title: FFmpeg - Screenshot/Snapshot with subtitles
body: <p>So, using FFmpeg, I'd like to know how to take a screenshot/snapshot of a single frame of a video on a specific time while having a separate subtitle file's line burned on the image. I'd like something similar to <a href="https://imgur.com/u91SxjK" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>. The external subtitle is an <em>.ass</em> file (Advance SubStation Alpha), by the way, and as I mentioned, a separate file. The video itself has two subtitles softcoded, and I would prefer to not use those.</p>
  
  <p>I tried following <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46866614/get-screenshot-of-video-with-subtitles">this</a> and tried using a command based off the answer of the said question, but, to no avail.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ffmpeg -ss 00:10:49.200 -copyts -i "path-to-video.mkv" -vf subtitles="path-to-subtitle.ass" -vframes 1 output.png
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><a href="https://pastebin.com/Tn92qJiK" rel="nofollow noreferrer">And here's the output I get</a>.</p>
  
  <p>So, what should I do? I appreciate any help. Thanks!</p>
