How do I add multiple subtitles to a video?


Userlevel 1

I already have the video subtitles for all the languages divided into the given times. But I don't know how to add these subtitles to the video, I tried to duplicate the video and create a video for each subtitle, but when I changed 1, all the others changed too. So I wanted to know how to make the subtitles available, either in separate videos or together.

Hey @Mateus welcome to the community, great to have you here and thank you for your question :blush:

Because VideoAsk stores the video in its media library, it treats that as one video, even if you’re using it in multiple duplicated videoasks, which is why if you change the captions in one videoask, it will change them in all. 

A workaround could be to download the video you’ve created and then re-upload it as a new video in each videoask whenever you need to switch up the captions - so you’ll have more than one of the same video but be able to edit the captions separately (hopefully that makes sense!)

We have some feature requests around caption and transcription improvements so I’m going to feed this back to our product team to consider as we continue to develop VideoAsk.

Let me know if you have any other questions or feedback for us

Hi @Grace!

I tried that too, the problem is that I have to create and configure each subtitle time, is there a way to automatically create the subtitle in the standard language even, that I change only the text.

Hi @Mateus 

The subtitles should be generated automatically, if you open up the step and go to the video tab there’s an option for closed captions here:

 

 

If you click on the CC button it should bring up the captions for editing - have you tried that?

I just tested it with the video I uploaded and it shows up without the caption with this text:

There are no captions yet, please create your 1st caption....

Hey @Mateus 

The captions should be generated even if you upload the videoask, what kind of video file are you uploading? We might need to send this one to support to do some troubleshooting but if you want to drop any screen shots or a screen recording of your set up here I can take a look!

Hey @Mateus (Love your name! In Brazil, where I'm from, this is a very common name. It's beautiful!) 

I was just wondering if you got in touch with our support team? If yes, were you able to fix the issue with the caption?

In case you haven't, we can take a look over here. To do so, we'd need some screenshots or a screencast. Looking forward to hearing back from you! All the best! :wink:

Can you Embed a caption tool in the Video Ask UI?

Hey @Steven Zapolski I don’t think it’s currently possible to do this, what did you have in mind? 

I already have the video subtitles for all the languages divided into the given times. But I don't know how to add these subtitles to the video, I tried to duplicate the video and create a video for each subtitle, but when I changed 1, all the others changed too.

You must use a powerful video editor like alight motion pro apk to add subtitles in your video.

One solution to add subtitles to your video is to use a video editing software that supports the addition of external subtitles. Some popular video editors that support this feature include Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and VLC media player. Once you have the software installed, you can import your video and the corresponding subtitle files and align them to match the audio. You can then save the final video with embedded subtitles. Another option is to download and use a dedicated APK specifically designed for adding subtitles to videos on your Android device.
