There are generally two types of subtitles: hardcode subtitles and soft subtitles. Hardcode subtitles are burned in subtitles that are permanent and cannot be removed. Hardcode subtitles are a part of the video and once they are burned into your video they cannot be edited. On the other hand, soft subtitles can be toggled on and off. They are not permanent.
Hardcode subtitles do not require any additional plugins, whereas soft subtitles are not compatible with some platforms. In such cases, the only way you can add subtitles is by hardcoding them.
