Assume I have an existing well-encoded MP4 video WITHOUT subtitles.
Now I want to add the text "foobar testtext" with fontsize=18 and fontfamily Verdana into video beginning at 1min23sec and ending at 3min44sec centralized 30 pixels above lower border.
How can I most easily achieve this?
If possible/necessary the text could be put fix encoded into video and not only as traditional subtitle.

If you want to play the video with external subs, then create a subtitle file for it with the same name as the video. Aegisub can set up the styles (font, text size ) for you and create the subs.
Encoding the subs into the video degrades the video and should be avoided. You can embed the subs without reencoding. I don't know if MP4 allows for that but repacking it as an MKV does allow for it, -

Open you video with Aegisub:
1. Mark the start and end position of your subtitle
2. Export it to *.srt
3. Get the latest MP4Box, install MeGUI to get the last one, my version is "MP4Box - GPAC version 0.7.2-DEV-rev357-g7115eeb8-master"
4. Convert the .srt to .ttxt with the command below:
Code:mp4box -ttxt your_subtitle.srt -out converted_subtitle.ttxt Timed Text (SRT) import - text track 400 x 60, font Serif (size 18) Conversion done
6. To mux it in to your mp4 use the command below:
Code:mp4box -add converted_subtitle.ttxt:lang=eng":name=English":layout=0x60x0x-1:group=2 your_video.mp4 -out subtitled_video.mp4 Timed Text (GPAC TTXT) Import Saving to subtitled.mp4: 0.500 secs Interleaving
This extra information will be listed inside your MP4:
Code:Text ID : 3 Format : Timed Text Codec ID : tx3g Duration : 4 min 55 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 65 b/s Stream size : 2.36 KiB (0%) Title : English Language : English Default : Yes Forced : No Alternate group : 2 Encoded date : UTC 2018-12-22 21:01:44 Tagged date : UTC 2018-12-22 21:01:44
