I have some questions regarding Quick Time Player in macOS. 1. Which type of subtitle files are supported by Quick Time Player ? 2. How to set a downloaded subtitle for a particular video via Quick Time Player ? 3. In VLC, there is a **VLSub** plugin to download subtitles automatically from Internet using VLC. Is there any plugin or option to do the same in Quick Time Player ?

What tool can I use to edit the subtitles embedded in my MP4 video on osx 12.5 ? I tried Aegisub, it loads my video but not its subtitles. Then I tried Jubbler (7.0.3) which froze at video opening.

I have a number of old video files and will likely continue to receive new ones that contain QuickTime 7 Pro TextTracks as subtitles and would like to find a future-proof way of being able to access the TextTrack data. This was all part of an old research workflow that added multiple TextTracks to each QuickTime video. I'm currently still running Mojave, since it is the last OS supporting QuickTime 7, but I need urgently to update to the latest macOS for different reasons. It's not really feasible to go through each video prior to updating and extract the TextTrack with QuickTime 7 so I'd be able to convert to subrip or whatever other format. I will also likely be receiving in the future new files in this format from other researchers and collaborators who had been using this workflow. Is there any way to access the TextTracks after updating macOS to Catalina and later versions? Is there any program who would still be able to read these files (at least extract the TextTrack text plus timecode, even if it doesn't play the video)? (I'm not talking about textfiles in the QT format, which would be a no-brainer, but about .mov or .mp4 files that have a QT formatted TextTrack which currently can only be seen in QuickTime 7 Pro) Alternatively, has anyone tried installing QuickTime 7 in a [Wine](https://www.winehq.org/) emulator? Any ideas if this might work?

I'm a video producer and our company recently moved to Mac due to the efficiency of the M1 chip. I used to work with subtitles and translate them using a "Windows only" software named "Subtitle Edit". it has the option to create, edit and translate text, and supports many formats. I was pretty surprised to figure out Mac doesn't have anything that does the same thing... do you guys know any subtitle edit software that's actually good? Video is needed to be played during the editing... I'm willing to pay for an alternative so price is not an issue

Is there anyway I can run .vtt "WEBVTT" subtitles files and .srt files with QuickTime Player. I am running QuickTime version 10.5.

I create short English videos with subtitles for Instagram videos. My main requirement is that it creates subtitles while I speak that I can then edit. I’ve been using Clips until now but it is very buggy and has become unusable. I’ve not found any other iOS video editing apps which offer this functionality. Can you suggest one that does?

When I want to see a movie or video in mac os x (with VLC, DivX Player, Quick Time) and want to load subtitles, these video player applications can't load my subtitle correctly show in strange text. My subtitle language is Farsi (RTL language). I must change some Unicode settings, but I don't know where anyone has any idea?

Title says it all. I've used HandBrake, Subler, VideoMonkey, and RipIt. I'm familiar with mencoder. None of them seem to be able to rip the subtitles from a DVD and then get the soft subtitles to the iPad.

I'm looking for a video player for macOS with the function of jumping from one subtitle phrase to another with video following the text. For example, the video jumps to the beginning of a phrase when I press the button Left. It's good to learn languages with such function. So I could repeat each phrase as many times as I want. I've found such player for Windows. It's PotPlayer. Now I'm looking for one for macOS.

I'm using iMovie 10.1.13 on 2015 macbook running OX 10.14.6 I'm trying to put some subtitles below the movie to make for my poor English pronunciation or to allow viewers to view without sound. I'm using the title section, using the "third lower part", and I create a new section for every single line of subtitles. I change the font size, color (My background is completely white so I want to settle with all black fonts). This works well for the first titles but after inserting a few sections, the space size between characters decrease and becomes less (when previewing and full export) readable and seems to double when editing the text: Normal pictures: This is quite readable This is less readable Edit the less readable Is there a way to preserve the character space, and keep the subtitles readable?

For ages I've been happily using QuickTime 7 Pro for all my video needs. I guess with Catalina now the time has come to move on ... But there is one thing that keeps holding me back. In QT7 I could easily add and remove subtitle files as simple text files in this form: {QTtext}{timescale:100}{size:12}{backColor:0,0,0}{textColor:65535,65535,65535}{width:320}{justify:left} [00:00:00.980] {textEncoding:256}Hello! [00:00:01.980] [00:00:02.422] {textEncoding:256}How are you? [00:00:03.422] etc. That doesn't (didn't?) work in QuickTime X. Nor do I seem to be able to add SRT files to a movie file. Now, I've heard some rumors that QuickTime X in Catalina is getting some Pro features. Has anyone got a clue if any form of subtitles is finally supported or if there are any workarounds? Much appreciated.

