Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I burn the subtitles on my video?
There are many reasons why you should hardcode your subtitles on your video. Most platforms do not allow you to edit the style of your captions, burning them can be better in some cases. Also, some platforms like Instagram do not accept subtitle files, so merging the video with the subtitles is the only way for you to have captions on your video.

How will you merge the subtitles and video files?
The subtitles will be added at the bottom of your video. The font color of your subtitles will be white with a black outline to ensure readability.

Is there a watermark?
Yes. Videos made with the free tool include a small HappyScribe watermark. To burn in subtitles without a watermark, use the HappyScribe subtitle editor on a paid plan.

Can I change the subtitle font or color?
Not in the free tool: subtitles are added at the bottom of the video in white text with a black outline. In the HappyScribe subtitle editor, you can style your subtitles before burning them in.
