Aegisub description
Aegisub is a very advanced and easy to use subtitle editor for the ASS, SSA and SRT formats

Aegisub is a general-purpose, open-source SubStation Alpha subtitle editor that was created to help in many aspects of subtitle typesetting, timing and editing by correcting flawed features found in the Medusa Subtitling Station and adding many that it lacked.

With many specialized tools to complement the generic, easy to use interface, Aegisub is now the most advanced SSA/ASS subtitle editor in the world.

A comprehensive manual (including step by step tutorials) ensures that anyone can be working with Aegisub in a very short time.
