Color-coded subtitles not being displayed with correct colors
Posted: 07 Jun 2023 19:46
Does VLC support color-coded subtitles?
(eg the subtitles are coded to have different colors depending on the character speaking)
I downloaded a video with subtitles from youtube. The subtitle file is a .vtt; I'll paste the beginning of the file below (replacing the irrelevant dialog).
When played in VLC, it appears all the subtitles are the default color instead of the colors specified in the .vtt file.
I would like to know if it is possible to get VLC media player to display these color-coded subtitles.
I am not familiar at all with different subtitle formats or subtitle rendering in general.
