Get Out With Subtitles

Posted on by  admin

Subtitles are one of those things that most people initially sneer at. However, once you start using them, it’s hard to stop. Nowadays, I never watch any movies or TV shows without subtitles because the experience is simply subpar without them.

Get Out movie YIFY subtitles - details. All images and subtitles are copyrighted to their respectful owners unless stated otherwise. Get Out (2017) 27 subtitles downloaded 7713 times. Add subtitles. Subtitles for this movie.

Reasons to start using subtitles include:

  • Translations. Obviously, if you’re watching anime or a foreign language film and you don’t speak the language, you’ll need a translation. For most people, subtitles are less jarring than dubbed audio and therefore the preferred way to watch.
  • Inaudible dialog. I love British dramas, but as an American, it can be tough to understand characters with thick accents. Problems with audio mixing are common as well, such as when sound effects are too loud while dialog can barely be heard.
  • Narrative comprehension. If you watch a lot of science fiction with made-up proper nouns or a series like Game of Thrones with hundreds of names, then subtitles can make it much easier to follow along and understand what characters are actually talking about.

Unfortunately, when you download movies and TV shows off the internet5 Best Tools to Download Streaming Video From Any Website5 Best Tools to Download Streaming Video From Any WebsiteIf you want to download videos from websites using online tools and programs, we've rounded up the best to get the job done quickly.Read More, they usually don’t come with subtitles, which means you have to add them in yourself. This is actually a lot easier than you might think so don’t worry too much. Here’s what you have to do…

Where to Download Quality Subtitles

Before you can turn on subtitles for a video, you’ll need to find and download a subtitle file that has been synced with that particular video file. This can be easy as pie if, say, you downloaded a movie off of a torrent site11 Online Sources to Find Legal Torrents11 Online Sources to Find Legal TorrentsRecent events have seen well-known torrent directories like BTJunkie closing their doors or being threatened with closure, leaving many people wondering about the legalities of torrents and which directories are still open to find them...Read More. However, you may not find any available subtitles if you download a YouTube clip.

When looking for subtitles, we only recommend these two sites:

Get Out With Subtitles
  • Subscene — My personal favorite. Unless the movie or TV show you’re trying to watch is underground or decades-old, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll find subtitles that work. Subtitles are categorized by title, language, and whether or not they include hearing-impaired cues.
  • OpenSubtitles — This database is pretty big and the subtitles do work, and you’ll even find some that can’t be found on Subscene, but beware that this site is heavy on the ads. Grabbing subtitles here can feel like a game of elimination as you try to figure out which download links are the right ones.

Once you have the relevant subtitle file for your video, you can add them using one of two methods. I definitely recommend the easy method because it’s faster, more reliable, and involves less work, but the hard method is fine too if you prefer to complicate matters.

The Easy Way: Overlaying Subtitles During Playback

Most modern video players support file-based subtitle overlays. If yours doesn’t, then you should consider switching to ones of these Windows video players, Mac video players, or Linux video players. They’re all free and they’re all packed with nifty features, with subtitle support being the least interesting feature.

Get Out Movie With Subtitles

For this, we’ll demonstrate using VLC Media Player, because it’s free, open source, cross platform, and the most widely used video player as of this writing. But again, most other video players operate in the same way.

Automatic Subtitle Overlay

If you name the subtitle file exactly the same as the video file (excluding the format extension) and keep both files in the same folder, then VLC will automatically load the subtitle file as soon as the video is loaded. Or in other words, when you start playing a video file, VLC will look in the same folder for any subtitle file with the same name.

So if you have a video named:

Then the subtitle should be named, for example:

Manual Subtitle Overlay

If you want to keep the file names separate, if VLC doesn’t recognize the subtitle file you want to use, or if you have multiple subtitle files and you want to load a specific one, there are two manual methods you can use.

