Ran it for real: a naive unescaped force_style command failed instantly with a filter-parse error, and this machine's actual Homebrew ffmpeg genuinely lacks libass, exactly the failure mode the skill warns to check for first; its documented soft-mux fallback then ran clean, producing a verified togglable Chinese (zho) mov_text track via ffprobe.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What WJS Burning Subtitles does

Burns SRT subtitles into video pixels via ffmpeg/libass for players like WeChat Channels and Douyin that ignore embedded subtitle tracks, or soft-muxes a togglable mov_text track for QuickTime/VLC/IINA. Also runs the final one-pass encode for a burn+dub+original-audio-bed localization pipeline so no cascade of re-encodes is needed. Triggers once a user has a video plus an SRT and asks to burn-in, embed, or soft-mux subtitles, or to do the final composite after a dubbing step.
