    Hi everyone, I've been trying to add subtitles BELOW the video area, not just at the bottom inside the video area.
    I mean, I want to go from this:

    to this

  2. Add black below the video and put the subs in that. The AviSynth AddBorders command is one way. It requires reencoding, of course.

    The downside in doing that is you will have to add black bars to the sides if you are going to author that,otherwise you will have black bars on the sides no matter what if you watch it in full screen.

  4. If your movie is AR 2:35 or 2.39 and you add srt or ass subtitles, they will be displayed in the black area below the movie.
    No reencode is needed.
    Can be done by clever FFmpeg-GUI.

    What a bad luck, AR s 1.33 (640*480) and 1.48 (640*432), avi format, I guess that re-encoding is imperative. VideoPad allows me to re-encode to 640*640, I hope it won't swell video MB

    No one here uses Videopad since it's cost 70$,better video editors here for free,just encode them,not worth it to me for subs.

    You can add letterboxing/pillarboxing in VidCoder (Handbrake alternative).

    Encoding settings -> Sizing -> Padding

    Thank you, Ygramul, it worked, but something unexpected happened: the FF changed and the output video was trimmed at the rigth border.

    The left is the original AVI video, the right is the MP4 output video, I choosed 12 bit H.265 encoding
    Maybe if I use Handbrake instead, it'd fix it, maybe not.
