Open the approved proxy
Work with the low-resolution or watermarked media supplied for the subtitle job.
Private preview for professional teams
Subtitle timing that
follows the dialogue.
Import an approved proxy and an existing subtitle track. The Magic Wand adjusts cue in and out points to speech—without rewriting the text or disturbing cues your operator has already approved.
Built for subtitle origination, retiming, conformance and technical QC on macOS.
Why don't you just admit you're freaked out?

Try it: press Run Magic Wand to see rough cue boundaries move to the dialogue waveform.
The Magic Wand
From rough timing to
review-ready cues.
Subtitle timing is rarely fixed by shifting an entire track. Individual cue boundaries need to follow speech while respecting the work already completed by the operator.
The Magic Wand analyzes dialogue regions and retimes the existing cue sequence. It does not translate, transcribe or rewrite the subtitle text.

How it works
A focused timing workflow.
Run the Magic Wand
Dialogue-aware analysis adjusts the existing cue boundaries while preserving their text and order.
Review and export
Inspect every change on the waveform, refine exceptions manually and export the reviewed SRT.
Built for the timing step
For teams that own
subtitle timing.
The private preview is intended for companies responsible for the original timed template, subtitle conformance or the technical review of files before delivery.
Subtitle origination
Create or refine the first timed subtitle track that later language versions depend on.
Retiming and conformance
Repair cue boundaries when an existing track no longer follows the supplied proxy.
Technical QC
Find and correct timing problems without altering the approved translation.
What is working today
Assistance without surrendering control.
Dialogue-aware waveform
See likely speech regions without treating every music or effects peak as dialogue.
Text remains untouched
The Magic Wand changes timing—not the translation, cue order or wording.
Approved cues stay put
Operator-touched cues can remain locked while the rest of the track is adjusted.
Media stays on the Mac
Core audio analysis and subtitle processing run locally rather than uploading production media.
Questions
An honest private preview.
Is the application available to purchase?
Not publicly. We are inviting a small number of subtitle-production and media-localization companies to evaluate the private preview and help shape the professional workflow.
Does it translate or generate subtitles?
No. The current product is deliberately focused on subtitle timing. It works with an existing subtitle track and does not rewrite or translate its text.
Which workflow is supported today?
The current private preview runs on macOS and supports an SRT-based review and export workflow. Broader professional formats are not being advertised until they are implemented and validated.
Is production media uploaded?
No. Core media analysis runs locally on the Mac. The website’s demo form sends only the contact details that you choose to submit.
Who is the private preview for?
Companies whose teams originate subtitle timings, conform existing files to revised media or perform technical timing QC.
