How to use subtitle filter as in avisynth

Post by Lord Dredd »

Description of problem or question:
Hi , This is my first query reagrding this wonderful application.Actally i post certain videos on my blog
I encode and re encode them with some editing and all and ultimately use handbrake now a days to make them device friendly.
Previously i used to use MEGUI along with avisyth.
Through avisyth i used to add subtitle filterto add a samll sort of subtitle text , which used to look like a small watermark. This was the filter details
subtitle("Jack's Blog", size = 28, first_frame=1, last_frame= 1000, text_color=$99EEEEEE, halo_color=$55000000, align=7, font = "Verdana" )
But Handbrake doesn't use avisyth , so i was wondering how can i use this to burn in on the video for a few frames.
I tried using a srt file with just a single word , but that lacks formatting and looks pretty big just like a sub.


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.2.2



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
windows 10 latest updates

You'd need to use subtitle editing software to create a subtitle track, then either mux it into the source or make an SRT you can import in HB. HB can burn in if you configure it to do so, although control over formatting is limited unless you do it in the source (i.e. provide a bitmap sub).

Could you kindly elaborate
what i need is to have exact size and coor and gue of the text . HB after burning the sub shows it at right position but with properties of a subtitl;e , big enough and without any formatting.
I am not that great with other software so a small tutorial would be very helpful
Thanks
