What is the best subtitle software for Mac (free or not) that supports all formats? The client asked me to send the subtitles in .pac format so I thought Eztitles and SubtitleNext were the best options for me since i can convert them in that rather rare format but apparently they don't work on macs.

Thank you for your help!

Annotation Edit Aug 14, 2020

Hello,

To my knowledge, the only professional subtitle software for Mac is Annotation Edit. It does export your work as Screen PAC (among many other pro formats). It's not free, though.

Thank you! But which product should I buy to be able to create subtitles and export them to pac? All in one?
Will Translate Pro do the job or must I buy two separate products to convert them to .pac in the end?

I own the software, and I not only checked that the format was listed in the "export" menu, but before posting here, I did export a previous work into Screen PAC, and it worked without problem.

Maybe you looked on the website, instead of downloading a trial version and trying yourself?

Indeed it is not listed on the "formats" page (they seem to have forgotten to update it), but it is listed on the "features" page, where it says:
"Export to Apple Final Cut Pro, Apple DVD Studio Pro, Avid, standard exchange formats: STL EBU binary latin, STL EBU Arte N19, PAC, QuickTime Text (full unicode support), Windows and Linux subtitle format: SubRip, batch lists (Final Cut Pro, Avid ALE), RTF with timecode and many more."

Translate Pro would do the job. You can free trial for 7-10 days and export 20-25 subtitles.
