I know I'm a bit late about this, but I just wanted to cut an SRT subtitle file and found this cutter just to see that it doesn't cut correctly. And then I thought about it and found out: SRT file use a timecode, while CLT files use frames. How can the cutter translated the frame number into a timecode without knowing the FPS? However, if it would assume an FPS of 25 and with a start frame of 15000, it should find the first time code in the SRT after 10 minutes, but in my case the subtitle was cut at around 2 minutes.
Other subtitle formats may work, this won't.
