Hi all. I normally use WinCaps or PMWin but this time I'm using Subtitle Workshop for the first time.

Alternatively, I could ask the client to send me an empty time cued file, but if it's .stl or .txt, will SW be able to access it?

Otherwise it's quite good, I think, considering it's free, it's pretty good for basic stuff, I guess?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Saggi.
Two months ago I subtitled a video and used DivxLand. There were many programs that couldn’t show subtitles properly. However, I tried to reproduce the files and subtitles with BSplayer and it worked right!
Perhaps you should tell your client to try that software.
Regards,
Fernando

Thanks, Fernando. I finally tried to save the file as .text, and that has worked. But Subtitle Workshop isn't something I'm familiar with. Am still getting to grips with it!
