subtitle file format

Subtitle file formats are text files that contain timed captions synchronized with video. They use specific structures to indicate when each caption appears and disappears on the screen. Common formats like SRT (SubRip Subtitle) list caption numbers, timestamps, and the text to display. These files can be easily created, edited, and imported into various media players and video editing software, enabling viewers to see dialogue, descriptions, or translations alongside the video. Overall, they serve as a bridge to enhance understanding and accessibility by providing synchronized textual content for audiovisual media.
