But how to add them fast & easy ?

This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process using Checksub, a powerful AI-driven platform that makes the entire subtitling process seamless.

1. Upload Your Video

First, begin by logging into your Checksub account. If you haven’t already signed up, creating an account is simple and straightforward. Once logged in, you’ll see an option to upload your video file. Click on the 'Upload' button to add the video you want to work on. You can either drag and drop the file directly from your computer or browse through your folders to select the correct video. Checksub supports a wide range of video formats, so you don't need to worry about converting your file beforehand.

After uploading your video, you’ll need to select the original language of the content. If you plan to make your video available in multiple languages, you also have the option to add additional target languages for translation during this stage.

Once the language is set, Checksub will automatically prepare the video for the captioning process. This includes analyzing the audio to identify words, phrases, and sentences. This automated preparation is typically fast, depending on the length and complexity of your video. The platform uses advanced speech recognition technology to ensure the transcription is precise, reducing the need for extensive manual correction later on.

2. Edit Captions

Once the initial transcription is complete, Checksub will present the generated captions in its intuitive online editor. Here, you can easily review the text, make corrections, and adjust the timing to ensure perfect synchronization with your video.

Checksub allows you to split sentences, merge lines, and even adjust the timing frame by frame to ensure that the captions are readable and perfectly aligned with the dialogue. For each modification, Checksub will automatically adjust timing and audio synchronization.

3. Make Your Captions Dynamic

You can now customize the appearance of the captions, adding animations and styling to make them stand out. Go to the customization interface and you'll access a variety of features to design and format your subtitles.

By clicking on "Animate", you can add animations to your captions. Dynamic animations like fade-ins, dynamic coloring, slide-ins, or bounce effects.

You can also adjust the font style, size, and color of your captions to align with your video’s overall aesthetic. For example, if your video has a light background, you might want to use a bold font in a darker color to make the text stand out. You can add shadows or outlines to your captions for better visibility, especially when your video has varying backgrounds that might make plain text hard to read.

If you don't want to bother, you can also try our built-in subtitle templates or save and apply your own subtitle template !
