How to export a video in Subtitle Edit

[charrua1]

Hello to all.

I added subtitles to a song with Subtitle Edit but when I try to export the video with the burned subtitles only exports the srt. files. What are I missing? Do I have to use an encoder or something like that? How does exactly work?
Thank you very much in advance.

Subtitle Edit, as the name suggests, edits subtitles so you will need to use a video encoder to burn them into your video. Something like Handbrake can do this.

It's like davejavu says:

Q: Can Subtitle Edit add the subtitles to the video file?
A: No, Subtitle Edit cannot do this - but one or more of the 100+ output formats should work. Use either File -> Save as... for text based formats or File -> Export... for binary/image-based formats.
There are two ways of adding subtitles into the video file - hardcoding (cannot be turned off ever, so this might be a bad idea) or embedding (only for some formats like mkv, mp4).
Read more about adding subtitles to video or perhaps a tutorial called Using Handbrake to Burn in Subtitles from MKV to MP4 for Apple TV.
