Title: How to add own, subtitles (resp. pure text) into existing MP4 video?
Post by: pstein on December 09, 2018, 12:43:44 PM
Assume I have an existing well-encoded MP4 video WITHOUT subtitles.

Now I want to add the text "foobar testtext" with fontsize=18 and fontfamily Verdana into video beginning at 1min23sec and ending at 3min44sec centralized 30 pixels above lower border.

How can I most easily achieve this with Avidemux?

I possible/necessary the text could be put fix encoded into video and not only as traditional subtitle.

You need software like Aegisub to generate a traditional subtitle file (.ass, .ssa, .srt) for this purpose. Avidemux can only be used to hardcode these subtitles into video.

Yes, there should be an Avidemux filter to add text to Videos.
Doing it over external progs is not satisfying.
