I'm trying to get a single frame of a video with ffmpeg including the the subtitles
ffmpeg -ss 00:09:18 -i movie.mkv -vf subtitles=subtitles.srt -vframes 1 screenshot.png
The screenshot is outputting but the subtitles are not on the image.
I'm new to ffmpeg so if anyone could help me, that would be awesome!
Edit: Here's an example of output that I'm getting:
