I'm going to go back into iSubtitle here and I'm going to hit the plus button. So I've got subtitle.srt ready to go now. We are going to pay careful attention to the text encoding here because we are going to need to know that when we actually use this in iSubtitle. So a SRT file is basically a text file that has this data in it but we want to make sure we're putting the right file extension. You want to save it in what is called an SRT file. Then when you've got that all done you want to save it. Whatever playback device you've got, whether it is QuickTime player, or Apple TV, or whatever it is will figure out how to appropriately display this stuff. You can even have more than one line of text. Then you have the actual text you want to appear. You can see here it is pretty simple basic text stuff but you have got to get it just right or it won't work. You need the comma and then you need the spacing and the appropriate characters in-between. You need them to be two digits and this to be three digits. They all start with a number of the subtitle and then from and two times here, in hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. I'm going to put in here the subtitles I actually have copied into the buffer. So to create a subtitle file we are going to go to TextEdit and we're going to create a new document and make sure it is set to Plain Text Format, which we know that it is because we have the ability to make it Rich Text. We're going to not use any of the built in functions that search the internet for subtitles but actually create our own subtitle file. We're looking at home movies or maybe professional videos you are making for work and how to add subtitles. Now one of the things this software does is if you've say ripped a video from DVD and you want to apply special subtitles to it in the language of your choice it will search the web for them. You can see here I've got the video up in here and I've got the sidebar on the right that has various information about the video including Subtitles for which there are None. We're going to drag and drop this video to it. There are various different ones but this one does the trick. We're going to use an app called iSubtitle. If is just a permanent part of the video. Then they are permanently on there so you can't have say English, French, and Spanish or the ability to turn it off. Painstakingly making each one which can get pretty tedious if you are making a long video. All you can do there is to put lower third titles and put them across the whole video. So you would think you would be able to do this with iMovie, Final Cut Pro, maybe even the QuickTime player but in fact you can't. Let's see how we can add that to our videos. You also you will be able to see this track on iOS devices, Apple TV, and various other places. If you go to View/Subtitles you actually see a subtitle track here like English. I'm talking about how to add an actual subtitle track. You can do that adding a lower third title in either Final Cut Pro or iMovie. The goal here is not actually to imprint text at the bottom of a video. Let's look at how to add subtitle tracks to your videos. Video Transcript: Hi, this is Gary with.
