FAB Subtitler STD

FAB Subtitler STD (Standard) is a software package for a PC with Windows which is used for preparation of subtitles and for import and export of over 90 different subtitle file formats.

FAB Subtitler STD can open video files in many different formats, however frame accurate navigation will always work correctly for MPEG1, WMV, MXF and MOV/MP4 video files. Other types of video files may also work but this depends on the codecs which are installed on the PC. An audio graph is displayed which is very helpful for visual presentation of IN and OUT timecodes over the audio. FAB Subtitler can convert almost any video file to MP4 and scene changes will be detected and stored as metadata in the MP4 file so that these are displayed in the audio graph when preparing subtitles.

FAB Subtitler supports configuration profiles. A configuration set can be stored in a file and loaded at any time. Multiple configuration sets can be used for production of subtitles following different guidelines, like number of frames between subtitles, maximum duration of a subtitle.
