Hello

How can we colorize an SRT file (originally black and white)?

    Hello,

    With a text editor:
    Original:
    1
    00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:20,140
    Hello

    Line 1 colored yellow:
    1
    00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:20,140
    <font color="#ffff00">Hello</font>


    More simply with a subtitle editor

    For example Subtitle Edit (free and open source) https://www.nikse.dk/
    Select all lines / Right-click / Color

    Or without modifying the file, for example with VLC:

    You can choose the color of subtitle display
    Tools/Preferences/Subtitles/Default text color.

    Have a good Sunday

    Hello hipothetix.

    I’ve received your email from this morning, I’ve put it into practice (using the tools/preferences/subtitles/colors of the VLC application)... and it works very well.

    I’ve also noted how you can color several subtitles in different colors, with <font color="#ffff00">Hello</font>, for example, within the same .srt file (and that also works).

    I’ve also noted the Subtitle Edit application which will be useful to me eventually.

    As they say, better one who knows than ten who are looking!

    For all this information as well as the speed and clarity of the response, I send you my warmest and sincerest thanks. Here is a typical example where this forum has been most useful to me. Thank you!!!
