How to open SBT file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SBT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Subtitle Workshop
In this case, you should first verify that the Subtitle Workshop application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Subtitle Workshop in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SBT files.
Programs to open SBT file
Remember to download programs supporting SBT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Subtitle Workshop with SBT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SBT file to open in the Subtitle Workshop application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SBT file with the Subtitle Workshop application.
Step 3. Update Subtitle Workshop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Subtitle Workshop program with the SBT Subtitle Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Subtitle Workshop team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SBT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SBT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SBT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SBT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SBT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SBT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting URUWorks, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SBT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SBT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SBT file again. However, some background programs may block the SBT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
