Feature request: Subtitle burn in

[jkkma]

There are some situations where subtitle burn-in is needed like with .ass subtitles that have special positioning and don't work if you upload them to sites where it isn't supported.

Ok, if you add the filter "subtitles", it's already possible, anyway I just added a menu entry to make it easier to input the path. If you want to override the subtitle style check the documentation here https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#subtitles

im getting this error trying to burn in .ass subs Is the ffmpeg in av1ador compiled with --enable-libass like it says in the ffmpeg documentation? https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HowToBurnSubtitlesIntoVideo#subtitlesfilter or is this a different error?

@porcino I think it was an issue with the file path, some characters not correctly escaped so now i put the video in a simple path and added this custom filter: "subtitles='C\:\\Users\\ayybased\\Videos\\coolvideo.mkv'" and it works. As you can see there was a backslash missing before the : character which was an issue when you use the "Subtitle burn" menu entry helper. Just a suggestion to fix the "Subtitle burn" menu entry you made for last nightly version, which is great btw thanks.
