Only subtitle editors that I have tried myself. Aegisub (free and open source) A subtitle editor with many advanced features, like subtitle positioning and rotation, as well as karaoke mode. I heard it was being used by Crunchyroll, that would boost your confidence using it. Plenty of documentations too. But no longer updated.

Aegisub (free and open source) A subtitle editor with many advanced features, like subtitle positioning and rotation, as well as karaoke mode. I heard it was being used by Crunchyroll, that would boost your confidence using it. Plenty of documentations too. But no longer updated. Kainote (free and open source) A subtitle editor aiming to be the spiritual successor of Aegisub. Latest version released in April this year. Capable to perform most of Aegisub's features. Documentations are mostly only available in Polish. What I don't like about it, is that Kainote also cache video and audio files. This will eat up your disk storage quite fast unless you delete them manually. Subtitle Edit (free and open source) Very clean and straightforward interface. Not as powerful as the above mentioned, but should do the job for basic subtitling works. May require VLC to play the video and create audio waveform. ZOOSubs (paid, cloud-based) Mostly comparable to Subtitle Edit. For best compatibility, use Google Chrome to access the service.

You could get Wincaps, which I find quite reliable and good for most purposes: https://broadstream.com/. There is currently a discount, too, for six-month and one-year subscriptions, which make it more affordable. | | |

Personally I have a love-hate relationship with Camtasia. I find it user friendly, and when it is good, it's very good, but sometimes it can malfunction on a laptop and cause huge (i.e., time consuming) problems. Sometimes it even randomly loads my files as Korean (my files are not in Korean and I can't speak Korean). I am always on the lookout for other programmes too though. | | |

Apparently it does this also, I'm not sure as I have never used Camtasia for this purpose. You can also create captions in Camtasia and export them as an SRT file. | |
