Tencoder Add Subtitles
Create Subtitles File (SRT)
To add your subtitle, begin typing your text into the text box at the bottom. You should see it appear on the video as you type. Now when you add subtitles, you’ll see that there is a Show and Hide section visible in the above screenshot. 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.
Tencoder How To Add Subtitles
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’ll see those numbers just like they are in the Show/Hide boxes. Just take the value from the top one and add that into the Show box. For example, I want my first subtitle to come up 5 seconds into the video and last 5 seconds.
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. 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.
To add another subtitle, you need to click the Add Subtitle button, which I have pointed out above with the red line. You can also click on the Edit menu and choose Insert Subtitle. In terms of modifying the look of the subtitle, there are not a whole lot of options. Basically, you can use bold, italic, underline and change the color. The actual encoding program that will insert the subtitles into the video will control the other settings for the look and feel
Once you have put all of your subtitles in, go ahead and click on File and then Save. 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.
Use HandBrake to Encode Subtitles
Use TEncoder to Encode Subtitles
Now close out Subtitle Workshop and open up TEncoder. First, we have to add the video file that we want to add the subtitles to. Go ahead and click on the Add (+) button and choose your video file.
Note that TEncoder is also a video/audio converter, so you can also change the format of the video file if you like. By default, it will create an AVI file using the Xvid video codec and MP3 audio codec. If you want everything to be the same as the original file, choose Direct Copy from the Video Codec dropdown box.
Now make sure to check the Enable Subtitles box at the bottom right. 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.
If you want a higher quality file, go ahead and check the Do two pass encoding box. You can also click on Subtitle Options to configure a few more options for configuring the look and feel of the subtitles.
