How to create an SRT file
In captioning, a text file format is used, which you can easily create using TextEdit (on a Mac) or Notepad (on a Windows PC).
An SRT file consists of four parts:
- The number of the caption frame in a sequence
- Beginning and end timecodes for when the caption frame should appear
- The caption itself
- A blank line to indicate the start of a new caption sequence
Note:
Rev is a service that will do this whole process for you and deliver the SRT file for a per-minute fee. You can check out what they offer here.
