Subtitles don't come out in the video

[usueiru29]

If I put subtitles on the timeline and export the video, none of the subtitles on the timeline in the video will pop up. Please tell me how to solve this

The one in v2 is subtitled

Shotcut does not automatically pass through subtitles that are embedded in clips on the timeline. It can only output subtitles that have been added to a subtitle track.

See the instructions here:

View > Subtitles

The Subtitles Panel was added in Shotcut 24.08 The Subtitles Panel can be used to add subtitles to a project. Subtitles can only be added to the Timeline. They can not be added to the playlist or clips. We recommend to save subtitle editing until the timeline editing is complete because moving or cutting clips on the timeline will break the subtitle synchronization. Subtitle Tracks To start editing subtitles, click the “add” button and give the subtitle track and name and language. [image] […

If you want to reuse the subtitles from your clips, Shotcut has a feature to extract the subtitles from the clip into a “.srt” file. You can then import those subtitles into the subtitle track.

It looks like they generated text clips from the subtitles onto track V2, but they did not render in the export. Maybe it is a unicode bug.
Please attach a project file with this problem into a reply here.

3분20초.mlt (358.3 KB) This is the file and And can’t you use the subtitles on the timeline?

I opened your video in the latest version 25.08 on Windows and exported and it worked for me. I did not try to substitute my own video because I did not want to look for one that is over 2.5 hours long!
So, I am not sure what is wrong. I used the default export settings.

You wrote “pop up.” I read that as simply appearing in the exported file’s video. However, maybe you are asking how to make an animation when they appear.

How to make subtitles bounce

1. select the first text clip
2. add a Size, Position & Rotate video filter
3. add keyframes and animate the effect: keep it short like half second
   
   
4. in Filters, choose click the copy button and choose Copy Current
   
5. multi-select other text clips
6. right-click a clip and choose Apply Copied Filters

Oh, I think I know the problem. In the subtitle preview, the subtitles look white, but when rendered, the subtitles look black. There’s a dot on Prism Live. I think that’s a subtitle

How to make subtitles bounce

Hi Dan, I like the subtle “double bounce” on those subtitles. Any chance of sharing the effect as a filter-set TXT file? I could make use of that. Thanks!

[shotcut]

It is just 2 keyframes with the first one a bounce keyframe type. The size values are based on this file’s unusual aspect ratio so will not be useful to share. It is basically, animating size from 0 to 100% with a bounce keyframe but fiddling a bit with position and using Size mode = Fit.

OK, thanks Dan, it helps knowing you used the bounce keyframe type. I’ll figure it out. Nice effect.
