We encourage all users to use the built-in video overlays as described here.
When downloading video files using the Blueye File Transfer application, or the Blueye Android App, you will also receive a subtitle file with dive data. When playing the video file in a player with support for external subtitle files the dive information will be displayed on top of the video.
However, if you wish to share the video file online or you wish to edit multiple video files together to a movie in a video editing software, you need to permanently overlay the subtitles on the video file before sharing it or importing it to your video editor.
HandBrake is a free, open-source video transcoder software, with support for permanently embedding subtitles on a video file. An alternative to HandBrake is the Submerge 3 app ($18.99), available on the macOS App Store.
