How to add subtitle (.srt) file to Quick Time Player while playing a video ?

I tried to add a subtitle file (.srt) file to QT Player while playing a video. But it is not showing the subtitle file and also I'm not able to add it.


I have my video with respective subtitle (.srt) file in the same folder. But it's not detecting the subtitle file present.


Note: I also tried with .qt.txt subtitle file. It's still not detecting.


Is anything am I doing wrong ?

You can embed subtitles using third party tools, then they will be available through the controller icon or through the menu in QuickTime Player.

E.g. Subler – a macOS app to mux and tag mp4 files. When adding .srt, they will be converted to tx3g automatically, as needed.
