Creating Subtitles For Your Videos With SRT

Creating subtitles for your videos is simple with SRT. It is also free to use. However, there are a few things to know before you jump in.

First, you have to create a time code for the text. This time code tells you how long the text will appear on the screen. This could be hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, or another format.

Next, you have to put the timecode in the proper angle bracket. This may take a while to master. For instance, it could take as long as five to ten times the length of the video to do the calculation.

The best way to create a time code is to use a subtitle auto-generation program. These programs have some cool features, such as syntax highlighting, find and replace, and coding. You can even edit the texts within the file.

The SRT protocol also has a few more features, including a 256-bit AES encryption and flexible network address translation. This is important, as SRT works great with firewalls.

In addition, you can save your SRT file in different formats. This is especially handy if you want to upload your file to various sites. For example, you can upload your SRT file to YouTube and then enter your subtitles again using YouTube's own Subtitles Editor.

If you are looking to create a large number of SRT files, it may be worth it to learn how to create them in an online subtitle creator. Depending on the software you choose, these services can offer varying quality and reliability.
