What are Subtitles? πŸ“œ

Subtitles are written words on a screen. They show what people are saying. They also describe sounds in a video or movie.

How Can I Manage Subtitles for My Video? πŸ“

You can easily add, create, and save subtitles for your videos. This includes both the original language and translated languages. Here's how to handle them:
​


1. I Already Have Subtitles in My Video's Original Language. What Do I Do? πŸ€–

If you have a subtitle file (an .srt file) in your video's first language, you can upload it.

  • Step 1: Start your project on the platform.

  • Step 2: Find "Advanced settings (optional)." Open it.

  • Step 3: Look for the upload box at the bottom.
    ​

  • Step 4: Upload your .srt file there. The file will connect to your project.

2. I Already Have Subtitles in a Translated Language. What Do I Do? πŸ“œ

You can upload subtitle files for other languages too. This is just like uploading original subtitles.

  • Important: You can choose many languages to translate into. But you can only upload subtitles for one translated language at a time.
    ​

If you don’t have subtitles in the original or translated language, no worries β€” you can create them right on our platform. 😌


​3. I Don't Have Subtitles in My Video's Original Language. What Can I Do? πŸ“œ

No problem! The platform can create subtitles for you. It uses the words spoken in your video.

  • Step 1: Upload your video. The platform will automatically write down what is said. This is called a transcript.

  • Step 2: Check if the transcript is correct.

  • Step 3: Click "Generate Translations" in the top-right corner.

  • Step 4: A menu will appear. Go to "Step 3: Download Outputs."


    ​

  • Step 5: Click "Download Outputs." You can save the subtitle file (like .srt or .vtt) for your original language.

4. I Want to Create Translated Subtitles for My Video. How Do I Do It? πŸŽ₯

After you translate your video and make any changes, you can download the subtitles. This is for the new language (or languages).

  • Step 1: After you translate and edit, click "Generate Dubbed Audio Tracks." This is in the top-right corner.

  • Step 2: A menu will pop up. Scroll down to "Step 3: Download Outputs."

  • Step 3: Click "Download Outputs." You will get your translated subtitles.

Tip: If you are using AI dubbing, you can download subtitles based on the dubbing translation. If you want to work only on subtitles, switch to "Subtitles Mode." Changes in one mode do not affect the other.


​5. I Want to Work Only on Subtitles for My Videos. How Can I Do That? πŸŽ₯

If you only want to make and change subtitles, you can use "Subtitles Mode." This mode has special subtitle settings.

  • Step 1: Upload your original video. Check the transcript if you don't have original subtitles.

  • Step 2: Click the settings icon.

  • Step 3: Choose "View Preferences."

  • Step 4: Change from "Dubbing Mode" to "Subtitles Mode."

    • Note: Switching to "Subtitles Mode" turns off voiceover tools. But all subtitle tools stay on.

  • Step 5: Add or choose your target language. Click "Generate Translation."

  • Step 6: Wait for a message that says it's done. This message appears at the bottom-right.

  • Step 7: After translation, you can change the text for your subtitles. Or, you can download your subtitle file right away. Click "Ready to Download" and then "Download Outputs."

  • Step 8: You can download your subtitles as .srt or .vtt files.
