Setting the Font, Size, and Position of Subtitles

You cannot adjust the font and size with soft subtitles. You can only set the font, adjust the size, subtitle position, and subtitle color when you choose to embed hard subtitles.

First, upgrade to version 1.76+.

Setting the Font

  1. Select hard subtitle embedding in the software interface.
  2. 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. Or, create a Word document and find the font name in the fonts.

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

You must ensure that you correctly fill in the display name of the font, otherwise the subtitles may not be displayed, or may be garbled, or may be displayed in the default font style.

Setting the Text Size

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

Setting the Subtitle Position

The 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 to move the subtitles up.

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

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

Because the distance is calculated from the bottom of the subtitle. If it is 500, the actual subtitle will be displayed outside the video. The maximum height can only be (video height - 20), which means you need to leave room for the text display height.

Setting the Subtitle Color, Default White

Open Menu -- Tools/Advanced Settings - Advanced Settings, find Hard Subtitle Text Color, and modify it to the desired color.

Note that the 6 characters after &H represent the 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.

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

Setting the Subtitle Text Border Color, Default Black, Same Rules as Above
