You cannot combine them through iTunes. You will need a 3rd party app such as Handbrake that can bake the srt file into the movie file either in a soft or hard manner. Soft subtitles can be turned on or off. Hard subtitles are permanently added onto the movie and cannot be turned off.

Do you mean you want to manually type in the subtitles yourself scene by scene?
Or are you looking for an option to somehow get the film to show subtitles when you are watching it?
For the first one, you need a special software to create a subtitle file (.srt) to link to the movie.

for the second one, if no subtitles were added to the movie in post production, you can't magically get any subtitles to appear as there would be nowhere to pull them from.
Thanks for your response,
I have an mp4 file which has a production film in German. I have an English .srt file but I have no idea how I can combine these either on iTunes or so I can upload them to my iPad Pro. You can see my delmer.
