Subtitle Edit Pro for Mac5.3

Does someone if the app translate from spanish to english?

When I export EBU STL and import it into Adobe Premier Pro, it leaves spaces between subtitles. What am I doing wrong? Any setting suggestions.??

I jumped and paid about $45 CAD for Subtitle Edit Pro. I thought it was a lot of money but after struggling with all the awkward java freeware, SEP is the only subtitle creation and editing tool which works at all intuitively in terms of synchronising words and text. You just drag and drop on a moving timeline. To shorten a subtitle or lengthen it, you only need to pull the start or end bubble further along a visual audio waveform. Couldn't be easier.

The hard burning of subtitles does not work in my version. If you'd prefer to soft add your subtitles (generally better for an Apple audience or those with current computers and AV players), it's not part of SEP.

To add soft subtitles, these same guys also have Subtitle Writer. An additional $5 to $10 and it looks really awkward. Fortunately there's a much better freeware program. The best application to mux soft subtitles is Subler which has existed for many years. Previous versions even run on old versions of OS X. I don't have a recommendation for hard coding subtitles yet.

If money is an issue, some of my colleagues have developed a method of using YouTube to create subtitled video. Don't worry, your videos will never be public and you can delete them after creating the subtitles. https://foliovision.com/2017/02/youtube-subtitle-auto-transcribing

While free and a good subtitle creation tool, YouTube's subtitler is not as flexible as SEP though, especially if you delete the videos (it would mean reuploading everything to revise). And anything on YouTube belongs to US security agencies so SEP might work better for you, as it does for me.

I visited the developer's website at http://www.finalsub.com/sep.html in order to learn more about this app. There is a helpful tutorial video there which briefly explains the app's basic operations.

While the tutorial video is great, before investing $30.00 in this app, most people will want to actually try it out for themselves, in order to determine if it truly meets their needs, before parting with their money.

While I found a link for a trial version on the "Question and Answer" page of the site, once I downloaded it, I discovered that the app was version 3.4.1 -- not the latest 3.5.1 -- and an on-screen dialog informed me that it was already expired. So it was just a waste of my time.

I encourage the developer -- bin liu/Somac -- to provide end users with a fully-working, uncrippled demo of this app, so we can properly evaluate the app before committing to an App Store purchase.

Thank you.
