If it's not the first time you are trying to hardcode subtitles to a video, you know it's a but tricky. I've tried to do it last week actually and wow... I never thought that something that seems that easy can be so complicated nowadays. But let's not talk about the past, because yes, it's the past. Happy Scribe just launched a Subtitle Generator that will generates subtitles and captions automatically to your videos. More than that, you are able to either download your subtitles on a separate file or hardcode them directly on your video. Does that sounds like an answer to what you're looking for?
*In that context, ASS refers to a subtitles format, didn't see that coming uh?
By default subtitles are on a distinct file with the video. That way if you want to read your video with subtitles, you need to open the video with a video-player and then open the subtitles on the player. The thing is, some video-player or device don't support subtitle on a separate file. "Hard-coding" or "burning subtitles" on a video means that you basically add the subtitles directly on the video by merging the video and subtitle file. That way your video will ALWAYS have subtitles regardless of the video-player, the device or the platform you are upload your video on.
