FAQ

Burn subtitles into video: common questions

How do I burn subtitles into a video?

Upload the video to GetNixa and click Generate; it writes the subtitles from the speech. Pick a style, then export the MP4. The subtitles are now part of the video picture.

What's the difference between burned-in and SRT subtitles?

Burned-in (hardcoded) subtitles are drawn into the video and always show. An SRT is a separate file that players like YouTube can switch on and off.

Can I burn in an SRT file I already have?

Not at the moment. GetNixa makes the subtitles from the video's speech, and you can edit every word before exporting.

Is it free and without a watermark?

Yes. The Free plan exports MP4 with burned-in subtitles and no watermark, for videos up to 2 minutes, 30 minutes a month.
