How are movie subtitles made?

Method 1 of adding Subtitles: use the subtitle function of Windows media play classic (storm video). Windows media play classic (hereinafter referred to as MPC) is the most popular playback software at present. It can support all streaming media formats and play very smoothly. In addition, it has a special function, which is the function of loading subtitles we want to talk about here. After running the software, you need to make some settings for the software to enable the subtitle loading function. Open the "view" menu, select "options" in the dish, click "playback" in the left list in the task window, expand the "playback" list, and then click "output" under the list. We need to make some settings for several options on the right side of the interface. First, select "VMR 7 (no conversion) in the" DirectShow video "option, and then select" DirectX 7 "in the" realmedia video "and" quick time video "options respectively. As can be seen from the figure, the "DirectX 9" option in the figure is gray and not optional, because the author's graphics card does not support DirectX 9. In addition, click "subtitle" in the "options" window to adjust the font, color, size and position of subtitle text. After setting, click "OK" to complete the setting. At this time, the "subtitle" column under the "play" menu is available, indicating that the software has been set. Next, open the movie to add subtitles, select "load subtitles" in the "file" menu of MPC, load the subtitle file of the movie, and you can see the Chinese subtitles in the movie. As for subtitle files, you can download them from the website dedicated to subtitle download. The second method of adding subtitles is to use SMIL to combine RM and RM files to load subtitles, because there is no software that can directly add subtitles to RM files. The purpose of using SMIL here is to organize RM and RM files to load subtitles. The so-called "SMIL", namely "Synchronous Multimedia Integration Language", is a markup language similar to HTML. It can play video, audio, pictures, flash and other media formats in one window. The operation method we use here is to first convert the subtitle file of SRT into RT file, generate a smil file, then run the SMIL file to play the movie, and load the subtitle file into the movie. First of all, we need to convert the SRT file into RT file. What we need to use here is a web page program. This is a program inadvertently found by the author on the Internet. It is written by an enthusiastic netizen. At present, it only supports web page operation. First enter in the address bar, and then the execution interface of the web program will be opened. Fill in the attribute of RM movie file in the program interface. "RM file name" must be filled in as the file name of RM movie file without.

Then paste the SRT subtitle file into the box below; Next, set the size and color of the text in the generated. RT subtitle. If there are multiple lines of subtitles in the middle, please set the "subtitle occupation height" to a larger value. Finally, press the "generate" button to save the contents in the RT file column and the SMIL file column as text files respectively. The file name is the same as the RM file, and the extensions are. RT and. SMIL respectively. Finally, put them in the same directory as the RM file, and click the. SMIL file to play. In addition, the player should preferably be a version after RealOne[ Subcreator is a DivX film plug-in subtitle production software. You can use it to add subtitles to the film in hand.
