Subtitle Edit - Tutorial - Getting Started

[@HomemdaFaina]

He actually says "Wait, wait, wait, wait!" :) Thank you for the short and informative video.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Subtitle Edit is an absolutely fantastic piece of software. I've been running a much older version on Windows XP for a number of years, but only recently I got a new superfast PC with Windows 10, then installed the latest version of SE, which has a lot more features. I'm still only learning the basics of what this software can do, but what I wanted primarily was a way to grab speech from a foreign-language movie, in this case Spanish, and save it in a text file. It's simply amazing what this application can achieve.

[@summertube1]

Please how do you grab speech and save as a text file using SE?

[@Vinkovcanka]

Thanks for sharing this. I've downloaded everything as recommended and it works perfectly.

[@Lyricallyoncloud9]

mine doesn't it shows service unavailable please help

[@eliasnavytanga]

Brilliant video. Thanks for taking your time to share the knowledge.

[@sranzuline]

I edited and isolated 'Safe Haven' from VHS 2 (it's my only favorite segment in the entire film). It featured an Asian language and I worried I'd suffer from time-consuming and painstaking subtitle editing using only Notepad. Good thing I saw this video and learned about the software. Thank you very much!

[@ADiTI-bs9yf]

Thanks for helping! This video means so much to me, I have been looking for a tutorial on Subtitle Edit but wasn't able to get any. Thanks to you! I am able to finish my work much faster now! 😄❤

[@ChrisHaupt]

That's wonderful to hear ☺️ I will be making an updated video soon 🙏

thank you so much for this video, really clear and i really needed it

Thank you. Have learnt something.

thanks bro.. short and very helpful

[@1989AlphA]

Thank you. This was very helpful!!

[@NetTubeUser]

3:42 -- Subtitles don't use every word or the viewer doesn't have time to read and watch the movie at the same time. In this case, they just use "Wait..." and don't repeat the word multiple times. Subtitles always must be short, that's why they are not always perfect.

[@ChrisHaupt]

I see, thank you 🙏

[@NetTubeUser]

@@ChrisHaupt You're welcome ;-)

[@safia.baraka116]

Thank you for the tutorial 🙏 can I know if it's available for Mac?

Hello Chris! I have installed Subtitle Edit 3.6.6, but no matter what I do, it refuses to play a video. I have installed VLC media player, Subtitle Edit has asked me: " SE was unable to play the video/audio file ..... To use the recommended video player "MPV" click on the button below", and I have done thet too, but still no video playing.

[@ChrisHaupt]

Hi, could you please record what happens when you try to play a video? You can use Loom to make a recording and create a link for free. Please send to [e-mail]

I wish there was a native version of this for macOS!

[@mnmmpr]

Thanks for the tutorial. Could you also do a tutorial for captioning an online video?

[@ChrisHaupt]

an online video from which website?

[@xinek82]

Can this program fix the sound on my video file? The sound in the video is very low. Or do I need another program for that?

[@omarabdi77]

“Subtitling” definitely keeps you busy. Great hobby, but time consuming.

[@danko4250]

Hello, thank you for the video! May I ask you if there is some option how to make the subtitles lines (in the List view section) scroll down automatically as the video continues? Like a, when you want to edit the line, you have to find it in the list first... so it would be more comfortable if you are automatically always at the current line as the video. Thanks!

[@xinek82]

Iam using a media player called GOM player to play the video. Wich is a mp4 player. Video file is a mp4 file. Or can it be that the sub editing program dosen´t work so well with that video files? That´s why is being difficult for me? Other than the audio delay it works fine.

[@animediaries987]

Is there a keyboard shortcut for 'Play current subtitle' (The Speaker icon)

[@xinek82]

Hello! I have been working with this program for 2 or 3 weeks. Worked fine. Until recently I cant hear the sentence they say, when I click "Play section". It´s a delay in the sound. Like: "How are you feeling today?" But I hear: "you feeling today." Even if I have marked all the sound wave that is this sentence. I still can´t here all of it. What is wrong and how do I fix it? Working wit this problem makes it very hard. Thankfull for answers.

[@ChrisHaupt]

are you using Bluetooth headphones or speaker?

[@xinek82]

@@ChrisHaupt normal sound from PC. But it dosen´t matter where the sound comes from. It´s still a delay sound in the sub edit program. sound from the PC it self works fine. But not in the editing program.

[@ChrisHaupt]

if this is a recent problem, have you tried reinstalling the program?

[@xinek82]

@@ChrisHaupt No I have not. But to open up the rar file I have to use winrar. It has expire.

Hey! I need some help with subtitle edit. I have already downloaded vlc but when trying to open a video file, subtitle edit says it need mpv media player but I don't want to download it. What can I do? Is there any other solution or other software?

[@ChrisHaupt]

It seems this is the only way for now, sorry. Apparently a known issue. Anyway MPV is small and works well, it doesn't really matter.

[@yagnikbose8973]

@@ChrisHaupt alright. I guess I'll have to install it too. Thanks!

[@Omnifonist]

Hello, so far I haven't managed to transcribe 2 languages: Indian and Arabic with the subtitle edit. I hope someone would help me. thank you kindly

[@lihiwood9061]

Hello, what about transcription with no timing? I want to transcript but no timing needed and at the end to taje all the text and copy it to word dox document. Can you please guide how to do that? Thank you

[@lihiwood9061]

@Mukhtar Hussain great. How?

[@ChrisHaupt]

There are services such as Descript that you can use to automatically transcribe the audio

[@saiharshith1477]

thank you

[@sageeden7274]

This is very nice! One question, though, how do I change things such as color, bold/italic/underline etc.? Thanks

[@sageeden7274]

Also, how do I change locations of subtitles, I'm looking to make Tom Scott-style subtitles. They have different colors, different locations, and overall make it easy to read.

[@ChrisHaupt]

I'm sorry but these features are not available in Subtitle Edit. This program is mainly for providing subtitles or hard-of-hearing text. You may want to use something more full-featured such as DaVinci Resolve (also free) if you want to get creative!

[@LuckyLeverVIEJO]

@@sageeden7274 right click subtitle, there is a menu with everything you need

[@akamstar]

Perfect 👍

[@xinek82]

Now its working normal again. Guess it needed to update or something. Thanks anyway. Hope it stays like this now. Take care. Snd good video

[@savvytherealsavage]

If you've worked with Rev's Dash work station, you get bored working on these other software. Any developer who can work on such kind of subtitle/caption software?

[@comuniunecuosho-campulbudi7611]

Is Rev's Dash discontinued ? Can't find any download link anywhere.
