The Subtitles Panel was added in Shotcut 24.08
The Subtitles Panel can be used to add subtitles to a project. Subtitles can only be added to the Timeline. They can not be added to the playlist or clips. We recommend to save subtitle editing until the timeline editing is complete because moving or cutting clips on the timeline will break the subtitle synchronization.
Subtitle Tracks
To start editing subtitles, click the “add” button and give the subtitle track and name and language.
