Subtitle Edit (also known as SE) 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 or DirectShow to play videos.
SE supports 200+ subtitle formats. Some of the most popular formats are SubRip, Timed Text, SubStation Alpha, MicroDVD, SAMI, D-Cinema, BdSub.
SE is available in 29 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.
