Here you\u2019ll see the option to enable or disable the subtitles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-14-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\">Up next, let\u2019s see how to add subtitles to MP4 using iMovie.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"6\">Method 4: Using iMovie<\/h4>\n<p class=\"c1\">In iMovie, there\u2019s no straightforward way to add subtitles to your MP4 Video. But here\u2019s a workaround for it, which is to add subtitles manually.\u00a0<span class=\"c0\">In this method, we have to manually go to the timestamp, add the subtitles manually for each dialogue in the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\">Step 1: Import the MP4 video to your library from your computer.\u00a0Once you add the video, press \u2018Space\u2019 to play the video. To add subtitles to your video, you can add markers to the video by clicking on \u2018M\u2019 while the videos are playing.<span class=\"c0\">\u00a0This will make things easier to add subtitles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-8-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Step 2: Once the marker is added, click on \u201cTitles\u201d to add text to your video. For this, we will be using the title called \u201cLower\u201d. Drag and drop it to the timeline to add it to your video.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ezgif.com-video-to-gif-8.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Step 3: Once you add the \u201cLower\u201d title to your timeline, you can double click the text to customize it and add subtitles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-10-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\">That was easy, wasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\">All these media players allow you to customize and adjust the subtitles further according to your wish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">So, adding subtitles using them and customizing them as per your wish is not a tough job, provided you have premade subtitles ready to be added. Whereas, if you don\u2019t have subtitles ready for adding to your video, it\u2019s going to be tough for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c9\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"c0\">******<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Adding subtitles to your video has its advantages, right from accessibility to making your content engageable by the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Moreover, we also have a video guide on how to create subtitles easily using Animaker subtitles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FRgBrBQsn_s\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Read more subtitle guides &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c8\"><a class=\"c5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/how-to-make-subtitles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to make subtitles<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"c8\"><a class=\"c5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/how-to-add-captions-to-reels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to add captions to reels<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">What are you waiting for?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Get on Animaker subtitles and start creating beautiful-looking subtitles for your videos easily.
