Setting Subtitle Font, Size, and Position
Soft subtitles cannot be adjusted in font or size. Only when hard subtitles are embedded can you set the font, adjust the size, subtitle position, and subtitle color.
First, upgrade to 1.76+
Setting the Font
- Select hard subtitle embedding in the software interface.
- Determine 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" or "FZShuTi." If you don't know the name, you can double-click to open the font file and view the font name displayed inside. Alternatively, create a Word document and find the font name in the font selection.
Then open Menu -- Tools/Options - Advanced Options, find Hard Subtitle Font Name
, and change SimHei
to the desired font name.
You must ensure that the font's display name is correctly entered; otherwise, the subtitles may not be displayed, may be garbled, or may be displayed in the default font style.
Setting Text Size
- Open Menu -- Tools/Options - Advanced Options, find
Hard Subtitle Font Pixel
, and change16
to the desired font size. The default display size is 16 pixels.
Setting Subtitle Position
Subtitles are displayed at the bottom of the video by default. If you want the display position to be higher, open Menu -- Tools/Options - Advanced Options, find Hard Subtitle Move Up Distance
, and change 0 to the distance you want the subtitles to move up.
For example, if your video height is 500px and you want the subtitles to display 400px from the bottom, then set 400
.
If you want to display them at the very top, set 480
. Why 480 instead of 500?
Because the distance is calculated from the bottom of the subtitle. If it's 500, the actual subtitles will be displayed outside the video. The maximum height can only be (video height - 20), which means you need to leave room for the height of the text.
Setting Subtitle Color, Default White
Open Menu -- Tools/Advanced Settings - Advanced Settings, find Hard Subtitle Text Color
, and modify it to the desired color.
Note the 6 characters after &H. Each 2-letter pair represents BGR color, i.e., 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
Setting Subtitle Text Border Color, Default Black, Same Rule as Above
