About SUBtools

SUBtools is primarily designed to be a helper-application for MP4toolsMKVtools, and AVItools. Subtitle files can be sent to it from any of these three applications for quck editing and then sent back for incorporation into a processed video. If desired, it can also be used as a light-weight standalone subtitle editor. SUBtools is a part of the VIDEOtoolbox suite of applications so if you already have a VIDEOtoolbox registration code, you can immediately get started editing subtitles.

    • Export to SRT or ASS format

    • Can edit subtitle times individually (i.e., line by line) or for all lines of dialog (shift or stretch).

    • Edit SSA/ASS styles
    • Can filter subtitles using SSA/ASS styles
