About Subtitles
Subtitles are rendered in real-time using a resolution independent format. This means that the subtitles are always displayed at the best quality your device or application can perform. It just looks great!
The default size of the subtitle strip is 15% of the movie height. This will make the subtitles render at the same relative size on a low-resolution movie to a large hd-resolution movie. The size will always “look” the same. You can decrease/increase the relative size using the buttons in the toolbar. Each click represents one percent.

When you have found what you think is the correct subtitle for your movie/tv show, just click on the download button. It can look a bit different depending on the site you are currently using.
When the subtitle file has been downloaded and unarchived you will be asked if you want to import it.
The subtitles will be imported and parsed and added to the subtitle drawer. Done! Voila!
