Burned-in subtitles

Burned-in subtitles are rendered into the video picture rather than supplied as a selectable text track.

Updated 2026-10-29 · Topicut editorial

Meaning

Burned-in subtitles are rendered into the video picture rather than supplied as a selectable text track.

A practical example

Changing a word after export requires making a new video output, even if the separate SRT has already been corrected.

What to check

Do not overwrite the original clean export. Keep the subtitle revision used for the burn and inspect whether it obscures important visual content.

For a related planning or text task, open the srt vtt converter. The tool has its own limits; its result is not a measurement or approval of every concept described here.

Continue with the video glossary or a workflow guide.
