Do subtitle lines appear too early, too late, or in the wrong place? Subtitle Workshop lets you create and edit subtitle files, check them against a video preview, and save them in another supported format.
Build or revise subtitle entries
Start a subtitle file with new dialogue, or open an existing file to change its text. Each entry has a display time that you can adjust so the words appear and disappear at the intended points in the video.
The spell checker can catch spelling mistakes as you work through the lines. The video preview shows how the subtitles appear on screen, including their placement, so you can make adjustments before saving.
Match subtitle timing to the video
Play the video with the subtitle track visible to spot lines that arrive late or early. Adjust the entry timings and preview the result again to see whether the text now follows the dialogue. The preview also lets you assess subtitle placement while the video is playing.
- Open the video and its subtitle file to compare the text with the scene.
- Change the timing of individual entries that do not match the dialogue.
- Check the adjusted timing and on-screen position in the preview.
Save in a supported subtitle format
Subtitle Workshop can open and save files in multiple subtitle formats, making it possible to edit a file and export it in a different format when needed. Supported types include ASS, AQT, TXT, ASC, DKS, SUB, MPL, PSB, SMI, STL, VSF, and ZEG, along with other formats.
