Video Subtitles

• You need accurate Hebrew transcription and want the best available model (ivrit.ai fine-tuned).
• You're creating captions for WhatsApp, Instagram Reels, or TikTok where hardcoded subtitles are required for visibility.
• You want to translate Hebrew video content to English and produce a captioned output in one step.
• You need a clean .srt file for uploading to YouTube, a video editor, or a streaming platform.

• You need transcription for languages other than Hebrew or English — this skill only supports those two.
• You require soft subtitle tracks in languages beyond English, or need multi-language subtitle support in a single output file.

Uses the ivrit.ai fine-tuned model specifically optimized for Hebrew, delivering significantly higher accuracy than generic speech recognition models for Hebrew-language content.

Leverages OpenAI's Whisper large-v3 model for high-quality English transcription. The skill automatically selects the right model based on detected language.

Hardcodes subtitles directly into the video pixels using FFmpeg, making them permanently visible on any platform — ideal for WhatsApp, Instagram, and other apps that ignore soft subtitle tracks.

Translates transcribed Hebrew text to English and can burn the translated subtitles into the output video in the same command, enabling one-step localization.

Automatically formats subtitles with natural line breaks (max 42 characters/line, 2 lines), duration limits (1–7 seconds), and cinematic styling — white text with a black outline, bottom-aligned.

Outputs a plain text transcript to stdout by default. Add --srt for a subtitle file, --burn for a hardcoded video, or --embed for a soft subtitle track that players can toggle.

Run the skill with --burn on a Hebrew-language video to produce a .mp4 with permanently visible subtitles. Share directly to WhatsApp or Instagram without worrying about subtitle compatibility.

Use --translate en --burn to transcribe a Hebrew video and burn English subtitles into the output — useful for sharing Hebrew-language interviews, lectures, or clips with international audiences.

Run with --srt to produce a standard .srt subtitle file alongside the source video. Import it into Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or upload directly to YouTube's caption manager.

Run the skill without flags to get a clean text transcript printed to stdout — useful for producing meeting notes, show notes, or searchable content archives from recorded audio or video.