I want to select text in subtitle when playing video for learning English. For example, when i playing video, i have a new word in subtitle, i select and translate it. macOS 10.14 and Safari Netflix is the source of video and subtitles Can anyone help me determine if the words can be copied as text?

I have a subtitle .srt file. Is there an app which can change the encoding of this file. (I guess it's encoding is Arabic(windows-1256) but vlc and MXPlayer didn't open it.) The link of subtitle is here .

I have an embedded movie in a Keynote presentation that I’ll be giving to a set of people who don’t have english as a first language. I looked for the option to turn on subtitles but with no luck. Is this functionality missing? I’m using Keynote 8.3 (the current version at time of writing) if that makes any difference.

I added a subtitle to a mp4 file use ffmpeg , I can turn on/off the subtitle with quickplayer on MacOS. However, the native player on iOS Photos app no longer have subtitle control/support for mp4 video file. I try to use VLC but found VLC even does not have access to Camera Roll on iOS device. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=148089&p=486194&hilit=ios#p486194 Then I try to use PlayerXtreme to do the same thing, although it claims to have subtitle support in a paid upgrade version, but it still cannot load the subtitle correctly. I upload the video file in case anyone want to test. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uzdf10m4xqw7bmr/outfile.mp4?dl=0

I am seriously considering moving from my Android TV-based player to Apple TV player, because my current solution fails completely on playing / streaming videos from from an external server through SMB or FTP protocol with external subtitles. Some software players (i.e. VLC) can browse network shares (some can't), but all of them fails on opening external subtitles, i.e. stored in the .srt or .txt file with exactly the same filename as corresponding video file. It is only possible to display subtitles, if they are embedded into video files that supports embedded subtitles (i.e. MKV) or subtitles downloaded from OpenSubtitles.org. This is especially weird, because happens only on SMB / FTP protocol. When using exactly the same player on local disk, everything works just like a charm. I'd like to ask how does it work in case of Apple TV? While searching the Internet, I managed to learn that Apple TV can play content from local network (don't know, if using SMB or FTP protocol), using VLC or some other players. But I can't find any certain, confirmed information about fetching subtitles from. srt, .txt etc. files stored in exactly the same source and using exactly the same protocol (local share using SMB or external share using FTP) as used for fetching main video file. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Thank you.

On Ubuntu I use SMPlayer or SubDownloader, which both reliably retrieve subtitles from opensubtitles.org . SMplayer even does this automatically for the file you are currently viewing. So far I've tried SolEol , FileBot , SubDownloader (which is a bit behind on versions for Mac OS; seems like the API URL for opensubtitles.org changed) and Undertext . None of them work reliably, some of them not at all.

I began watching a show on Hulu. It came up with Spanish subtitles. I want to switch it to English subtitles. I was instructed by a Hulu customer service rep to go to the Hulu website, log in, pull up the show, start playing it, hover the mouse until the control bar appeared near the bottom of the screen, click the gear, select English from the closed captions options, and then log out on the web site which would set it as a global default. I did this, and it did make the show, as seen on my browser, use English subtitles, but this did not affect the same show as seen on Apple TV. However, if I start watching a new show, the subtitles are in English. It's as though Hulu has "committed" me to watching The Handmaid's Tale with Spanish subtitles, and won't allow it to be changed. The customer service rep said this was a "known problem with Apple TV" and that I'd have to wait for Apple to fix it. I'm dubious. Does anyone have experience with the Hulu app on Apple TV, and can suggest how to force a subtitle language change on a series I've already begun watching?

For some reason, ever since Apple released QuickTime X, QuickTime won't open files with an associated .srt file anymore. I get the error QuickTime can't open it and if I would like to open it in QuickTime 7. And the strange part is, the .srt files are working with Preview. I have Perian installed correctly. I don't mind using QuickTime 7 and I know VLC is far better in using .srt files, but still. This question intrigues me a lot. How can I make QuickTime X work with .srt files?

I have a video in mp4 (MPEG-4) and I would like to add subtitles to it. What tool or application would you recommend to help me write and sync the subtitles with the video?
