Export lines for Anki cards
Open the Video Flashcards side panel on a supported video, choose the audio and subtitle setup you want, click Apply selected, then use Export for Anki cards. The extension creates a text file prepared for Anki import.
The export is not meant as a general subtitle downloader. Its purpose is to prepare
subtitle rows for card creation.

In Anki, use File → Import, select the exported text file, choose your Video Flashcards note type, and map the imported columns to: Front, Back, Start, End, Index, Lang, VideoUrl.
