Hardsubbing Subtitles

(also known as “burning-in” subtitles)

lyger’s Clipper Method

Installation and usage can be found here.

• When hardsubbing, make sure your raw video is MKV. If not and what you used is an MP4, your timing will be pushed back by 1 frame.
  • Hardsubbing from MKV to MP4 will still push back by 1 frame.
• You use Clipper to clip a part of the video.
  • Useful for testing tag animation in hardsubbed form.
  • Just set the timing to cover the part you wanted then run the script!

Ragtag Method

Simply use ffmpeg in the CMD prompt to hardsub. Used by Aonahara peeps.

ffmpeg -i “[input video].mp4” -c:a copy -vf subtitles=“[subtitle file].ass” -crf 17 “[output video].mp4”

• Madekuji’s GUI to write the cmd line for you: https://mdkj.dev/hardsubcode/
• This only hardsubs the entire video.
• A quick and simple way of hardsubbing video when you just want to get it done.
