.97 fps. Reads pop-on, roll-up and paint-on; writes pop-on with drop-frame (default) or non-drop timecode. |
File ▸ Import (or dropping a file) recognises caption files by extension and content and adds a
new caption track to the open sequence (a sequence is created when none is open). Cue times are
snapped to the sequence's frames. File ▸ Export ▸ Captions… writes the chosen caption track in
the format given by the file extension (.srt, .vtt, .scc).
Details of each format and the SCC encoder are in crates/captions/README.md.

(query) | track — tracks, styles and captions with timecodes (a track that names no caption track is an error) |
Tracks are addressed by id or "C1", "C2"… (top first). Edits are limited by neighbouring
captions and a one-frame minimum. Sync-locked caption tracks follow insert and extract edits on
the media tracks (a caption across an insert point is split). Add Edit to All Tracks (⇧⌘K)
also splits captions.
Timeline and Text panel
- Caption rows: header with
C1…badge, lock, output eye, name and format; caption blocks in violet showing their text (Arabic and Hebrew in reading order from the block's right edge). Click selects (⌘/⇧ adds), drag moves, edge drag trims, double-click opens the Text panel. Automation ids:timeline.caption.<id>,timeline.captionTrack.C1[.locked|.enabled]. - Text panel ▸ Captions: search, track picker (also creates tracks of each format), add /
split / merge / delete / export buttons, the list of segments with editable in/out timecodes
and text (committed when the field loses focus; Arabic and Hebrew show in reading order and are
edited in logical order while the field has focus), and the track style strip (size, colour, box,
alignment, position). Automation ids:
text.tab.Captions,text.captions.add|split|merge|delete|export|search|track,text.captions.<id>.in|out|text|goto|row,text.captions.style.*.
Burn-in
The Program monitor shows the visible caption tracks. On export, file.exportMedia
{"burnCaptions": true} (Export mode: Burn Captions Into Video) draws them into every frame.
Captions are set in Inter SemiBold (OFL, bundled) by the text engine (crates/text: shaping,
kerning, bidi); italics/bold markup is not yet drawn differently. The captions of a nested sequence
are part of the nest's picture: they are drawn wherever the nest is shown, in the Program monitor
and in every export, whether or not the outer sequence shows or burns in its own.
