# Subtitle Generator - Missing UI Features

## Backend Parameters (Already Implemented)
```python
{
    "source_language": "auto",
    "target_language": "EN-US",
    "burn_subtitles": true,
    "whisper_model": "base",
    "font": "Arial",
    "font_size": 24,
    "text_color": "white",
    "outline_color": "black",
    "outline_width": 2,
    "position": "bottom",
    "alignment": "center",
    "margin_v": 30,
    "margin_h": 20,
    "shadow": 0,
    "bold": false,
    "italic": false,
    "background_color": null,
    "background_opacity": 0,
    "font_preset": null,
    "word_timestamps": false,
    "output_format": "srt"
}
```

## Recommended UI Layout
Match the original sandbox implementation structure:
1. **File Upload** (✅ exists)
2. **Language Selection** (✅ exists)
3. **Subtitle Styling Section** (❌ missing)
   - Font & Size (row)
   - Text Color & Outline Color (row)
   - Outline Width & Position (row)
4. **Advanced Options** (collapsible) (❌ missing)
   - Whisper Model
   - Output Format
   - Background options
   - Text styling (bold/italic)
5. **Burn Subtitles** checkbox (✅ exists)
6. **Process Button** (✅ exists)

## Next Steps
1. Add a "Subtitle Styling" section to the frontend
2. Add form controls for all missing options
3. Update the `modulesApi.processSubtitles()` call to include all parameters
4. Test with different styling combinations
5. Consider adding a live preview of subtitle styling

## Files to Modify
- `/forge-ai/frontend/app/video/subtitles/page.tsx` - Add UI controls
- `/forge-ai/frontend/lib/api.ts` - Ensure processSubtitles accepts all parameters (likely already does)
