After the file is added, you will see 3 options under the video - New, Import, and Auto-Subtitle Generator. Click on the New option to create a custom .srt file.

The interface will now show the selection of the video for the first 3 seconds. The desired subtitle content for this first 3 seconds can be added from the space provided on the right-hand side of the window.

Step 4 Edit the subtitle

• By default, the software chooses 3 seconds for the subtitle, but if you want for a longer or a shorter time, you can edit it by selecting the Start Time and the End Time.

• After the subtitle content is added, you can choose its Font, Size, Color, Bold, Italics, and Underline option from the right-side panel.

• The Outline width of the subtitle as well the color can be selected as needed.

• Next, choose the Opacity by dragging the bar as needed. The higher the Opacity, the more visible the subtitle becomes.

Similarly, multiple subtitles for the video as needed can be added. Editing for each subtitle can separately be done as stated in the above Step 4.
