idk, try using ffmpeg

Youtube's annotation and subtitle format is a bit odd. I'd just upload unsubbed and hardsubbed versions if I were you.
Dylan Green
I want it hardsubbed, but the .mp4 file and the .ass file (subtitle script) wont merge together permanently.
I made costum subtitles so, depending on the program I used to merge them they (the subs) either dont appear in the .mp4, or they appear with square boxes and shiet (they only appear on VLC, and when I try to convert it using vlc, subs dont appear. I have it on .mkv too)
Juan Richardson
I've already used Handbreak, XviD4PSP, SnowFox and iMkvExtract to try and merge them into one .mp4. No luck.
I made the subs using Aegisub btw
Hunter Baker
Chase Nguyen
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "ass=subtitle.ass" out.mp4
should hardsub it.
You might be having issues with fonts. It sounds like you're on OSX and I don't know much about fonts on OSX
Zachary Diaz
Fuck, I am on OSX, who can I send the files (.mp4 & .ass) to hardsub it? ;-;
Andrew Taylor
>Boot into live CD
>install ffmpeg after booting
You an also install ffmpeg on OSX.
Justin Ortiz
Also Youtube should support adding captions. You don't need to hardsub it.
Logan Ward
Hah yeah, but I made them costums, the're yellow and shit like the old jackass videos
Liam Myers
What? I see white on mpv.
Jackson Scott
You have a few options, OP.
You can BURN IN (hardsub) the subtitles like mentioned, with ffmpeg.
A more comprehensive manual on this is at trac.ffmpeg.org
Static build for OSX:
evermeet.cx
ffmpeg.org
Your other option is to just upload the srt to YouTube as native softsub captions, however, you'll lose formatting that way
Parker Howard
Like this
Angel Sullivan
Use the SRT formatted ones; ass uses theming by default whereas SRT is like the .txt of subtitles
What does ffmpeg -i orig.mp4 -vf ass=subs.srt out.mp4 do?
Brayden Russell
Thanks bro, Ill try but Im new to this, really dont know shit hah
Dylan Jackson
Really appreciate your post, and it will probably help me alot but I dont know what the fuck you just said
Xavier Garcia
ASS subtitles are the reason your subs are ugley
use SRT
Download a copy of ffmpeg from evermeet.cx
Then run the command like says, only replace "orig.mp4" with your original video, and "subs.srt" with the filename of an SRT copy of your subtitles
Brayden Nguyen
He is using ass because he wants to keep the formatting not lose it via srt. He might as well just use Youtube's captions if you are telling him to burn a srt.
Jeremiah Fisher
OP,
why can't you just upload the SRT to YouTube?
When uploading choose "Subtitles" rather than "Transcript"
Also, show us what kind of formatting you're dealing with: positioning, color..karaoke?
Although, if you really want to hardsub, all the instructions are at
trac.ffmpeg.org
ffmpeg -i "Original_Video.mp4" -vf "subtitles=Subtitles.srt" copy_for_YouTube.mp4
>-vf subtitles=
rather than
>-vf ass=
Ian Watson
>ffmpeg -i "Original_Video.mp4" -vf "subtitles=Subtitles.srt" copy_for_YouTube.mp4
ugh
typoed
FINAL ANSWER IS
ffmpeg -i "Original_Video.mp4" -vf "subtitles=Subtitles.ass" "Upload_Me_To_YouTube.mp4"

What does the DMG file at evermeet.cx
I've never used a Mac except like once
The ffmpeg command at will be run in your Terminal (under System Utilities?)
