subtitling services provider for international media Export and Import Subtitle Projects in Sublandia Editor

Because Sublandia Editor runs entirely inside a browser, project data is stored locally in browser storage during active work.

Open Sublandia editor

If browser memory is cleared, cached data removed, or local storage reset, projects that were not exported may no longer be available for loading inside the editor.

To prevent data loss and allow full project continuity, Sublandia Editor includes project export and import functionality through the .subpro project format.

The .subpro file preserves complete project data so work can be restored instantly at any time.

 

 Why Browser-Based Projects Should Be Exported Regularly

Browser-based subtitle editing offers speed and privacy, but local browser storage is not permanent.

What Happens When Browser Storage Is Cleared

If browser cache, storage, or local data is removed:

  • active subtitle projects disappear from browser memory
  • project settings are removed
  • local project references are no longer available

This affects projects that have not been exported.

Why Export Is Important

Regular project export creates a safe backup that can be reloaded whenever needed.

This is especially important for:

  • long subtitle projects
  • ongoing translation work
  • professional subtitle delivery workflows

 

 What the .subpro Project File Contains

The .subpro file is a full project package.

Included Project Data

When exporting a project, the file preserves:

  • subtitle content
  • video reference
  • templates
  • subtitle timing
  • subtitle rulesets
  • project settings
  • technical configurations

Full Project Continuity

After import, all saved project data appears immediately inside the editor and work can continue without rebuilding the project manually.

 

How to Export a Subtitle Project

Open Dashboard  Find Your Project  Click Export Project    Click on Export .subpro

Option 2 – Export in Sublandia Editor

Subtitle project backup workflow in browser subtitle editor

subtitling services provider for international media How to Import a .subpro Project File

Step 1 – Open Dashboard

Click on Import Project

Step 2 – Select the .subpro File

Locate the saved .subpro file on your device.

Step 3 – Load the Project

After import, the full project appears automatically.

All subtitle content, settings, and project structure are restored immediately.

 

 Subtitle Export Files Are Also Saved Locally

In addition to full project export, subtitle export files are stored locally.

Subtitle Export Goes to Downloads

When subtitle files are exported, they are saved in the browser download location.

This applies to exported subtitle formats such as:

  • SubRip
  • Timed Text Markup Language
  • Distribution Format Exchange Profile

Exported Subtitle Files Can Be Loaded Again

Previously exported subtitle files can be re-imported into the editor for continued work.

 

 Why .subpro Is Better for Full Project Recovery

Subtitle export formats save subtitle text and timing, but they do not preserve full project structure.

Subtitle Files Do Not Include Full Project Context

Standard subtitle exports usually do not preserve:

  • templates
  • project settings
  • rulesets
  • internal editor configuration

.subpro Preserves Full Production State

The .subpro format restores the project exactly as it was during export.

 

 Project Safety in Browser-Based Subtitle Editing

Sublandia Editor uses client-side architecture for privacy and speed, but local project management remains the user's responsibility.

Project export ensures work remains protected beyond browser storage limits.
