How do I permanently burn SRT subtitles into a video?▼

To permanently burn SRT subtitles into a video, you embed the subtitle file directly into the video stream. This ensures captions are always visible for accessibility or distribution without requiring a separate track.

Can I customize font size, color, and position when hardcoding subtitles?▼

Do I need FFmpeg installed to embed SRT files into video content?▼

How does embedding subtitles handle right-to-left text like Arabic or Hebrew?▼

Embedding subtitles includes RTL auto-detection and correction logic for Hebrew, Arabic, and Farsi text. This ensures right-to-left languages are properly rendered and displayed correctly within the video stream.

What is the difference between hardcoding subtitles and adding a soft subtitle track?▼
