QuickEdit

Subtitles, output, and cache

Output files

Section titled “Output files”

For recording.mp4, QuickEdit writes:

  • recording_edited.mp4 — rendered video.
  • recording_edited.ass or .srt — subtitle sidecar, unless subtitles are disabled.
  • recording_edited.timeline.json — cut and clip metadata.

Use --subtitle-style fancy, simple, or none. Fancy subtitles are ASS files with word highlighting; simple subtitles are portable SRT files.

Cache

Section titled “Cache”

Analysis caches live beside the input video in .quickedit_cache/. Cache keys include the input identity and relevant analysis settings, so changing a render setting does not require re-transcription.

Terminal window
quickedit recording.mp4 --clear-cache
quickedit recording.mp4 --no-cache

--clear-cache clears entries before processing; --no-cache disables cache reads and writes for that invocation.
