You need to make sure that the subtitle file is in the same folder as the video file and that it has the same name also. Now make sure to check the Enable Subtitles box at the bottom right. If you want everything to be the same as the original file, choose Direct Copy from the Video Codec dropdown box. By default, it will create an AVI file using the Xvid video codec and MP3 audio codec. Note that TEncoder is also a video/audio converter, so you can also change the format of the video file if you like. Go ahead and click on the Add (+) button and choose your video file. First, we have to add the video file that we want to add the subtitles to. Now close out Subtitle Workshop and open up TEncoder. That’s about it for HandBrake! It’s a very simple process and works well. You can add more than one subtitle file if you need, i.e. Pick the SRT file and it will show up in the list box below. Now click on the Subtitles tab at the bottom and click on the Import SRT button. Make sure Normal is chosen in the Presets menu on the far right. Go ahead and choose a destination for your output file and leave everything else as is. Once you open HandBrake, click the Source button and choose your video file. In the Save as type box, scroll down to SubRip (.srt) and save the file in the same folder as the video file and give it the exact same name as the video also. Once you have put all of your subtitles in, go ahead and click on File and then Save. The actual encoding program that will insert the subtitles into the video will control the other settings for the look and feel Basically, you can use bold, italic, underline and change the color. In terms of modifying the look of the subtitle, there are not a whole lot of options. You can also click on the Edit menu and choose Insert Subtitle.
To add another subtitle, you need to click the Add Subtitle button, which I have pointed out above with the red line.
Then simply adjust the Duration value to however long you want the subtitles to remain on the screen! It is defaulted to one, so just change it whatever you desire. So I can either type in 00:00:05:000 into the Show box or I can get down to a very specific frame by typing moving the slide bar to the exact location (or pausing at the exact time) and then copying the value shown at the top right into my box. For example, I want my first subtitle to come up 5 seconds into the video and last 5 seconds. Just take the value from the top one and add that into the Show box. You’ll see those numbers just like they are in the Show/Hide boxes. In order to get the current frame that you are in while playing the video, look at the right side of the screen below the video. You have to type in the exact times that you want the subtitles to appear since it does not just pick the value from the location that you are in the video. Now when you add subtitles, you’ll see that there is a Show and Hide section visible in the above screenshot. You should see it appear on the video as you type. To add your subtitle, begin typing your text into the text box at the bottom. Go ahead and move the slide bar to the location where you want your first subtitle to appear and then click on the first row in the main list box that says No. Choose your video and click Ok and you video will appear in the top section and start playing. Then go to the Video menu option and choose Open. Subtitle Workshop will allow us to add as many subtitles as we want into our video and save that file out as a separate file (our video will remain unaltered at this point).Īfter you open Subtitle Workshop, click on File and choose New Subtitle. This is the first application we will start with. Just double click on the SubtiteWorkshop4 icon. Subtitle Workshop only needs to be unzipped to run, there is no install.