First, you can use the menu and select Subtitle > Add Subtitle File… to browse and select the one you want to use. Second, you can simply drag the subtitle file from File Explorer (or Finder or whatever file manager you’re using on Linux) and drop it onto VLC after the video is loaded.

The Hard Way: Burning Subtitles Into the Video File

Using Handbrake, this is relatively simple. It just isn’t as quick or easy as the overlay method above. But since Handbrake is free, open source, cross platform, and supports pretty much all modern video formats, don’t be afraid to give this method a try.

All you have to do is launch Handbrake, select the video file as the Source, switch to the Subtitles tab, click Add External SRT, and select the subtitle file.

Using this method, you have two options: “Forced Only” mode will burn the subtitles into the video data itself, whereas if you turn the “Forced Only” option off, the subtitle will be embedded as a separate track that can be toggled and selected in whatever video player is used to watch it. (With the latter option, you can embed multiple subtitle tracks into a single video.)

Why Do You Use Subtitles?

Now that you know how to add subtitles to a TV show or movie, hopefully, you’ll never have to watch anything without subtitles to guide your viewing experience. That being said, I’m curious: for what reasons do you personally use subtitles? Are they reserved only for foreign translations? Or do you use them 24/7 because they aid in narrative comprehension?

  1. Hey, sometimes I see a 500 website message when I browse this site. Just a heads up, regards

  2. Thank you! I am going to try your methods. I use SUBS in English because nowadays some actors don't care about pronunciation, besides many times loud music, or other sounds don’t let you hear what they are saying.

    Even more, I am a second language speaker and all different flavors of English like Canadian, British, Australian, etc. add to make understanding problematic.

    You posted several other reasons that I couldn't agree more, I am glad you mentioned that, I thought I was the only person having the preference of understanding dialogs 100% with same language SUBS, I really hate translated subs, they usually ruin or betray the whole meaning of the show. Many times streaming sites don’t bother adding SUBS in the original language, the reason beats me, because if I’m right they already have them, and I guess it's not the case with translated ones. Sometimes you have to wait several days until they upload series with SUBS. Etc.

    Again, thank you for your posting (sorry i didn't read other comments)

  3. If I've got a current Roku player, can I add subtitles (via .srt) to an episode/film which is being STREAMED over a Roku channel (Netflix, Amazon, whatever)? Probably not, I know. But this would be supremely cool -- nothing more frustrating than finally finding (say) an old favorite movie, only to find that I can't follow it anymore because I can't hear it.

    Besides the 'cool' factor, this would really stimulate the production of high-quality downloadable .srt's!

  4. Always have issues trying to add subtitles to 3D video files (SMS, OU etc) . Never comes out looking right. Double imagery or similar glitch. Any help would be great.

  5. I use the subtitle option in filebot (www.filebot.net)

  6. simon, right?

    for some reason i couldn't find the TextSub 2.23 when i tried to add the filter.
    any ideas why?

  7. Thanks for the tutorial. I've just tried it out with a small variation. I had to use the vosub filter in the list of filters rather than the textsub which wouldn't work for me.

    I'm running Windows 7 x64 with a quadcore cpu. A 700mb typical avi is taking me 25 minutes to render using xvids multi core processing. That's with the highest details enabled, including the post processing filters within xvid.

    Very happy with the results. I'm ending up with 1.4gb movies instead of 700mb but I wanted to retain every last bit of quality I could during the recoding of the video so don't mind this. And the CD is dead to me so no cares about trying to match that size heh.

    Again, great tutorial and hope these additional details can help someone in a similar situation as me.

  8. jus very good very useful

  9. Hi,

    Interesting reading... I am looking to add subtitles to a film, is there a step-by-step guide for doing so? The film is 'little Lord Fauntleroy' (1980 - with Alec Guinness) and the subtitles should be in Dutch. How easy/hard is this to do, is there a 'dummies guide' or has anyone done this one before?

    Any help / comments greatly appreciated!

  27. Simon, you're a genius. The only problem is that the link to this site is on page 3 of a Google search. I wasted a lot of time on crappy solutions before I got here!

