Free application for creating subtitle-based files and extensions
Subtitle Workshop is an excellent multimedia application in the event that a user wishes to create subtitles that will be added to an existing video file. It is often used by editors, translators and anyone who has been looking for a streamlined method to create a professional presentation. As multiple languages are supported, it may also address a number of business requirements.
Main Features and Uses
Subtitle Workshop is able to create bespoke subtitles in over 60 different formats and it is said that this number will continue to grow. The interface can be customized based off of user preferences and this will help to streamline the conversion process. It also offers an automatic system that will detect timing errors; a very real problem when creating a set of subtitles for different screens or audio sections. A fully integrated video player is another useful addition, as it precludes the use of third-party platforms during the editing process. Users that have downloaded this program highlight the following features:
. The "delay fixing" feature is great.
. It's good for beginners.
. It supports many formats.
. It's really good for timecoding.
Other Accessories
Subtitle Workshop displays relevant details in regards to the file such as text timing and any user-defined rules that may have been entered. Standard style tags such as italics and boldface type are supported while a spell checker is included as a standard feature. This open-source software will be updated from time to time. If you are looking for other free alternatives, we recommend you to download Aegisub or Subtitle Edit.
User reviews about Subtitle Workshop
by Mario DaSilva
I love the Subtitle Workshop because it has customizable tools that are very effective to use to edit and create good subtitles. Its program interface is very user-friendly that I'm sure even the first time users will find it easy to navigate. Plus, it offers more than 60 subtitle formats and multi-language interface. I actually like this a lot better than Subtitle edit. More

I discovered Subtitle Workshop while I was searching for the tutorials to create subtitles and one youtuber used this program to create subtitles which got my attention because this software is very easy to learn and use. Now, this is the most reliable subtitle maker for me. I think I will not find any other subtitle maker as long as they keep their software updated and in trend. More

Good software but does not appear to help with REPOSITIONING subtitles.
I believe that this software will be useful. However: My problem is the position of the subtitles on the screen when I try to incorporate them with an MP4 file using Handbrake or Format Factory. Very often the subtitles are too low and cut off at the bottom of the screen. It would be great if Subtitle Workshop were to provide a tool for helping with this, even if (for example) it added a blank line after every subtitle to move them up on the screen. This would be a pain to do manually, but I imagine that it could be automated in this software using a Macro.
VLC offers an option for adjusting the position of subtitles during playback, but this does not help if I want to burn the file with subtitles onto a DVD.
Pros:
edits individual lines of subtitles
changes format of lines
helps with adjusting timing
Cons:
tool for adjusting position of subtitles
utility for moving subtitles on the screen More

Great free program!.
Quick download. Easy to learn. Press F1 for help and it will be cake. I converted a .sub file that didn't work in my player to an .srt file. First I needed to re-sync the whole subtitle file in one shot. Fixing the sync was one simple step using their basic first and last dialogs sync tool. Then I simply saved it as a subrip .srt file and it now plays perfectly!This was my first time editing subtitles and this program made it simply and easy.One thing to look out for. If you don't want them to switch your home page and search provider you need to opt out of those when their downloader gives you the option. Also, after you do that the downloader will STILL try to automatically download and install their toolbar software so look out for that and cancel it from downloading. Or you can let them put all three on your computer and hopefully they'll get some money from it because they really deserve it as their software works great and it's free!
Pros:
Fast download
Easy to learn
Great help manual
Great features
Easy file conversions
Cons:
Watch out when installing if you don't want it to change your preferences and install it's toolbar. More
