Definition
A subtitle track is a separate timed text asset that a player can load, hide, or switch independently from the video pixels.
How it appears in real workflows
Creators and localization teams can review an SRT or VTT track before publishing it with a video. Keep the track and its language version tied to the intended release.
What it is not
A track is independent from hardcoded text and does not automatically remove text already visible in the picture.
Review questions
- What is the actual source: audio, visible text or a separate subtitle file?
- Which episode, market, language or product version does this output belong to?
- What must be checked before the localized video or subtitle file is released?

Apply this term in a real workflow
Use subtitle track as a review decision, not just a label on a task. Identify the source asset, the version being changed and who can approve the result. A mechanically valid subtitle can still contain the wrong name, product detail or intended meaning.
