Adding Subtitles

[Super Shanko]

Does anyone know of a good program that can add subtitles to MPEG's or at least a WMV?

any good NLE should be able to add the subtitles to your AMV. I used Magix Movie Edit 10 to do those in my vid (see my sig line), so I am assuming that most should be able to as well.

I prefer using Sub Station Alpha along with VirtualDub. You can find a decent guide here - http://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/170420.php.

Why would you want to add subs anyways?

Why would you want to add subs anyways?

Lyrics/translations if one uses a song that has non-english lyrics. Or maybe even go so far that he/she'll want to make a karaoke one like is seen with fansubs nowadays.

Or if the AMV is so story-based that it requires new lines to bring up the story.

Parody. At least that's what I use subtitles for. It's hard to find real subtiles that say 'STFU' after all.

You can use WMM2.

The first link I found at the second link. The first link has some XML code that you can add to WMM2 to better customize whatever titles, subtitles, and credits you want. One set of XML code is supposed to able put subs more towards the bottom of the screen as opposed the where WMM2 normally puts them. Hope this helps.

Thanks for those links.

I am always looking to squeeze a little more out WMM2
