SRT (SubRip Text) is a file format that is commonly used to encode subtitles for movies and television shows.
SRT files contain the text of the subtitles, as well as timestamps indicating when each subtitle should be displayed and for how long.
SRT files can be easily edited and manipulated using a text editor, and they are supported by a wide range of media players and video editing software.
SRT files are typically used to encode subtitles in different languages, and they can be easily converted to other subtitle file formats using a variety of online tools or specialized software.
To create an SRT file, the subtitle text and timestamps must be entered into a text editor. The text of each subtitle is preceded by a number indicating its position in the sequence of subtitles, and the start and end times for each subtitle are indicated using a specific timestamp.
Once the SRT file has been created, it can be associated with a digital video file using a media player or video editing software.
SRT files are widely used because they are simple to create and edit, and they are supported by a wide range of media players and video editing software.
They are also easily compatible with other subtitle file formats, making it easy to convert between different file formats as needed.
