Some of the most common commands.
| Command | Shortcut | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Play 0.5 Sec From Here & Grab Start Time | [F] | Play the video for 0.5 seconds (the number of frames is rounded) starting from the current frame, then rewind to the current frame. The SSA-style timestamp for the current frame is sent to Clipboard. This is handy for various purposes, especially when you are interested in subtitle-lip sync. |
| Play 0.5 Sec to Here & Grab End Time | [A] | Play the video for 0.5 seconds (the number of frames is rounded) until the current frame. The SSA-style timestamp for the current frame is sent to Clipboard. This is handy for various purposes, especially when you are interested in subtitle-lip sync. |
| Grab Current Time | [G] | Send to Clipboard the SSA-style timestamp for the current frame. |
| Start Playing & Grab / Stop | [S] | Play the video starting from the current frame. The SSA-style timestamp for the current frame is sent to Clipboard. If the video is already playing, simply pause it. |
| Around Here & Grab Current Time | [H] | Play the video from the current frame - 0.5 seconds to the current frame + 0.5 seconds. The SSA-style timestamp for the current frame is sent to Clipboard. |
| 0.5 Sec Before Start | [Shift]+[A] | Play the video 0.5 seconds until the start time of the current Dialogue. |

| 0.8 Sec From Here & Grab Start/End | [E] | Play the video starting from the current frame until the nearest frame at least 0.8 seconds later. The SSA-style timestamps for the current frame and the +0.8 seconds frame are both sent to the clipboard as Start Time and End Time. This is handy when you want to make a too short Dialogue longer so that it will have at least 0.8 seconds, and you want to use a specific frame as the start frame for the Dialogue in question. |
| 0.8 Sec to Here & Grab Start/End | [Shift]+[E] | Play the video until the current frame from the nearest frame at least 0.8 seconds earlier. The SSA-style timestamps for the -0.8 seconds frame and the current frame are both sent to the clipboard as Start Time and End Time.
