# Usage
# =====
#
# Execute script in the directory containing the video and srts files, or modify to take 
# a path argument.
# 
# Expects the directory to contain the video files with correspondingly named 
# srt files in the same directory.
# ie. If there is a file named video.mov, there should be a video.en_US.srt to apply.
# Outputs a new videosubs.mp4 file.
#
# For individual video files, use the ffmpeg command on its own.

# Change input video file extension as needed.
find -E . -type f -regex ".*.mov" -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' name;
do
  f=$(basename -- "$name")

  # Modify the SRT suffix to match your required language, or remove.
  # Change output video file suffix and extension as needed. 
  ffmpeg -nostdin -i "$f" -vf subtitles="$f.en_US.srt" "${f%w.*}subs.mp4" < /dev/null
