How to color some text with .vtt and ffmpeg hardcode burn
I have a .vtt subtitle that i wish to burn into a video, but i would like to display some of it another color.
For example :
This is IMPORTANT !
I would like the word IMPORTANT to be in red.
My ffmpeg code :
fmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "subtitles=sub.vtt" output.mp4
Using .vtt syntax, the only change I can have is italic with <i>.<c>, <c.red>, <ruby>, etc.. aren't doing anything...
This is <i>IMPORTANT</i> !
Inside ffmpeg -vf, i can use force_style to change subtitle color, but i can only change the whole line, not part of it.
Thanks.

Convert subs to ASS format and use an editor like Aegisub to add mark-up. The subtitling engine ffmpeg uses to generate bitmap for hardcoding works only with ASS format. All other formats are converted to it.

FFmpeg delegates to libass the job of rasterizing text subtitles, and that library, as its name suggests, only works with ASS subtitles. When subtitles in another format are provided, ffmpeg will convert them to ASS. FFmpeg supports parsing only a limited amount of markup in VTT - <i> <b>, <u>.
So, convert subs to ASS format and use an editor like Aegisub to add mark-up.
