In this tutorial, I'm going to
show you how you can permanently add, burn or hard-code subtitles
into your videos or movies. Hi, my name is David from
freelancerinsights.com where we believe you should
never stop learning. If you're interested in adding
subtitles to your videos where you permanently have them on at any
time or whether it's a client job that you want to do and you want
to do it for free there is a very easy application that you can use
and this application is called Handbrake. Handbrake is an application that
is open source, and it's an open source video transcoder. It can convert videos
from any format. And I love to use handbrake to
compress videos that are large files into small file sizes
without losing quality. So basically, you can
use handbrake for that. And the good thing is that it is
available in multiple platforms- that is Mac, Windows, Linux
and it is free and open source. Now basically, for you to be able
to achieve a video that is burned- with burnt in subtitles or
hard-coded or permanently added.. And for the purposes of this
video, I'll use those terms but the professional term is
something we call open captioning. And if you're interested in
learning how to caption videos you can check out my course
from the link below. Now, we need three things. We need Handbrake- which is the
application that will help us burn in our subtitles to the video
and then we need our video and subtitle file. Now, i have my video here. It is an mp4 file on how to fix
wrong subtitle numbering and timing using subtitle
edit and the caption file. I'll just double click it. It opens in notepad and it shows
you the time codes the caption files and all that. And basically those are the two
things that we need and the final ingredient now is our application
that is already installed. So basically for this to work,
You need to install Handbrake. And I'm using the latest
version which is version 1.22. So it's opened and basically all I
need to do for this is I just need to drag my file on here. I'll just drop it there and it's
going to scan and just post. You can check out the previews of
the video that is the screens of the video. But basically this is what we get. So I'll just maximize this. Now, it shows you the source, the
time, the angles, chapters, and duration. Then it also gives you the
presets that has been set. Now, my video is- is in something
called 720p, so it's not a 1080p video. So I'll need to re-adjust this
preset just come and select the preset. We just want General and
let's see very fast 720p 30. So import- click on it. That's okay and check
out the summary. You see your video still there
if subtitles are still there. And then remember to
select the burn in. Now, let's come here to browse. And see how we're
going to save our file. We can save it with the same name. Just click on it, but then. We can add maybe
"Burned subtitles". And click on Save dot
MP4 and click on Save. Now when you're ready,
just click Start encoding. Depending on the strength of your
laptop, you processor, your RAM and all that and any other
processes that are running inside your computer it may take
a long or short time. So I may skip a few sections here
just in case I notice that it's going to take a lot of time. Just click Start encoding. Once you hit that it's preparing
to encode it gives you a general and rough estimate of how
long it's going to take. Basically, it's at 5. So it's going to take about two
minutes- two minutes, maybe 154 and I it really depends on the
number of encodings that you've set and these are set
somewhere under the video. So basically I just set
it to just do a one pass. Sometimes when I know I noticed
that when you do a to pass it takes longer but
has better quality. But these there's really no big
difference when you do this, but it's just for general knowledge. So I'll repeat this if you're
interested in learning how to caption videos you can check out
my course from the link below. Now handbrake is a tool that
has been there for a long time. I've used it to burn in captions,
but the only issue I have is that if you're looking to get a black
background and white subtitle files or white text on screen you
won't get that with handbrake. And I was hoping that that is
something they would have added in in this particular versions so
that when you add your captions or subtitles, then you have a very
good black background and the subtitle file showing which is
normally standard when your doing open captioning, hard-coding,
burning in or permanently adding subtitles to a video. It all depends on what type of
name you want to call it now. Basically that's something I've
always hoped for and I hope that someday they do that. So we almost done it's saying 13
seconds remaining- five, four, three, two, one, and we're done. So basically it's queue finished. I'll just go back into my folder
and just double click on this video. When I double click on it,
it's going to open inside VLC. "Today, I'm going
to show you how..." Now what I want you to see is that
this subtitle file is permanently burnt into the video- how you can
fix wrong subtitle numbering and timing using Subtitle Edit. Hi, my name is David .
Now basically if I go into the
subtitle track, there's nothing to to deactivate or anything. Now if I play this other video
since both files- the video and the subtitle file are titled the
same and the in the same folder- if I play this video... "Today." If you notice you can see the
subtitle file inside VLC, but this video does not have
burnt in captions. It's just that they're in
the same folder and they are titled the same way. So if I continue playing- "I'm
going to show you how you can fix wrong subtitle." Now if I come and right click
inside the video player and click on subtitles. You can see the subtitle track is
active and if I disable this the subtitles disappear. So basically, what we are trying
to achieve in this video and I hope what I'm hoping that you're
going to learn and achieve on your own is that you can be able to
permanently add, burn or hard-code subtitles using handbrake into
your videos or movies or whatever that you want to add to. You can make money doing this for
clients, other people and all that and mostly where this applicable
is, especially with social media videos. specially for Facebook most videos
are played without the sound being on and we all know that with
captioning especially closed captioning- you have to turn it
on or off that we have shown you. So basically, if you want your
viewers to enjoy your content, you should try and ensure that you
hard-code, burn or add subtitles permanently. So basically, if I play this video
again- "today," you'll see that the file to show you is open
captioned - subtitles and timing and you can also turn it off. The only downside I have with this
is that normally with with this kind of captioning or burning in
you always expect to have a black background with all this. In the next tutorial, I'm going to
show you how you can permanently add subtitles to your
videos using SubtitleNext. This is a professional captioning
and subtitling software that you can apply all the different
styling, backgrounds to you videos. Thank you for watching this video
and I hope to see you in the next one.
