Subtitle controls in PotPlayer let you adjust text appearance and timing while a video plays. The player also handles a broad mix of video, audio, playlist, and subtitle formats, with options for hardware-accelerated decoding.
How can you adjust subtitles in PotPlayer?
PotPlayer supports subtitle files such as SRT, SUB, SMI, and IDX. Change a subtitle’s font, size, color, style, and rendering, then adjust its timing during playback to bring the text into sync with the video.
To start watching, drag a supported media file into the player window. Playlist formats include M3U, PLS, ASX, CUE, and DPL, so playlists can be opened alongside individual media files.
Which media formats can PotPlayer play?
The supported formats include common video files such as AVI, MKV, MP4, MOV, WMV, and FLV, along with MTS, TRP, and MPEG. Video codecs include H.264 and VP9. For audio, PotPlayer handles MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, OGG, AC3, DTS, and WAV.
DXVA, CUDA, and QuickSync optimization provides hardware-accelerated playback options. The player’s decoding and rendering settings give viewers choices for how video is processed.
Can you change PotPlayer’s appearance or watch 3D video?
Choose a skin from the Skins tab to change the player’s look. PotPlayer also offers manual interface settings, including transparency for the video controls while a movie is playing and touchscreen support on compatible devices.
For compatible 3D viewing setups, turn on 3D Mode in Preferences and watch with 3D glasses. This option is distinct from the standard subtitle and playback controls.
