Hello,
I am a last-year student writing a paper in which I would like to compare 4 subtitling softwares.
I would like to know, what is most important to you in the software you use ?
What are the most important characteristics in a subtitling software ?
Thank you for your help,

It should be compatible with other subtitle programmes.

The price should be decent and not over-the-top (it is unbelievable what these programmes cost when you think about what they do or dont do)

useful functions apart from the obvious would be fast forward/rewind and slow-mo

very useful is a frame-screen/timeline (the thing that shows you every single frame; in WinCaps there is now additionally to that the wave of the audio - very useful!)

I'm sorry if I can't think of any more right now, I haven't used my subtitling software for a while!
