SubRip Subtitles

SRT (SubRip Subtitle) is one of the most widely used subtitle file formats for displaying timed text along with video content. It is a simple and human-readable format, making it popular among content creators and consumers alike. SRT files contain information about the timing and content of subtitles, allowing them to be synchronized with video playback.

Format

SRT files typically consist of multiple subtitle entries, each representing a specific segment of text to be displayed at a particular point in time during video playback. The structure of an SRT file is straightforward:

1. Subtitle Number: Each subtitle entry begins with a numerical identifier.
2. Timing Information: Timing information indicates when the subtitle should appear and disappear on the screen. It is expressed in the format start time --> end time.
3. Subtitle Text: The actual text content of the subtitle appears below the timing information. It may span multiple lines but does not contain any markup or formatting.

Here is an example of a basic SRT file:

1
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,000
Hello, world!

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
This is a sample subtitle.

Timing Format

The timing information in SRT files follows a specific format:

• Start Time: Indicates when the subtitle should appear on the screen. It is represented in the format hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds.
• End Time: Indicates when the subtitle should disappear from the screen. It follows the same format as the start time.

The start and end times are separated by -->, and milliseconds are separated from seconds by a comma.
