Underword is a visual editor for subtitles in the SubRip (.srt) and WebVTT (.vtt) file formats.

To unlock the full potential of Underword, select a video to show alongside the editor. If you can open the video in QuickTime, you can open it in Underword. The subtitles will be visualized in real time on top of it. (The WebVTT format is interpreted differently by various internet browsers and video players. Please visit the website to learn how they are displayed in Underword.)

You can start creating subtitles from scratch, or by importing text (e.g. from a film script) that will be divided into subtitles which can then be adjusted.

The timeline view allows you to resize and rearrange subtitles with intuitive gestures. Dragged subtitle boundaries automatically snap to the timeline cursor and at a distance of two empty frames to other subtitles. Menu commands let you set the start or the end of the currently selected subtitle to the position of the timeline cursor, which is in sync with the played video.

Precisely control all the subtitle settings with manual text input. Toggle bold, italics and underline for the selected text range, or split the subtitle into two subtitles at the text cursor position.

If you have any requests, suggestions or bug reports, you're welcome to visit the website through the Support link.

Release notes:
• Added support for the WebVTT file format (.vtt).
• Added support for multiple tracks. When opening a document, overlapping subtitles are automatically arranged on adjacent tracks. Track information is not saved when closing a document; tracks only function as additional space when dragging and reordering subtitles.
• The subtitles' start and end times can now be edited by opening the subtitle settings panel from the Edit menu, or by double clicking a subtitle in the list view.