    For others - Follow the download/install instructions to the letter, especially about choosing the TextSub component at the start of VoxSub installation.

  28. Thank you for this article...

    Miley.

  29. Hi, on my website I have a program which is called Sido and you can subtitle .srt subtitle with it. It doesn't require instalation and it's freeware. It runs in a browser window so for char set tweeking you just change the page encoding from the browser. The website is 2sid.com

  30. thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks very much but i have a problem with the language i ont know what is this language i have choosed english sub but it apears in the video in another language like that ( úåøâí îùîéòä ò'énr0bert-å )

  31. Thanks... It’s a useful guide.

  32. Thanks

    It's a useful guide! But i'm having some trouble. The size of the avi-file with subtitle becomes too small. About 300mb? How come?

  33. It subtitled twice ...
    Have I gotten anything wrong ?

  34. :(( don't know why but when I add the filter the program will not open my subtitle file :( what could be the problem ?
    the subtitle is a supported file (.sub)

  35. Thanks for this, it's running now.

    I was using ConvertXtoDVD which is good and very easy to add subs but it only burns to DVD, Quality is very good though, hardly any loss.

    This will save me using a disc, and it's easier than it looks now you have shown me how, so thank you.

  36. Thank you for this article

  39. JUST SHIFT SUBTITLES APPEARANCE

    Hello,
    I was confronted by difficulties with movie subtitles. They display earlier than I need it. Movies assist me in my English studying. I watch and hear but I do not understand all yet. In that case my eyes go down at subtitles. But it relates to next phrase that will be said. And I have to return slider back each time when I need to understand what is said at screen. It is uncomfortable. So I solved this problem. I wrote mega small application to shift subtitles appearance time. Furthermore it resulted simple in use.
    I could provide you this application with exhaustive help for general usage. I thank you for your work that I may get subtitles to any movie. And I want to contribute my share.

    Major thanks

  44. Thank you for this article.

  45. Thank you for this article , really is very interessent

  46. what if there is no TextSub. file? like in Music Video files. using VirtualDub, i opened a music video file and cant seem to locate the TextSub file. now what?

  47. I never before saw how to do this - but I like the idea thereof. I am slowly but surely getting convinced that VLC is the best out there. I wrote about it on my blog. I often found that other media players would get out of lip-sync, but somehow VLC handles it very well.
    Thanks again for this tip - this rocks.

  48. this method takes long time to finished.tell me alternative method

  49. Anyone know how to embed subtitles in an mp4 so they can be toggled on/off with iPhone / Apple TV, etc? We really just want one file, not the video file with a companion .srt text file. I'm not eager to deface my videos with burned 'hard' subtitles (who is?) but I still _need_ subtitles. Can anyone help???

    • @Bart

      Bart, Use 'Media Player Classic' or 'VLC Player' to use soft-subtitles that can be toggled on and off.

      Use 'VOBSUB' to overlay subtitles on other media players during playtime.

  50. Hey man, there is an easier method - using Virtualdub and Subtitle workshop.

  51. I haven't tried out this advice but it looks extremely useful. Thanks very much for taking the time to provide it, Simon.

The range of material available on YouTube is staggering, from silly cat videos to profoundly useful tutorials on business strategies or technology use. Many videos now take advantage of closed-captioning to provide subtitles as well. These can be useful if the video was created in another language, but often they're a distraction. Fortunately, it's easy to turn them off.

1.

Look at the bottom of the YouTube video window as the video begins playing. If the video contains subtitles, a small 'CC' logo will appear in this space, beside the 'Change Quality' and screen-size icons. If it is gray, the captions aren't turned on. If it is red, titles are active.

2.

Click the 'CC' icon to open the closed-captioning menu. Scroll down to the bottom menu option, which reads 'Turn Captions Off.'

3.

Select this option. The icon will gray out, and no more subtitles will appear on the screen.
