Subtitles in QuickTime.
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Mojave (10.14)
MP4 supports more variation in subtitle formats than QuickTime Player does. For QuickTime Player 10 to detect and use subtitles, the format needs to be embedded ‘Tx3g’. You may find that the Subler application does an excellent job with this, as will will import many formats, and convert to the correct format when saving as a new .mp4 file with embedded subtitles.
This will also function well with iTunes and Apple TV.
