Part 2: Working with subtitles


1.
2.

Open the Subtitles window


Click the Subtitles button on the Home tab toolbar.
Import subtitles or create new ones
You can either load an existing subtitles file to VideoPad or create your own subtitles from scratch.
To import an existing file from your hard drive, click the Load SSA button in the toolbar of the Subtitles dialog.

To start creating your own subtitles, place the cursor on the timeline at the right moment in your movie where you want to start
displaying subtitles. Then click the Add Subtitle button in the toolbar to create your first subtitles entry.

3.

Edit text and timing


Use the text field at the very bottom of the window to edit your subtitles or input new text. PAY attention to the timing. Every
subtitle has "Show" and "Hide" time code. Carefully input the exact time when you want your subtitle to be displayed by clicking
on the Show or Hide time link, or drag the red and blue flags and set the show and hide times like you would edit In and Out
points on the Clip Preview pane in the main interface.

4.

Customize subtitles
VideoPad offers excellent tools for customization and control over your subtitles. You can change the font, color, size and style of
text. You can preview the changes you make in real time, start and pause playback, and jump to certain moments of your video.

5.

MANAGE the list of subtitles


Subtitles in the list are sorted in order of appearence. You can change that order by clicking the Move Up and Move Down buttons
in the toolbar to move the selected subtitle up or down in the list. Note that each subtitle in the list will retain its set duration
when moved. Click the Add Subtitle button to insert a new subtitle, or the red Delete button to delete selected subtitle(s).
Note the Show Subtitles button in the toolbar of the Subtitles dialog. When it is disabled, your subtitles will be hidden from your
clip and will not appear in the final movie, but they will still be a part of your VideoPad project and you can always choose to bring
your subtitles back.

Part 3: Saving and exporting subtitles


When you finish working with your subtitles, you may simply close the Subtitles dialog. All the changes you've done to your subtitles will be
automatically be saved within your current VideoPad project. If the subtitles are not hidden, they will be displayed on top of your final
video when you export it from VideoPad.
If you wish to save your subtitles as a separate file instead of permanently merging them with your video, click the Save SSA button in the
toolbar of the Subtitles dialog. VideoPad will save them as an SSA file on your hard drive.
Note: It is a good idea to give your subtitles file the same name as your video file. Many video players will understand that these files
belong together and will automatically load the subtitles next time you play your video.
