You just exported your subtitles and looking for a way to add open captions into your video? It’s actually super easy to do!
Today we’re going to show you how to add open captions with HandBrake, a simple and free online tool.
TIP – If you’re still looking for a way to create and download subtitles for your video file, you can use our online automatic subtitling tool. You can export your subtitles in SRT, JSON, VTT, and other formats.
HandBrake is a fantastic tool partly because it can be applied to any video, regardless of its format or editing software. It doesn’t matter if you use Filmora, Adobe Premiere or iMovie. Find the full video you want to add subtitles to and then export it.
Make sure the video is of good quality. While exporting can take a while, it’s a good idea to use to convert your audio to text , and then to subtitles.
Order your 100% accurate human-made subtitle file from Amberscript and download it in SRT format (the recommended format for Handbrake).
Now that your video files and subtitles are ready, you’re ready to use Handbrake. If you don’t have it yet, download and install it on your computer.
With Handbrake , it’s easy to add subtitles, closed captions, or translated captions to your videos. In this guide we will show you how to do it on Mac.
Once you open the tool, you will be prompted to add your video file.
Once your video is uploaded, add your SRT file.
Start by clicking on the “Subtitles” tab. Then click the “Tracks” drop-down menu, choose “Add External Subtitle Track”, find your SRT file and click “Open”.
Once entered, start considering whether you want your subtitles to be available in multiple languages. HandBrake allows you to add as many subtitle tracks as you like.
You can skip this process if you want your video to have CC subtitles. The viewer has the option to turn on or off the CC captions, which are encoded into the video file. Subtitles will appear over the video when a track is enabled. If they are disabled, subtitles are not displayed.
NOTE : Subtitles embedded in video are encoded directly on the video screen and cannot be turned on or off.
Make sure the video and audio settings match those of the source file or finished product for export. These parameters can be saved for future projects.
Once completed, you can export your video with subtitles. To select the destination to export the video file to, click on the “Browse” option in the lower right corner of the screen. Enter the name of the export next to the “Save As” tab.
The export will begin when you click the green “Start” button at the top of the screen.
