[quote]So is there no way of importing those "amateur" sub formats into "professional" video editing software?![/quote]
There is. With professional editing software like Final Cut. But that would be DIY subtitling, since FC is not specifically designed for this. SRT is definitely an amateur/fansubber format, as you say. Some other classic formats like .stl are very close to .txt actually, but with a timecode system.
