Subtitle Edit


Subtitle Edit is a free and open-source subtitle editor to create, edit, adjust or synchronize subtitles for videos. The application has a very easy to use interface containing a list of existing subtitles, a wave form to visualize audio waves and a player which looks like Windows Media Player 11. It uses the VLC media player, MPC-HC, Mpv or DirectShow to play videos.
SE supports 250+ subtitle formats. Some of the most popular formats are SubRip, Timed Text, SubStation Alpha, MicroDVD, SAMI, D-Cinema and BdSub.
SE is available in 34 languages and contains most of the features of a subtitle editor.
SE is developed and maintained by a software developer, Nikolaj Lynge Olsson from Denmark. It is hosted at GitHub.

Development

In 2001 Nikolaj Lynge Olsson had started the development on Subtitle Edit in Delphi which continued until April 2009. On 6 March 2009, 2.0 Beta 1 version was released. It was rewritten in C#.
Over time more developers have contributed to SE's development and it is still active.
On May 17, 2011 the developer announced the testing version of SE 3.2 for GNU/Linux. It uses the same source code that was developed for Windows, to implement it on GNU/Linux using Mono Project.
On October 17, 2011 the developer announced the availability of stable version for GNU/Linux. The developer himself stated that it is working well on Ubuntu.
