Subtitld
An open source software to create, edit and transcribe subtitles. It is able to work with SRT, SSA, TTML, SBV, DFXP, VTT, XML, SCC and SAMI file formats.
Getting Started
If you need some more information on how to use the software, please visit the project website at subtitld.org. Here are the instructions to install Subtitld from the source. Please note that you need to follow this intructions only if you really want to run Subtitld from source. If you are not familiar with the terminal and just want to install and use it in a easy way, you are encouraged to use the Snap package (available on Ubuntu Software) on Linux distributions or the Windows Installer (available from the website).
Prerequisites
Subtitld uses 2 main tools to work. The ffmpeg is used for internal processes and libmpv for video playback. Also, it uses PySide6 for the GUI. Depending on your system you will need to install PySide6 separatelly. For example, if you use a Ubuntu system, you can install this tools using apt:
sudo apt install ffmpeg libmpv1
Also, Subtitld is written using Python version 3. The majority of modern Linux distributions already have this version installed or at least available. Make sure you have Python 3 on your system. Windows users will need to install it.
Running from source
You will need to download Subtitld source code. You can download a Zip or Tar package from GitLab project page, but maybe an easier way to download the source code is using git clone command, like this:
git clone https://gitlab.com/jonata/subtitld.git
Considering that you have ffmpeg and libmpv installed, and Python 3 is available on your system, you can install all needed packages using pip.
Using the terminal, go to the subtitld folder you just downloaded or cloned and run the command:
sudo python3 setup.py install
Now you are able to run Subtitld from source. Run the following code:
python3 subtitld
or just
subtitld
Made possible mainly by
- PySide6 - The Qt5 GUI library for Python
- ffmpeg - The absolute solution for media manipulation
- libmpv - The powerful MPV media playback engine
