      How to Add Open Captions with HandBrake \u2013 Where to start?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      1. Prepare your video file and export it<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      HandBrake is a fantastic tool partly because it can be applied to any video, regardless of its format or editing software. It doesn’t matter if you use Filmora, Adobe Premiere or iMovie<\/a>. Find the full video you want to add subtitles to and then export it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Make sure the video is of good quality. While exporting can take a while, it’s a good idea to use to convert your audio to text<\/a> , and then to subtitles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      2. Choose a subtitle file format<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Order your 100% accurate human-made subtitle<\/a> file from Amberscript and download it in SRT format (the recommended format for Handbrake).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Download the Handbrake application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Now that your video files and subtitles are ready, you’re ready to use Handbrake. If you don’t have it yet, download and install it on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With Handbrake<\/a> , it’s easy to add subtitles, closed captions, or translated captions to your videos. In this guide we will show you how to do it on Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n

      4. Upload your video and SRT file to Handbrake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Once you open the tool, you will be prompted to add your video file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Once your video is uploaded, add your SRT file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Start by clicking on the \u201cSubtitles\u201d tab. Then click the \u201cTracks\u201d drop-down menu, choose \u201cAdd External Subtitle Track\u201d, find your SRT file and click \u201cOpen\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Once entered, start considering whether you want your subtitles to be available in multiple languages. HandBrake allows you to add as many subtitle tracks as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n

      5. Choose \u201cBurned-In\u201d for subtitles and skip this step if you want CC subtitles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      You can skip this process if you want your video to have CC subtitles. The viewer has the option to turn on or off the CC captions, which are encoded into the video file. Subtitles will appear over the video when a track is enabled. If they are disabled, subtitles are not displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      NOTE<\/strong> : Subtitles embedded in video are encoded directly on the video screen and cannot be turned on or off.<\/em><\/mark><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
