How to Add Subtitle to Videos on Mac

Wondershare UniConverter for Mac allows you to add subtitles to videos on Mac. You can also edit the subtitle with changing font, color, size, width, transparency, position, and others. The subtitles can also be added to DVDs, music videos, TV series, and other digital movies. You can add .srt, .ass, or .ssa subtitles files to the video and output as Hardcodec Subtitles or Soft Subtitle (only for MP4 and MOV) for playback. Read the steps list below to learn more.

Note: Hardcodec subtitle is a part of the video files which can not be removed or changed. Soft Subtitle is independent from the video and can be turned on and off during your playback.
