What this guide covers
A pointer table for editors and video producers choosing subtitle software. For six tools it lists the licence as the licence file reads, what the README says each handles, the install route and the documentation link. It is read from the README and licence files only; nothing was installed or run, and no tool is ranked.

Coverage
A pointer table for editors and video producers choosing subtitle software. For six tools it lists the licence as the licence file reads, what the README says each handles, the install route and the documentation link. It is read from the README and licence files only; nothing was installed or run, and no tool is ranked.
Useful starting points
- Read each project's licence file yourself before bundling or redistributing; here two projects name no licence in the main file and their README statements are recorded unreconciled.
- libass renders ASS subtitles inside other software; Aegisub and Subtitle Edit are the desktop editors, and pysubs2, srt and webvtt-py are Python libraries.
- Check that a converted subtitle file meets your delivery platform's own caption rules; this table makes no compliance claim.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
