Create Subtitle and Embed Subtitle Into Video

I create this article because today I want to add translation text in a music video. I search some information from the internet about it. What I want is a free and simple application. Then I find some steps to create and embed subtitle into a video. First, you create SubRip (.srt) file using an application named Subtitle Workshop. Then you can embed it using another application. The simplest way is by using Freemake Video Converter but if you want more advance you can use VirtualDub.

Using Subtitle Workshop is so easy and simple. Anyway, it's better if you use some shortcut keyboard keys when you work on this application like ALT+C and ALT+V to set the start and end time of a subtitle. When you have finished this step you will have SubRip (.srt) file. At this time you have been able to watch your video with the subtitle on a media player like Windows Media Player, VLC, etc. But, if you want to embed your subtitle in your video you can go to the next step.

Subtitle Workshop

Like its name, basically Freemake Video Converter is a video converter application. But, it has a feature to add subtitle into video that will be converted. What you need to do just choose the video then choose the subtitle that had been created by Subtitle Workshop.

Freemake Video Converter

If you need better subtitle quality, you can use VirtualDub. It's an open source application. Like some of other open source applications, it's not user friendly in the installation process, you need download VirtualDub and additional program which is needed separately. The steps are as follows.

Download VirtualDub. You don't need installation process. You can run VirtualDub.exe after download was completed.
Add Subtitle Plugin to VirtualDub.
Download SRT to SSA Converter. VirtualDub doesn't accept SRT file so you must convert the subtitle file that had been created by Subtitle Workshop before. With this application you can configure the text position, font color, etc.
Last, you add the video and the SSA file into VirtualDub then run the compression process. You can adjust video and compression properties before.

For more detail instructions and steps about how to use VirtualDub, you can learn from this site.

This is video with embedded subtitle using Freemake Video Converter. The SRT file which had been built still doesn't have text properties. The video compression result isn't so good where it leaves a number of black area on the side of video frame.

Subtitle of this video embedded by VirtualDub. The SSA file has some text properties that has been adjusted by using SRT to SSA converter.

Deploying a Web Server on UpCloud using Terraform Modules

In my earlier post , I shared an example of deploying UpCloud infrastructure using Terraform from scratch. In this post, I want to share how to deploy the infrastructure using available Terraform modules to speed up the set-up process, especially for common use cases like preparing a web server. For instance, our need is to deploy a website with some conditions as follows. The website can be accessed through HTTPS. If the request is HTTP, it will be redirected to HTTPS. There are 2 domains, web1.yourdomain.com and web2.yourdomain.com . But, users should be redirected to "web2" if they are visiting "web1". There are 4 main modules that we need to set up the environment. Private network. It allows the load balancer to connect with the server and pass the traffic. Server. It is used to host the website. Load balancer. It includes backend and frontend configuration. Dynamic certificate. It is requ...

Increase of Malicious Activities and Implementation of reCaptcha

In recent time, I've seen the increase of malicious activities such as login attempts or phishing emails to some accounts I manage. Let me list some of them and the actions taken. SSH Access Attempts This happened on a server that host a Gitlab server. Because of this case, I started to limit the incoming traffic to the server using internal and cloud firewall provided by the cloud provider. I limit the exposed ports, connected network interfaces, and allowed protocols. Phishing Attempts This typically happened through email and messaging platform such as Whatsapp and Facebook Page messaging. The malicious actors tried to share a suspicious link lured as invoice, support ticket, or something else. Malicious links shared Spammy Bot The actors leverage one of public endpoint on my website to send emails. Actually, the emails won't be forwarded anywhere except to my own email so this just full my inbox. This bot is quite active, but I'm still not sure what...

How To Discover Exposed Digital Assets for Free Using Noxtara

If you have a website or public-facing digital assets, you might wonder whether they’re secure and what potential entry points could be at risk. A great first step is to list all the digital assets connected to your main domain. One free tool that can help with this is called Noxtara. It offers a variety of security tools in one integrated dashboard, including a feature for discovering public-facing assets. Creating a free account is simple—just head over to the registration page . If you’ve got a company email that matches the domain you want to scan, it’s best to use that since it makes adding the domain to the Noxtara platform much easier. No worries if you don’t have a company email, though; you can still sign up without a problem. Just keep in mind that when you want to add your company’s domain for scanning, you’ll need to go through a quick DNS record check. Registration Once you’ve registered, you can set up a team and add your domain in the team settings. If the domai...

What's Good About Strapi, a Headless CMS

Recently, I've been revisiting Strapi as a solution for building backend systems. I still think this headless CMS can be quite useful in certain cases, especially for faster prototyping or creating common websites like company profiles or e-commerce platforms . It might even have the potential to handle more complex systems. With the release of version 5, I'm curious to know what updates it brings. Strapi has launched a new documentation page, and it already feels like an improvement in navigation and content structure compared to the previous version. That said, there's still room for improvement, particularly when it comes to use cases and best practices for working with Strapi. In my opinion, Strapi stands out with some compelling features that could catch developers' attention. I believe three key aspects of Strapi offer notable advantages. First, the content-type builder feature lets us design the data structure of an entity or database model , including ...

My Review for Free Project Management Tools

For about a year I had used Trello as my team project management tool. It helps my team to maintain our "to-do" lists. But after increasing project numbers, as operation manager, I feel hard to maintain each of the team jobs on some projects. Some tasks become untouched. After a meeting, our team realizes that what the team need is clear detail about "What should I do today?" or "What should my teammates do today?". We need to find another project management tool. Trello uses the Kanban scheme which is very adaptive. I feel it's not suitable for my team, which consists of some people with different levels of expertise and who work on multiple projects. We need a tool that is better for a more prescriptive process to maintain our projects. Other features of the project management tool that we need are free, simple, secure, fast, and has mobile support. First, I search on Google for "Best Free Project Management Tool". After that, I decided...

Manage Kubernetes Cluster using Rancher

Recently, I sought a simpler method to deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters across various cloud providers. The goal was to use it for development purposes with the ability to manage the infrastructure and costs effortlessly. After exploring several options, I decided to experiment with Rancher. Rancher offers a comprehensive software stack for teams implementing container technology. It tackles both the operational and security hurdles associated with managing numerous Kubernetes clusters. Additionally, it equips DevOps teams with integrated tools essential for managing containerized workloads. Rancher also offers an open-source version, allowing free deployment within one's infrastructure. The Rancher platform can be deployed either as a Docker container or within a Kubernetes cluster utilizing the K3s engine. We can read the documentation on how to install Rancher on K3s using Helm . Rancher itself enables the creation and provisioning of Kubernetes clusters and ...
