In our previous video we discussed how to create a subtitle file and as per our promise, we are back with this one. In this video you are going to see, how to permanently add subtitles to a video using your android device. So let's begin, let's dig in. But before we start, make sure that you have the video file and the srt file or subtitle file in the same memory. As I have the files in my sdcard. And here let me show you that there is no subtitles in the video. If I click on the message like ic
on then no Subtitles track is showing up here. It means it has no subtitles. So, to permanently add subtitles you need an application FFmpeg CLI. So just search for it on Google as ffmpeg space cli space apk and hit enter. Now go to this website. Click Download APK Click OK and download the application. As I have already downloaded it, so I will simply install the application. So let's install this application Now open the application and allow the permission. Here type -i space click on the pl
us icon and give the path of the video by clicking on File Path and now choose the video. Again type -i space give the path of the srt file in the same way. Thereafter type -c copy which means it will copy the video and the audio codecs of the video. Thereafter give another space and type -c colon s space srt. "-c colon s" means subtitle codec which is srt in this case. Now give a space and write -metadata colon s colon s colon zero. Here "first s" means stream, "second s" means subtitle and "z
ero" is the number of stream. Give another space and write language equals to eng. Now the command from metadata to eng will tell the viewer that the subtitle is in English language. However give a space for the last time, click on the plus icon. Now click on Directory Path and choose the path for your output. Click yes and give a name of the output file with an extension. Here note one thing, if you want your output in mp4 format then change srt to mov underscore text. And here change the exten
sion from mkv to mp4. As I want my output in mkv format so I will change it to srt and here also change this one to mkv. Now let's run the program. It's done! Let's check our output. Now here, you can see it's showing Subtitles track. So I'll choose Track 1 [English] and see it's working! In this way you can permanently add subtitles to any video. But if you don't want to select Subtitles track every time after playing the video then follow these additional steps. At first open the application,
click on settings, go to history, click on this command. Now what you'll have to do, after eng give a space type -disposition colon s colon s colon zero. Give a space and type default. Now I'll have to change the output name. I will change it to output1. And run the program. So, it's finished. Now let's check again. Go to the directory, check output1. So... yes it's working perfectly! So that's it. Thanks for watching this video. If you like this video, please do like, comment, share and don't

@gaganraj4667

What to if the subtitles are not properly aligned with video with respect to timings??? And when I'm done and try to watch the said movie it say "This audio format (EAC3) is not supported".

@SarathKumar-se7yd

When i try to insert .ass file it says you can't use it Then same this command in termux( -i /storage/emulated/0/infinite.mkv -i /storage/emulated/0/infinite.ass -c copy -c:s ass -metadata:s:s:0 language=eng -disposition:s:s:0 default /storage/emulated/0/Download/infinite123.mkv) i replaced srt to ass. I am trying to inserting malayalam subtitle. Is the command is correct or want to change it.

@anmagu

Hi. I tried this and it worked! Thank you, your instruction is very easy to follow. Can I also ask how can I trim videos with subtitles and with bigger text? I would really appreciate if you have tutorial about that as I've been struggling matching subtitles to the videos I trimmed. And thank you very much for this tutorial!

@virtuousvj8584

Thank u. It's been working great but I have a problem. My video has a dual audio, so after adding subtitles and completing the process, the video has only mono audio which is not English. How can I get dual audio or at least English Audio?
