I have many videos or movies like A Room with a View and 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony at hand. Sometimes, many of them are no subtitles and mostly in foreign languages. It makes me feel troubled.
I like the Olympics Opening Ceremony video very much. However, it doesn’t come with subtitle. Well, I am interested in Chinese culture behind many performances and want to know more about it from the words explained by the broadcasters. After finding out the video subtitle file in these website: http://www.subbiee.com/ , I tried some programs but failed to add the SRT file to the video. All those programs I found online seemed complicated and expensive until I encountered ImTOO MPEG Encoder Ultimate. It would be a desirable selection if you want to add additional subtitle files to your exist video.
It is easy to handle. Load the video in the software and click “Effects” button. There is a “Subtitle” tab to open the dialogue and add the subtitle file. When the character shows, you can change the subtitle vertical position by mouse. If the video you load has existed one language subtitle, the function is very useful to let you watch the video with bilingual subtitle without overlapped.
The software also supports to change the font style and color. The default color for subtitles in MPEG Encoder Ultimate is white, which is almost impossible to read in the light colored sections of your movie. Click on “T” setting to change the font size and color to make selections to fit your needs.
