Hi everyone!

I have been using the amara online subtitling software for years now. I just love it...

And using any of these softwares has become a nightmare, I find them very hard to use.

Do you know a software as user friendly as the amara subtitler? ▲ Collapse

Subtitle Edit Dec 8, 2017

Hi there!

Honestly, I've never used Amara, but I tried several different free subtitle programs and find Subtitle Edit to be very user-friendly. It makes it easy to create new subtitles, to adjust timing and format, control CPS/CPL limits specifically for every project and it has a function to translate existing subtitle files. SCC and ITT are supported and you can find many tutorials on youtube. Give it a chance.

Aegisub? Dec 8, 2017

Hello there,
Same as Philipp here, I'm a beginner in using SubtitleEdit and I find it very user-friendly. Aegisub is another recommended software, however I haven't find the time to learn about it. Here's a tutorial:

Hope you find it helpful!
