• Subtitle Merging: Adds the modified ASS subtitle track to MKV/MP4 video files, removing existing subtitle tracks.
• Multiple File Support: Processes multiple video files simultaneously when using the graphical interface.
• Automatic Subtitle Extraction: For MKV files, automatically extracts existing subtitles before conversion and merging.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• FFmpeg installed and accessible from your system's PATH
• Python libraries: tkinter for the GUI, subprocess for executing system commands

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ImSakushi/srt-beautify.git
   cd srt-beautify

2. Install FFmpeg:

   • Windows: Download and install from FFmpeg.org, and add the bin folder to your PATH environment variable.
   • Linux: Run sudo apt-get install ffmpeg (for Debian-based distributions).
   • macOS: Install using Homebrew by running:

     brew install ffmpeg

     If you don't have Homebrew installed, first install it from brew.sh then run the above command.

3. Ensure Python is installed:

   • Check with python --version or python3 --version.

Usage

Command Line Script

• To process a video with a specific SRT file:

  python srt_ass.py path/to/video.mkv -s path/to/subtitle.srt -l eng

• To process an MKV video by extracting the subtitles:

  python srt_ass.py path/to/video.mkv -l fra

• To batch process a whole folder of MKV video by extracting the subtitles:

  python srt_ass.py -b path/to/folder -l spa

Options

-l, --language                                   Destination language
-s, --subtitle                                   For using custom .srt file
-s, --subtitle                                   For using custom .srt file
-b, --batch                                      To use a whole folder instead of a single file
{fre, ang, spa, ger, ita, por, rus, jpn, kor, chi, ara}

Graphical Interface

• Launch the graphical interface:

  python gui.py

• Follow the on-screen instructions to select videos and the SRT file, then click "Process Videos" to start processing.
