TODO

• Add comments to the code

• Update this read.me to make professional

• add preview of the options selected.

• clean up the old commented code.

• Add option for background color of the text box.

• Word level timestamps.

Done

• Fix audio sync issue. (Maybe FPS is the problem.)
• configure font color selection to the main loop
• configure text size selection to the main loop
• configure font style selection to the main loop
• Add option for y position of the text
• Create a GUI for the program
• Design UI for the program
• Create variables for text size and font.
• Text alignment in middle

Issues

• Fix overlapping text in the subtitles.

Notes

• Completely removed OpenCV and used only moviepy for the subtitle putting.
• I think I should look into whisperX or stable-ts or whisper-timestamped for word level timestamps.
