I guess a quite lot of people like animation films. While sometimes the foreign movies we purchased are out of subtitles. Today the tutorial talks about how to add subtitles to a movie permanently. And I have chosen the simplest one for your reference.
Part1:What are the formats for subtitles?
Subtitles are text derived from either a transcript or screenplay of the dialog or commentary in films, television programs, and video games and also refer to the post-progressed text. There are two types of subtitle: Graphic format like .idx/.sub; Text format like .srt, .ass, .ssa, and .txt.
What’s the difference among these formats?
.idx/.sub: IDX is equivalent to the index file, which includes the time code and subtitle display attributes of the subtitles. SUB is to store subtitle in picture format. .idx/.sub could store subtitles in many languages.
SRT is the base of subtitle and contains only the text and time duration.
SSA/ASS: SSA includes the watermark and the size and position of the subtitle on the basis of SRT. ASS is an upgraded version of SSA.
