Aegisub vs Subtitle Edit Comments
Negative comment by Guest · Apr 27, 2017
Lots of important Subtitle Edit features are missing in Aegisub
Negative comment by Guest · Jul 21, 2017
the controlls for changing the timing are horrible and scrolling between frames are difficult as well
Positive comment by Raiyn235 · Aug 20, 2024
Editing subtitles in Aegisub is infinitely simpler and easier than SubEdit but both are free so I can't complain haha, SubEdit's OCR tool is unparalleled however.
