    Subtitle Edit VS Aegisub

     
    Comments about Subtitle Edit as an Alternative to Aegisub

    Subtitle edit now has an updated modern interface and core supporting most subtitle formats and smooth editing. Aegisub continues to be an eternal 2010, supporting few modern formats.

    I see NO reason to NOT pick subtitle edit over aegisub as of February 2025. Take my words with a grain of salt if you are reading this three years on. Aegisub may finally gets an update. Who knows?
