Questions people ask
What is the difference between burned-in and soft subtitles?
Soft subtitles are a separate track the player can switch on or off; many players and all social networks ignore them. Burned-in subtitles are part of the picture and always visible.
Can it generate subtitles automatically?
Not yet. Bring an SRT or VTT file from your captioning tool of choice. Automatic transcription on your device is on the roadmap.
Which subtitle formats work?
SubRip (.srt) and WebVTT (.vtt). Basic formatting tags are stripped; timing and line breaks are kept.
Why do my subtitles look shifted in time?
The subtitle file’s timing is used as-is. If the file was made for a different cut of the video, adjust its timestamps in a subtitle editor first.
