Subtitles

MoneyPrinterTurbo can automatically generate time-synced subtitles and burn them into your video. You can control the engine, font, color, position, and size.

Subtitle engines

Edge (recommended)
Whisper
Disabled

The edge engine uses timing data from Edge TTS voice synthesis to sync subtitles. It is fast, requires no model download, and works well for most videos.

config.toml

[app]
subtitle_provider = "edge"

Best for: Most use cases, fast generation, no extra setup.

The whisper engine transcribes the generated audio using OpenAI’s Whisper model, producing more accurate word-level timing. It is slower and requires downloading a ~3 GB model file.

config.toml

[app]
subtitle_provider = "whisper"

[whisper]
model_size = "large-v3"
device = "CPU"
compute_type = "int8"

The model is downloaded automatically from HuggingFace on first use. If HuggingFace is not accessible, download manually and place in ./models/whisper-large-v3/.Best for: Higher subtitle accuracy, when edge timing is off.

Leave subtitle_provider empty to generate videos without subtitles.

config.toml

[app]
subtitle_provider = ""

Subtitle styling

These parameters control how subtitles appear in the video. Set them in the Web UI or pass them in the API request body.

subtitle_position

string

default:"bottom"

Vertical position: "bottom", "top", or "center".

font_name

string

default:"STHeitiMedium.ttc"

Font file name. Font files must be present in the resource/fonts/ directory. To add a custom font, place the .ttf or .ttc file there and use its filename here.

font_size

integer

default:"60"

Font size in pixels.

text_fore_color

string

default:"#FFFFFF"

Subtitle text color as a hex string, e.g. "#FFFFFF" for white.

text_background_color

boolean or string

default:"true"

Background fill behind subtitle text. Set to true for a default background, false to disable, or a hex color string for a custom color.

stroke_color

string

default:"#000000"

Outline (stroke) color for subtitle text, e.g. "#000000" for black.

stroke_width

float

default:"1.5"

Width of the text outline in pixels.

Adding custom fonts

Place any .ttf or .ttc font file into the resource/fonts/ directory in the project root, then reference it by filename in font_name.

MoneyPrinterTurbo/
  resource/
    fonts/
      STHeitiMedium.ttc      ← default
      MyCustomFont.ttf        ← your custom font

If you need subtitles in a language with non-Latin characters (e.g. Japanese, Arabic), ensure you use a font that supports those glyphs.
