What does SRT stand for?

SRT is short for SubRip Subtitle format. It got its name from a DVD-ripping software that was used to extract the subtitles and their timings from DVDs and other types of videos. It’s a universal subtitle format which contains the captions, sequence numbers, and timecode.

How to export SRT or VTT files?

When you've finished with your editing you simply hit the download button and select the types of files you'd like to download, including VTT and SRT as options.

How to Merge SRT with MP4?

If you already have an SRT file, you can add this to a video (MOV or MP4) that you have uploaded. Once uploaded you can edit if needed, or just use it as it is. Just look for the tool icon in the video editor screen to find the option to upload your own SRT file. Once you download your video, it will have your SRT file burned into it unless you choose a different download option.

How to change timestamps?

You can change the timestamps in the subtitles editor or on the timeline. You can add, edit and delete timestamps too.
