Most people do not know it is actually possible to add subtitle to any movie. Many times we watch movies which it becomes too difficult to follow all the words being said, often times some movies are in different languages and we would have to add a subtitle to understand what is being said in our own languages. One easy way to add subtitle to any movie is by using searching and downloading for the SRT files on Google.

How to Add Subtitle to Your Movie
There are two ways to add subtitles to movies – you could either search on Google or go to websites made solely for downloading subtitles. For this tutorial, I will download a subtitle for the TV series, Empire Season 2 Episode 13. Open Google in your browser and type your search parameters as shown below. The S02 means season 2, while the E03 means episode 3. This is the way TV series and subtitles are named on line.

Hit the enter button on your keyboard to bring out the search results on Google. Most times what we need when searching on Google is often found on the first page, only on few occasions do people check second pages on SERPS.

Now click on one of the search results (I normally click the first one). Now Google directs you to the subtitle page for the one you click.

Click on Download Subtitles, the subtitle will be downloaded in ZIP file to your computer. Locate where it is downloaded and unzip it with your compression manager.Now, after unzipping the subtitles they could come in different languages, choose your preferred one (English) out of it. Subtitle files are always in .srt file format (extension).

Copy the subtitle file to the same folder where your movie is. If your movie wasn’t in any folder before create one and move the subtitle file inside with it. You now need to rename either the subtitle with the movie name or vice versa. Just let the name be the same as shown below…

If you do not want to use Google there is a credible website where you can easily go to and download. Subscene.com is a very good website with large database of subtitles, visit the website, search with the title of your movie and download.

SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Download and install MX Player it's on Google Play
Store
2. Use it to watch your movies.
3. While watching a movie click on the 3 dots at the top right of the scree..... Infact i don tire to type already.... Follow the picture below

More!




Note I'm not the one that typed all that name, season episode and for the search o. It happened on it own, immediately i checked that box!

The app is the best movie player ever! It allows you to adjust the subtle speed or synchronize it properly! So that the words don't appear faster/slower than the sound of the words.



As shown below

Did i mention that when you send the video to someone you can also send the subtitle. But the person needs to have a good movie player that can work with a subtitle.


PS: I just noticed that the OP's post was for PC. My own na for phone o. I don't know if MX Player is on PC. Laziness sha, cuz na just a google search away from knowing o! Mtchewwww, I just checked! The thing dey there! But there is a software that turns a FULL LAPTOP to function like an Android phone. You can actually use any app in your laptop that your phone is using! That one na gist for another day!

Oga, take sofrey dey talk wetin you no know! Infact, I never knew laptop could use it! It works on any format of movie! 3gp, mp4, anyone! As long as your MX PLAYER can show that format. And believe me MX PLAYER supports ALMOST every format. I no say ALL formats o.

Adding subtitles to movies is very easy. You can get subtitles from free sources like opensubtitles.org. If you use free applications like MediaBox HD app to watch all latest movies and TV shows for free that too with subititles.

All dis long process when I can simply use mx player to add subtitles easily
