These filters allow you to render subtitles into a video.
The subtitle is permanently burned into the image so it remains visible on all devices and players without the need for a separate subtitle file.
It supports SubRip (SRT) and Sub Station Alpha (SSA and ASS) formats, which are common formats for text subtitles in videos.
This helps ensure that your subtitles display correctly in a wide range of video editors and players.

These settings allow you to customize the appearance of the subtitles, including background color, font size, font style, font color, character spacing, rotation angle, and alignment.
Choose from different fonts (e.g. bold, italic, regular) to give the subtitles a customized style.
You can add the Subtitle filter using the "Add filter" button.
Specifies the character set used for the subtitle text.
Specifies the primary color of the subtitle.
The primary color is the main color used to display subtitle text.
It determines the appearance of the text and significantly influences its readability and visual impact. When rendering subtitles, the primary color is applied directly to the text—usually white, yellow, or another high-contrast color to ensure good visibility against different backgrounds.

Specifies the secondary color of the font.
Specifies the outline color of the font.
The outline color refers to the color of the border (contour) that surrounds the subtitle text.
It improves the readability of subtitles, especially against high-contrast or busy backgrounds.
When rendering subtitles, the outline is displayed along with the text, making the subtitle more clearly distinguishable from the video content.
A well-chosen outline color (e.g., black or white) ensures better visibility on all screen types.
