The method for incorporating subtitles into a video utilizing the ffmpeg filter is as follows:

1. Create a subtitle file in a supported format, such as .srt or .ass.

2. Open the command line or terminal on your computer.

3. Navigate to the directory where your video and subtitle files are located.

4. Use the following command to add subtitles to your video:

ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -vf subtitles=subtitle_file.srt output_video.mp4

Replace "inputvideo.mp4" with the name of your original video file, "subtitlefile.srt" with the name of your subtitle file, and "output_video.mp4" with the name you want to give your final video file.

1. Press Enter to run the command.

2. Wait for the process to finish. This may take a few moments depending on the length and size of your video.

3. Once the process is complete, your new video file with subtitles will be saved in the same directory as your original files.
