Formatting burnt-in subtitles

CaptionHub allows you to customise the look and feel of your burnt-in subtitles. When you click on Render, the following window will open.

You can adjust the settings to suit your particular requirements. To change the font and / or background colour, you'll need HTML colours, expressed as hex values. Many colour pickers for this exist online, or you can use an application like Photoshop to determine the values you need.

If you press the Save as new template button you can save the settings you created, so you don't need carry on entering them. In the Preset templates dropdown, you can pick a pre existing template.

If you need custom captions positions, they can be defined using a Positional override . This could be useful for example to add extra padding for a specific position for your video.

To use our render formatter and apply positional overrides, you’ll need to select Layout, and click Add custom position.

Once in this view, you’re able to render the default caption position for a single position, essentially redirecting where you’d like that caption position to be consistently placed. Within Layout, you can add and enforce a new positional override by selecting the caption position and inserting the desired offset. Simply add custom position for and up to all 9 caption positions you’d like to be rendered somewhere else.

Custom fonts

If your organisation has your own custom font requirements, then CaptionHub's burnt-in subtitle renderer can support them. Please contact the sales team for more details.
