Subtitle Editor FAQs

Common questions about editing subtitles online, from syncing and styling to formats.

How do I edit a subtitle file online?

Upload your subtitle file to Maestra and it opens directly in the editor. From there you can rewrite the text, adjust each cue's timing, and style the appearance, then download the finished file.

Can I edit subtitles without downloading software?

There's nothing to install. Maestra's subtitle editor runs entirely in your browser, so it works on Windows, Mac, Chromebooks, and any device with an internet connection.

How do I fix subtitles that are out of sync?

If every line is off by the same amount, shift the whole track at once with the subtitle shifter. If only some cues drift, open the file in the editor and retime those lines individually.

What if I don't have a subtitle file yet?

Upload your video or audio to Maestra and subtitles are generated automatically in 125+ languages. The generated track opens in the same editor, ready for you to fine-tune.

Can I change the font, color, and background of my subtitles?

Styling is built into the editor. Pick a font, set the size and color, add a background box for readability, and position the captions anywhere on screen, with a live preview on your video.

Which subtitle formats can I edit?

Maestra works with common subtitle formats like SRT and VTT, and you can export to a different format than the one you imported. For quick format changes without editing, use the subtitle converter.

Is the online subtitle editor free?

Editing subtitles in Maestra is free to use after a quick signup. Longer videos and advanced features may need a paid plan, and you can see what's included on the pricing page.
