Subtitle Edit - An Open Source Subtitles Editor
Subtitle Edit is an amazing program, whose primary function is the creation and editing of subplots from a simple interface that would enable you to adjust a few lines in a matter of minutes. Something which may give you so much a headache, such as out-of-sync subtitles, can all be fixed within the main window of this software by just adjusting the duration that you would like to delay or speed up the subtitles (depending on their sync status). Moreover, you can also easily create subplots with the help of a few tools and techniques. The first technique is to use the "iso string" to create a label for every scene in the film with the help of a movie title. For example, if your film is 'Sneakers', the subplot for each of the characters in the film would be labeled Sneakers - John. This technique saves you so much time as you no longer have to go through each and every scene manually to create separate labels for each subplot.
Subtitle Edit also includes an amazing set of tools which you would not find in other similar products. One such tool is the "split screen toggle", which lets you easily open two windows simultaneously. You can drag the windows on the right side of your screen to split the screen horizontally or vertically. The second tool in the package is the "heading indicator", which helps you highlight the proper frame rate while editing. Last but not least, Subtitle Edit also includes a number of useful features such as the ability to add the time code to the title so that it becomes easier to track the changes.
With all the fantastic tools that Subtitle Edit provides, it is surprising that it is still one of the most popular editing apps in the marketplace today. While there are similar programs which are available free on the internet, none offers the level of features that this software product does. If you would like to edit any video with subtitles, select save as plain format from Windows instead of using the proprietary formats, or even create and save a custom file, then Subtitle Edit is an ideal choice for you.
