Import Video & Subtitles
Prism Lines uses local video + subtitles as raw material. Import TV series, films, interviews, or any subtitled video.
Supported Video
Add files to the in-app library or use Import to pick a local path. Common formats include MP4, MKV, MOV (see your build’s release notes).
TIP
For a first run, choose a moderately sized episode with clear subtitles to experience the full workflow quickly.
Subtitle Sources
| Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Embedded | Subtitle tracks inside the video file; pick a language track at playback |
| External | .srt, .ass, etc. alongside the video or via a path you specify |
| Multilingual | Keep multiple tracks; switch or compare while learning (if supported in your version) |
If timing is slightly off, adjust offset in Settings.
How Material Is Split
After import, the app:
- Parses the subtitle timeline;
- Maps each cue to a learning unit (sentence + start/end time);
- Links video segments for playback during study.
No manual cutting—Prism Lines splits by subtitles automatically. Next: Learning Session.
Compliance
- Use video and subtitles you have the right to use.
- Prism Lines does not provide or distribute any media; it only processes files on your computer.
