Write text into a subtitle

[Stan64]

I want to write text into a subfile and add it to my mkv stream. How should I do?

EDIT: Ok, I downloaded sub station alpha, wrote a line and imported it with mkv merge. But How do I do all the fancy effects with fonts people don't have and so on. =/

Read the SSA/ASS specification. You can basically write the subs by hand, no need for Substation Alpha(the program).

Define a style and use it. You´ll have to read the specs, in any case, as you´ll probably have to look up the exact commands.

Ouch that was alot. I have read everything. But are there any good example ASS-files?

Great!
I think i can learn a lot of thing from this example(about fan-sub fancy effect)
Thank you!
