Therefore, a tool to change subtitle timings is required. Jubler is a platform-independent subtitle authoring tool which can seamlessly set the subtitles according to one’s requirement. It not only allows user to correct subtitle timing but can be used to convert, transform, and refine subtitle text while letting user change font size, family, and color.
