Set Subtitle Font, Size, and Position

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

First, upgrade to version 1.76+.

Set Font

  1. In the software interface, select "Hard Subtitles Embedding."
  2. Determine the display name of the font. Note that this is not the font file name but the font's actual name, such as "SimHei" or "Fangzheng Shuti." If you are unsure of the name, double-click the font file to view the displayed font name, or create a Word document and find the font name in the font list.

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

Ensure the font display name is correctly entered; otherwise, subtitles may not display, show garbled text, or appear in the default font style.

Set Font Size

  1. Open Menu > Tools/Options > Advanced Options, locate Hard Subtitle Font Pixels, and change 16 to the desired font size. The default display size is 16 pixels.

Set 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, locate Hard Subtitle Upward 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 appear 400px from the bottom, set it to 400.

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

Because the distance is calculated from the bottom of the subtitle. If set to 500, the subtitle would appear outside the video. The maximum height can only be (video height - 20), meaning space must be reserved for the text display height.

Set Subtitle Color (Default: White)

Open Menu > Tools/Advanced Settings > Advanced Settings, locate Hard Subtitle Text Color, and change it to the desired color.

Note the 6 characters after &H. Each pair of letters represents BGR color: 2 for blue, 2 for green, 2 for red, which is the reverse of the common RGB order.

For example:
White = &HFFFFFF
Black = &H000000
Blue = &HFF0000
Green = &H00FF00
Red = &H0000FF

Set Subtitle Text Border Color (Default: Black, rules same as above)
