4. Add Subtitles to Video (3 Methods)

With DemoCreator, adding subtitles to your video is a breeze with three simple methods. You can utilize the Auto Subtitles feature to automatically generate subtitles from speech, import an existing SRT subtitle file, or transcribe the audio into subtitles manually.

Method 1: Auto Subtitle

The DemoCreator supports you to automatically generate subtitles for your videos, which uses artificial intelligence to generate your subtitles with near-perfect accuracy. One-click to generate caption automatically based on speech recognition technology. Below are the detailed steps.

Before starting, you need to sign in with your Wondershare account (WSID). Only you're signed in, the program can identify your account information and get how long transcribe time you have.

There are 2 Different Account Status

1. Auto-Caption Free Account

2. Auto-Caption Paid Account

Note:

The Auto Subtitles feature consume AI Credits. Please go to the purchase page to pick up your AI Credits plan.

Method 2: Import Subtitle File

In case you have a subtitle file already, you can click the Import subtitles menu to add it to the video automatically. Currently, you can upload subtitle file in SRT format.

Once the SRT file is loaded, you will see it in the timeline with order. You can then stylize the fonts, size and more of the subtitles just like the auto generated subtitles.

Method 3: Manual Transcribe/Manual Subtitles

In case you didn’t have a subtitle file, you can still transcribe or add subtitles manually. Click the Add Subtitles button in the timeline or click the Subtitles icon in the toolbar and then select Manual subtitles menu.

Click the Plus icon next to the subtitles or the Add blank subtitle button to add subtitle lines quickly. You can also adjust the time stamps to adjust the duration of the subtitles precisely. Like the auto-generated subtitles or uploaded subtitle file, you can also stylize the manually transcribed subtitles in the Basic Settings.

Note:

These automatic captions are generated by machine learning algorithms, so the quality of the captions may vary. Automatic captions might misrepresent the spoken content due to mispronunciations, accents, dialects, or background noise. You should always review automatic captions and edit any parts that haven't been properly transcribed.

If you have any questions about this feature, please feedback to the support.
