Hardcode Dutch subtitles into video

Burn-in (hardcoded) subtitles are permanently embedded in the video pixels and cannot be turned off. Soft subtitles (SRT/VTT) are separate files that viewers can toggle on/off. Burn-in is ideal for social media where caption support is inconsistent.

Yes! Sonix offers extensive styling options including font family, size, color, background color, opacity, and position (top, middle, bottom). Preview your style in real-time before rendering.

Sonix preserves your original video quality during the burn-in process. We use high-quality rendering to ensure subtitles look crisp and professional without degrading your footage.

Processing time depends on video length and resolution. A typical 10-minute 1080p video takes about 5-10 minutes to render. You'll receive an email notification when your video is ready.

Sonix exports burned-in videos as MP4 files with H.264 encoding—the most universally compatible video format. Your video will play on virtually any device or platform.

No. Once subtitles are burned in, they're permanent. We recommend thoroughly reviewing and editing your transcript in the Sonix editor before rendering. You can always create a new burn-in version if needed.

Yes. Flemish shares the same written standard as Netherlands Dutch, so Belgian Dutch audio is transcribed with the Dutch language model, and you can adjust regional vocabulary in the transcript editor before exporting.

No. Afrikaans evolved from Dutch but is a distinct language, so choose the language setting that matches your audio rather than treating the two as interchangeable.

Dutch speakers often mix English terms into business and tech conversations, and those loanwords may need light cleanup, which you can do in the built-in editor after the automated transcript is ready.
