Actually there are lots of samples and templates, so up to you to have a look at them.

Universal subtitles

Good morning:

I have recently discovered one website where anyone can contribute. It's Universal subtitles by Amara. It is an organisatio promoting both the trascription and translation of subtitles for allkinds of videos.

It's free and you can contribute even with a single line.

There's isalso another option: if you want to subtitle your own video, you can do it in a very simple way.
