  subed
  ═════

    subed is an Emacs major mode for editing subtitles while playing the
    corresponding media file with [mpv]. At the moment, the only supported
    formats are:

    • SubRip ( `.srt')
    • WebVTT ( `.vtt' )
    • Advanced SubStation Alpha ( `.ass', experimental )
    • Tab-separated values ( `.tsv', experimental ) - as exported by
      Audacity for labels. TSVs are not recognized automatically because
      it's a common data format, but you can use `subed-tsv-mode' to turn
      it on in a buffer.
