Underword 4+

Underword is a visual editor for subtitles in the WebVTT (.vtt) and SubRip (.srt) file formats.

To unlock the full potential of Underword, select a video to show alongside the editor. If you can open the video in QuickTime, you can open it in Underword. The subtitles will be visualized in real time on top of it. (The WebVTT format is interpreted differently by various internet browsers and video players. Please visit the website to learn how they are displayed in Underword.)

You can start creating subtitles from scratch, or by importing text (e.g. from a film script) that will be divided into subtitles which can then be adjusted.

The timeline view allows you to resize and rearrange subtitles with intuitive gestures. Dragged subtitle boundaries automatically snap to the timeline cursor and at a distance of two empty frames to other subtitles. Menu commands with keyboard shortcuts let you set the start or end time of the selected subtitle to the current video time. When setting the end time of the selected subtitle, the next subtitle is selected automatically, allowing you to adjust as many subtitles as you need in a single run.

Precisely control all the subtitle settings with manual text input. Toggle bold, italics and underline for the selected text range, or split the subtitle into two subtitles at the text cursor position.
