Quick Sub 2 is a streamlined macOS application built from the ground up in SwiftUI for creative video subtitling. Get independent control over text styling, container geometry, and rotation angles. Drag subtitle objects directly on the video canvas for perfect positioning, apply batch styles across multiple objects with a single command, and use a dynamic timeline that scales from 0.1x to 10x for precision timing. The application has full native Undo/Redo stacks andqsub2 file persistence.
I like the focus on subtitle editing instead of a full video editor. Can Quick Sub 2 work with subtitles generated by AI tools, so users can fine-tune the styling and timing afterward?
How does the qsub2 file format handle compatibility with other subtitle tools or editors like Premiere or Final Cut, or is it pretty locked into its own ecosystem?
SwiftUI-native and the timeline precision at 0.1x is genuinely useful for tight caption sync. Batch styling across multiple objects worked exactly as advertised, though I wish the canvas allowed nudging with arrow keys for pixel-level tweaks.
Finally tried this and the drag-on-canvas positioning feels really natural, especially with the timeline zoom for fine-tuning cues. Batch styling multiple subs at once is a nice time-saver too.
SwiftUI native on Mac is rare for video tools, nice to see. Dragging subtitles straight on the canvas feels way faster than keyframing in Premiere. Timeline zooming down to 0.1x is genuinely useful for tight caption timing.
The drag-to-position directly on the video canvas is such a smart workflow choice, makes fine-tuning placement feel natural instead of fighting with sliders.
The drag-to-position subtitles directly on the video canvas is such a thoughtful touch. So many tools force you into separate preview windows, so this feels like it actually respects how creative work gets done.
