Post‑Editing SRT Files and Proofreading

Post‑editing subtitles is not always required, but if you want to make changes, here is how to do it.

✏️ Step 1: Edit Your SRT File

Open the .srt file in any text editor or word processor (e.g., Notepad for Windows, TextEdit for Mac).
Make the necessary changes to the text or timing.

⚠️ Important:

Save the file in .srt format and use UTF‑8 encoding.

Correct: corporate.srt

Incorrect: corporate.txt.srt

📤 Step 2: Upload Your Edited File

Go to My Videos on our website.
Upload the updated .srt file.
We will render a new 1080p hardcoded video for you free of charge.

To preview your updated file before uploading, you can use VLC Media Player.

🧾 Correct SRT Formatting

When editing your subtitles, correct formatting is crucial for smooth playback.

Ensure there are no overlapping timecodes
Add a blank line underneath each subtitle block

Tip: If you add or delete subtitles, you do NOT need to keep the numbering in sequence. Any numbering works.

Example

1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,640
Look at the size of that trunk.
You could put three bodies in there.
(Always a blank line!)

3
00:00:07,460 --> 00:00:10,599
Just kidding. Just trying to levitate the situation.

4
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:15,959
Okay, thank you. We appreciate it.
-Sure. Hey, what kind of car do you drive anyway?
