Subtitle Edit
Subtitle Edit (also known as SE) is a free and open-source subtitle editor to create, edit, adjust or synchronize subtitles for videos. The application has a very easy to use interface containing a list of existing subtitles, a wave form to visualize audio waves and a player which looks like Windows Media Player 11. It uses the VLC media player, MPC-HC, Mpv or DirectShow to play videos.

Development
In 2001 Nikolaj Lynge Olsson had started the development on Subtitle Edit in Delphi which continued until April 2009. On 6 March 2009, 2.0 Beta 1 version (build 42401) was released.[2] It was rewritten in C#.
Over time more developers have contributed to SE's development and it is still active.
On May 17, 2011 the developer announced the testing version of SE 3.2 for GNU/Linux.[3] It uses the same source code that was developed for Windows, to implement it on GNU/Linux using Mono Project.
On October 17, 2011 the developer announced the availability of stable version for GNU/Linux.[4] The developer himself stated that it is working well on Ubuntu.
