Burn Subtitles Into Video

Burn-in creates a new video file with subtitles rendered into the video image.

Requirements

Burn-in requires:

• FFmpeg.
• Input video file.
• Subtitle file.
• Writable output directory.

Workflow

1. Select the burn-in tool.
2. Choose a video file.
3. Choose an SRT subtitle file.
4. Choose output settings.
5. Start the burn-in job.
6. Open the output video when complete.

Before Burning In

Burn-in is usually the final step. Before burning:

• Open the subtitle file and check timing.
• Check spelling and names.
• Confirm line breaks are acceptable.
• Confirm translation or bilingual layout is correct.
• Use a short test clip if you are unsure about style or output size.

Notes

• Burn-in creates a new video file.
• The original video is not modified.
• Output files can be large.
• FFmpeg errors usually indicate missing FFmpeg/FFprobe, unsupported input media, bad subtitle path, or output permission problems.

Diagnostics and logs must redact private credentials and should not expose raw daemon tokens or Authorization headers.
