Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about
Italian burn-in subtitles

What's the difference between burn-in and soft subtitles?

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.

Can I customize the subtitle appearance?

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.

Will burn-in subtitles reduce video quality?

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.

How long does burn-in processing take?

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.

What video format does burn-in export?

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.

Can I edit subtitles after burn-in?

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.

Why Burn-in

When to use hardcoded subtitles

Social media

Most social platforms auto-play videos without sound. Burn-in subtitles ensure your message is seen even on mute.

Universal playback

Burned-in subtitles display on any device, any player, anywhere—no caption support required.

Custom branding

Match your brand with custom fonts, colors, and styling that stays consistent across all platforms.

Guaranteed visibility

Unlike soft captions that can be hidden or unsupported, burn-in subtitles are always visible to every viewer.
