SRT file example and format
Copy or download small, valid example subtitle files to test a player, an editor or an upload form.
SRT: a number, a timecode with a comma before the milliseconds, the text, then a blank line.
Result
WebVTT: starts with WEBVTT, uses a dot before the milliseconds, and the cue numbers are optional.
Result
ASS: a script header and style table, then one Dialogue line per cue.

What is an SRT file?
An SRT file (SubRip subtitle) is a plain-text subtitle file. Each cue has four parts: a sequence number, a timecode line such as 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,200, one or two lines of text, and a blank line. Times use hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, with a comma before the milliseconds.
Save SRT files as UTF-8 text so accented and non-Latin characters display correctly. Use the subtitle checker to test your own file against common line-length and reading-speed rules.
Questions
Can I use these samples in my project?
Yes. They are free to use for testing.
What is the difference between SRT and VTT?
They are very similar. VTT adds a header, uses a dot in timecodes and supports positioning and styling for web players.
How do I translate a sample?
Download it, then upload it to Aivently and choose a target language.
