There are several straightforward ways to add subtitles to a video:
- Use video editing software like Clipchamp:
- Import your video into Clipchamp.
- Select the video in the timeline and go to the captions tab.
- Use the "transcribe media" feature to automatically generate subtitles.
- Edit any errors in the transcript, adjust the appearance of subtitles, and export your video with embedded subtitles or download an SRT file.
- Use online tools such as VEED or Clideo:
- Upload your video.
- Automatically generate subtitles via AI transcription or upload your own subtitle file.
- Edit the subtitle text, customize font, size, and color.
- Download the final video with hardcoded subtitles or the subtitle file separately.
- Use YouTube's subtitle feature:
- Upload your video to YouTube Studio.
- From the Subtitles menu, add a language and you can either upload an SRT file, type subtitles manually, or use auto-sync with a transcript.
- Publish subtitles directly on the platform or download subtitle files.
These methods offer options for automatic generation, manual editing, and customizable subtitle style to fit different needs and skill levels. They also support exporting subtitles as separate files or embedding them into videos for accessibility and viewer engagement.
