Giankoz Loading subtitles as SRT file, the font size is set as default to 14%. I'd like make it load (in YT) other languages with the respective SRT. How is it possible to avoid oversizing? (7% would be ok. for me)
borate While new subs do default to 14, if the project is saved (with 7, for example), it will open with the same subs size the next time. Menu (top-left) | FILE | SAVE PROJECT FILE AS. Then upload that project to YT or the like.
Giankoz I found the solution! It is possible to associate subtitles (in various languages) to youtube video using VTT format (containing font size). VideoPad does not support this format, but you can prepare subtitles within it, export it as SRT file and re-edit, adding the desired font description.
borate Can't speak for YT. But a test of a project saved with subs at 7 and uploaded directly from Videopad succeeded with always displayed open captions. There's also this route, among others that a Net search for "add subtitles to YouTube" will reveal.
borate VP does support VTT format. Just tested in the current release and confirmed. As for YT... You can either create an SRT file (or, possibly, other formats) which you upload along with your video to YouTube or you burn in the subtitles to your video. If you create the file your viewers can actively decide if they want to toggle the subtitles on or off. In fact these subtitles are called closed captions (CC) because they are not fixed attached to the video and you give the options to toggle them on/off. https://www.typestudio.co/blog/how-to-upload-srt-files-to-youtube There are also utilities on-line that can convert between types.
