Actually, when we watch movies online, the movies would include subtitles. But it is also very common that the subtitles in the movies we downloaded online may be not in the familiar languages. Or sometimes we need to add subtitles to movies so as to watch movies with ease. This guide is centering on how to add SRT subtitles to movies so as to let you freely watch movies in familiar languages on various media players or portable devices like iPhone 5, Lumia 920, iPad mini, Surface, etc.

Step 1: Preparation work, including: download and install this program on your computer; get SRT subtitles ready (You can download SRT subtitles online if you haven’t got one).

Step 2: Launch the program and import source movies to the app. After loading, the imported movies would be listed on the left processing list panel.

Meanwhile, you can click "settings" button next to the "Profile" box to reset output file parameters: video codec, video size, quality, aspect ratio, frame rate, bit rate, audio codec, etc.

Step 4: Click the convert button on the bottom-right to start the conversion.  The program would output videos with the subtitles you added in.
