You can write out subtitles by hand if you want though the process is greatly expedited by a program. To do so, open up a Text editor like Window's Notepad or Apple's TextEdit (both free and pre-installed), and make sure you know the proper format for a subtitle. Before beginning, click "Save As" and title it after tunnel rush "YourMovie.SRT." Then set the encoding to "ANSI" for English subtitles and "UTF-8" for Non-English. Then write out your titles. Each of the following parts goes on its own line, so hit "enter" after each one: The number of a subtitle. 1 would be the first title, 2 the second, etc. The duration of the subtitle. This is written in the format hours:minutes:seconds: milliseconds --> hours:minutes:seconds: milliseconds Example: 00:01:20:003 --> 00:01:27:592 The text of the subtitle: This is simply what the title will say. A blank line. Leave one blank line before the number of the next title
