Posted by : Unknown

Hallo everyone, in this opportunity i will share you how to make subtitle without software. Maybe one of you ever meet this condition, when you downloaded a movie (foreign movie), you found the subtitle is not synchronize well or the subtitle using a weird grammar (like my post maybe :p ) and also maybe you want to make your own subtitle with your own language style. Whatever the reason, you will always able to make your own subtitle using Notepad.

How To Make Subtitle Without Software

Ok, this is how it works. Firstly if you haven't know how to make .srt/subtitle file work with your video, read my latest post "How To Make .srt Subtitle File Work With Any Media Player". Now we will learn how to use notepad for creating a subtitle.

1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,500
Conversation Here

<Red>
This number is to show the sequence of subtitle who will shown first, even though we've put the time under for time of occurrence and every subtitle will shown directly if you not use this number at first.

<Green>
This is for the time and duration of the text to show. 00:00:05,000 this is for Hour:Minute:Second,millisecond. You can adjust the millisecond as you wish from 001 - 999 to match the video. And for this icon "-->" this arrow is a must, i have tried using (-), (->), and (--) and the media player said "cannot render the file", so this arrow icon "-->" is a must.

<Blue>
This is where you put the subtitle text/the conversation text.

To make it bold and italics text you can use

 For italics text

and

 For bold text

This text is similar to HTML language. I will give a little explanation about HTML language so you can make your own subtitle style. In HTML language every code start with <> and closed by </>, see the different? only in slash.

This will make italics text

This will make bold text

Make the text colored

If only text

The text will still appear but not colored, so you need to choose the color with adding this code (color="") insert the color inside the quotes.

i.e:

text text text

You can write the color with normal language (in English) like blue, yellow, red and etc, or for more color you can use color code like #ffffff for with text and #000000 for black text and more, you can easily find this color code in any drawing or text software like Microsoft word, paint and etc.You can also change the size of the text with adding one more code inside "font".

i.e:

text text text

The size can be in pixel (px) or percent (%) or you don't need to wrote it, like:

Text Text Text

So, to make subtitle with italics and colored text and different size the code will be like this

Text Text Text

I will give you other example
This what i wrote in notepad.

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Italics text with colored font and
different size
2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,900
Bold text
3
00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:10,080
Normal Text

And the result will be like this

Don't forget to save your work with File -> Save as -> File name : enter the name of your subtitle (make it same like your video is better) and add .srt behind the name (i.e: avatar.srt) and in the Save as type choose: all files and Save.

Easy right :)
