Software for subtitling video

[Richard Robin]

My suggestion is to google "srt captions". SRT files are simple text files
that allow you to caption non-invasively. (You don't actually change the
video file.) But you do have to sit down and carefully time out the
captions. The timings are a pain. The rest is easy.
