How to Easily Convert SRT to VTT and VTT to SRT

In this easy to follow tutorial, I'll walk you through the process of converting an SRT (SubRip) subtitle file to VTT (WebVTT or Web Video Text Track) subtitle file using Subtitle Edit.

An SRT subtitle file and a VTT file are identical with a few differences.
- A VTT file has a title - WEBVTT that begins the subtitle file which the SRT file lacks.
- An SRT file has a numbering of the subtitle lines while this is missing from a VTT file.
- A comma separates the milliseconds in the SRT file and a period (full stop) separates the milliseconds.
- Finally, a VTT file supports the positioning of subtitles and some simple styling including bold, italics, etc while the SRT subtitle file does not support styling or positioning.
