You can also delete the added subtitle by clicking on the Delete or Bin icon beside the T+ icon. Now, you can click on Subtitle list to view the added subtitles, File Location to select a folder to export the edited video, all from the down side of the interface, and lastly, click the Export button to finish up.

Tips: Just in case you’re adding another subtitle, the Wondershare Uniconverter Subtitle editor will remind you to save the previously loaded subtitle as a mini window pops up, leaving you a Yes or No option.
