Am I misunderstanding theatre shows needing their own screen subtitles? I imagine it's subtitling a recorded performance, so no different than most video. Please correct me if I'm making a wrong assumption there... How would this compare with Aegisub [0]? It's hard to tell without any screenshots of the software. If the two are even comparable at all, it might be nice to see why I should pick this over Aegisub. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegisub https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegisub

Video is irrelevant there. It's not about recorded show, what matters is live subtitles for theatre show. Imagine you're director of theatre show that's made in german - you're going to france. With german actors. You need to caption the play in french. You need to translate the lines and adjust screening of french subtitles.

  Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. It took a little bit more Google-Fu after you pointed me in the proper direction to learn about `captioned performances`. I guess I don't see nearly enough performances to not have had that be the first thing to pop in my head. :)

    Right. There's also another point of subtitling theatre - support for deaf people.

  Right. Opera has been using live supertitles for a long time (at least in the United States). I have to admit that I've never thought about how they were made.
