[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Do you want to know how to add subtitles just like these without adding keyframes and typing it out all yourself? If so, let me show you how because within Happyscribe with a couple of clicks it can be all done for you. First head over to the happyscribe.com subtitle generator page. From there you can upload a video directly from your device or paste the link within the box. From there Happyscribe is going to ask you to sign up so you can use some of the free minutes to trial this out or you can sign up and use it for multiple projects down the line. And once that file is uploaded it takes a few moments and then it's ready to go. Next you're going to want to click onto that file and you'll see your subtitles appear. They're around 95% accurate and they're known for being super reliable. At this stage you can choose what type of subtitles you want. You can create the same language subtitles also known as captions or you can select a different language and it will translate it all for you also known as subtitles. In the uploader you simply select the option you need whether that's the captions of the original language or translated subtitles in one of the many languages available and Happyscribe will take care of the rest. There's also going to be an option saying human made which comes at a slightly more premium price point and why that is is that you're going to have a native speaker going over all of the subtitles making sure that it is perfect for you. So if you're worried about AI taking over maybe this one's going to be for you. Now for the fun part. The best thing about Happyscribe subtitles is how customizable they are. You can choose from a range of typefaces. Adjust the size, colour, boldness and even decide exactly where the text sits on the screen. You can add a background box, change the opacity and move the subtitles wherever you want. If you only want to edit a single word you can do that too. Just highlight it and change it directly. The same goes for removing or fixing any unwanted text. There's also a sync section where you can control how many lines appear, the gaps between them and how many characters are allowed per line. At the bottom of screen you'll see some blue panels showing the duration of each subtitle. Now when we move it here you can see they turn orange. That means that there's not enough time for the amount of text so you can just adjust this to however long you want it for. Now once everything's ready and you've done all the editing you need and you need to export it you've got some options. You can export the video with the subtitles already burned in or you can download the subtitles files separately like an SRT or VTT which is perfect if you're uploading to YouTube or working with an editor. And just like that you've professionally added subtitles to your video. You have it translated, you can have it in your own language and you didn't really have to do any of the heavy lifting. So whether you need this for social clips or whether it's translated subtitles or you just want a video to be easier to follow HappyScribe has all the tools to make subtitling as easy as possible.
