How do I create an SRT file on my MacBook?
Hi there, I want to create subtitles on videos and I need to use SRT files. How do I create an SRT file on my MacBook?
Is there an easy step by step process?

An .srt is simply a plain text file with sequence numbers, time markers, and captions. You can use any text editor to make one. Follow the pattern:
1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:04,500
So it was with my formal education
as well.
2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,250
Each weekday, while my father worked
on his Sunday sermon...
3
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:10,000
I attended the school
of the Reverend Maclean.
The first number (e.g., 00:00:00,500) in each pair indicates when the caption starts. The second number (e.g., 00:00:04,500) in each pair indicates when the caption stops.
If you're going to be captioning many videos, consider an application that merges a text editor and video preview window. Jubler (http://www.jubler.org/) is one.
