add subtitle and water file at one time:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i warter.png -filter_complex “[0:v][1:v]overlay[logo];[logo]subtitles=av1.srt[sub]” -map [sub] -map 0:a output.mp4 ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i warter.png -filter_complex “[1:v]scale=120:120[simg];[0:v][simg]overlay[logo];[logo]subtitles=av1.srt[sub]” -map [sub] -map 0:a output.mp4
[1:v], 1 is the original video, 0 is the input.mp4, 1 is the warter.png，if there are secound water file , it will be 2，simg replace the first midle file of the first filter, self define。
[1:v]scale=120:120[simg]，scale the warter file of number 1，[0:v][simg]overlay[logo] integrate the video and logo，overlay=0+t*10:0，move the logo based on time
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i warter.png -filter_complex “[1:v]scale=120:120[s];[0:v][s]overlay=x=’if(gte(t,0), 0+mod(t,5)*20, NAN)’:y=0[logo];[logo]subtitles=av1.srt[sub]” -map [sub] -map 0:a output.mp4
