What SubtitleNEXT is
SubtitleNEXT is timed-text software for preparing and delivering subtitles, captions, audio descriptions, dubbing, and localization work. It supports offline subtitle preparation and export, live and semi-live subtitling and captioning, and online project management. Listed formats include STL/EBU, PAC, SRT, SUB, TTML, XML, TXT, and WebVTT. Quality checks can flag overlapping cues, duration and reading-speed issues, line limits, and typographic errors. Live output includes SDI and NDI graphics as well as Teletext/OP47 and closed captions. The localization line integrates with Avid iNews and Octopus newsroom systems, and lists machine translation connections including Microsoft, Google, DeepL, and LibreTranslate. SubtitleNEXT can export MOV with alpha or subtitle files for use with video editing software. It is designed for Windows; the FAQ describes running it on Mac through compatibility software and on Linux through Wine. Pricing is on request, there is no free plan, and a trial demo is available with limits: it cannot save in SubtitleNEXT format, restricts export or burn-in to the first 20 subtitles, watermarks output, and blocks copying subtitles to other programs.
