Setting Subtitle Font, Size, and Position
With soft subtitles, you cannot adjust the font and size. You can only set the font, adjust the size, subtitle position, and subtitle color when you choose to embed hard subtitles.
First, upgrade to 1.76+.
Setting the Font
- In the software interface, select hard subtitle embedding.
- Determine the display name of the font. Note that this is not the font file name, but the name of the font itself, such as "SimHei" or "FZShuTi." If you do not know the name, you can double-click to open the font file and view the font name displayed inside. Alternatively, create a Word document and find the font name in the font selection.
Then open Menu--Tools/Options-Advanced Options, find Hard Subtitle Font Name
, and change SimHei
to the desired font name.
You must ensure that the font's display name is filled in correctly. Otherwise, the subtitles may not display, may display garbled characters, or may display with the default font style.
Setting Text Size
- Open Menu--Tools/Options-Advanced Options, find
Hard Subtitle Font Pixel
, and change16
to the font size you want to set. The default is 16 pixels.
Setting Subtitle Position
Subtitles are displayed at the bottom of the video by default. If you want to display them higher, open Menu--Tools/Options-Advanced Options, find Hard Subtitle Move Up Distance
, and change 0 to the distance you need to move the subtitles up.
For example, if your video height is 500px and you want the subtitles to display 400px from the bottom, set 400
.
If you want to display them at the very top, set 480
. Why 480 instead of 500?
Because the distance is calculated from the bottom of the subtitle. If it is 500, the actual subtitle will be displayed outside the video. The maximum height can only be (video height - 20), which means you need to leave space for the text's display height.
Setting Subtitle Color (Default: White)
Open Menu--Tools/Advanced Settings-Advanced Settings, find Hard Subtitle Text Color
, and change it to the desired color.
Note that the 6 characters after &H represent the BGR color (2 digits for blue/2 digits for green/2 digits for red), which is the reverse of the common RGB color order.
For example: White = &HFFFFFF, Black = &H000000, Blue = &HFF0000, Green = &H00FF00, Red = &H0000FF
Setting Subtitle Text Border Color (Default: Black, Same Rule as Above)
