Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between burned-in and soft subtitles?
Burned-in subtitles are part of the picture: they always show and cannot be turned off. Soft subtitles are a separate track or file that players can switch on and off.
Is the styling from my ASS file kept?
No. Only the text and timing are read; ASS override tags are dropped and the style from the panel is used. Simple <b>, <i>, <u> and color tags can be applied with the tag option.
Chinese or Japanese subtitles show garbled characters.
The file is probably not UTF-8. Pick its encoding, such as GBK / GB18030, Big5, Shift_JIS or EUC-KR, in the Encoding list.
The subtitles are early or late.
Enter a Timing offset in milliseconds. Positive values show subtitles later, negative values earlier.
Does burning lower the video quality?
Every frame is re-encoded with the subtitles drawn in; the audio is copied as is.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The video and subtitles are processed in your browser.
