Setting Subtitle Font, Size, and Position

Soft subtitles do not allow adjustment of font and size. Only when embedding hard subtitles can you set the font, adjust the size, subtitle position, and subtitle color.

First upgrade to 1.76+

Setting Font

  1. Select "Embed Hard Subtitles" in the software interface.
  2. Confirm 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" (SimHei is a common Chinese font), "Fangzheng Shuti" etc. If you don't know the name, you can double-click to open the font file and view the font name displayed inside. Or create a Word document and find the font name in the font options.

Then open Menu--Tools/Options-Advanced Options, find Hard Subtitle Font Name, and change SimHei to the font name.

Ensure that you correctly fill in the display name of the font, otherwise the subtitles may not be displayed, or may be displayed as garbled characters, or displayed in the default font style.

Setting Font Size

  1. Open Menu--Tools/Options-Advanced Options, find Hard Subtitle Font Pixel, and change 16 to the desired font size. The default size is 16 pixels.

Setting Subtitle Position

Subtitles are displayed at the bottom of the video by default. If you want to move the position upward, open Menu--Tools/Options-Advanced Options, find Hard Subtitle Vertical Offset, and change 0 to the distance you want to move the subtitle upward.

For example, if your video height is 500px, and you want the subtitle to be displayed 400px from the bottom, then set it to 400.

If you want to display it at the top, set it to 480. Why 480 instead of 500?

Because the distance is calculated from the bottom of the subtitle. If it is 500, the subtitle will actually be displayed outside the video. The maximum height can only be (video height - 20), which means that the display height of the text needs to be reserved.

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 the 6 characters after &H. Every 2 characters represent the BGR color, namely 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
