GNOME Subtitles Free Subtitle Editor Software Gets a Major Update After Two Years of Silence

After more than two years of silence, Pedro Castro announced today a new major release of the GNOME Subtitles free and open-source subtitle editor for the GNOME desktop environment.

If you never heard of GNOME Subtitles before, let me tell you that it’s a powerful subtitle editor for the Linux desktop, supporting most common text-based subtitle formats and offering features like subtitle translation, synchronization of times and frames, as well as built-in video previewing. The new release, GNOME Subtitles 1.7, is here to rewrite the GStreamer media playback engine to support newer and modern video formats. In addition, it improves audio and video playback support by allowing users to open an audio file after a video file display the last played frame, fixes video player stutters, fixes an issue with the side bar resizing itself during video playback, and disables VAAPI by default to prevent playback issues.
