How to edit SRT subtitles

A typo in a subtitle, a name spelled wrong, a line that runs too long: fix it where it plays. Subwave shows each line over the video while you type, and saves a clean SRT file.

Edit in four steps

  1. Open Subwave and drop your video and its .srt file onto the page together. Subwave pairs them by name; it also opens an SRT file on its own.
  2. Find the line. Click it in the list on the right, or type a word in Filter the lines. The video jumps to it and shows it.
  3. Change the words in the box under the list. The subtitle on the video changes as you type. Ctrl+Enter goes to the next line.
  4. Save with Ctrl+S. In Chrome and Edge it goes back into the same file; elsewhere it downloads.

Tips

Private by design. Subwave reads your files where they are and saves to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
