- How to generate podcast subtitles automatically
and turn boring podcast footage
into amazing snippets and audiograms for your socials.
Hey, everyone.
In this video I'm gonna show you
how you can make this happen using
VEED's online video editor.
You can instantly get started
by clicking on the first link in the description.
Once you've clicked on the link,
you'll be instantly taken to VEED's editor.
Now you can start off
by choosing one of the amazing templates
for your audiograms and podcast snippets,
but for the sake of this video,
I want to start from scratch.
So in this case,
I'm gonna upload my podcast file by clicking
on upload a file, selecting the file, and clicking on open.
All right, so as you can see
the podcast footage is imported,
and I want to create subtitles for it.
Now, fortunately, we can create automatic subtitles.
So in this case, I'm gonna head
over to subtitles in the left menu.
Then we're gonna select auto subtitle
then select the language you speak in your podcast.
In this case I speak English.
And then click on create subtitles.
Now the tool will automatically detect the audio
in the podcast and turn this into subtitles.
And now after a moment, as you can see
the subtitles are created, everything is in sync.
You can find the transcripts on the left
and you can edit the subtitles just the way you prefer.
In the subtitles menu on the left,
you can change the words just the way you prefer.
You can add new subtitle lines.
You can even merge subtitles together.
And you can even split the subtitle sentences
in tinier proportions
while keeping the subtitles and audio in sync.
And don't worry if you mumble a little bit
in your audio because the subtitle tool will let you know
if it wasn't sure it heard a word correctly
and you can easily correct it or mark it as correct.
And if you head over to the bottom timeline menu,
even though it's already really accurate
you can easily re-time the subtitles
by clicking and dragging them around, and you can extend
and shorten the length by clicking and dragging the sides.
All right, so now we created subtitles
for our podcast automatically.
And before I show you how you can create amazing snippets
and audiograms from your podcast, I'm gonna show you
how you can download your subtitles separately.
So to make this happen, it's very easy.
Simply head over to options in the subtitles menu.
And then under Download Subtitles,
you can choose to download your podcast subtitles
as an SRT format, VTT or TXT format.
In this case, I'm gonna select the TXT format
and then click on the download button.
And now the TXT file is downloaded to my computer
and if I open it, as you can see, the transcript is in here.
All right, so now that's that.
Now we're gonna create an amazing snippet from this podcast.
So first thing I want to do is change the aspect ratio.
I'm gonna head over to Settings.
And under Size, you can choose one of the aspect ratios.
In this case, I wanna change it to a square,
so I'm gonna click on square.
Now you can easily crop your video in the video canvas
and click and drag your video around.
Next thing I want to do is round the corners of my video.
So in the edit video menu, I'm gonna toggle this on.
Now it's on 20 by default, and you can increase it
to make it more round.
However, I think 20 is decent enough.
Next thing I wanna do is add a gradient background.
I'm gonna head over to Elements in the left menu
and scroll down until I can find backgrounds.
There it is.
I'm gonna click on view all
and select the gradient I want to add.
In this case, I'm gonna select this one.
All right, so now it's added and I'm gonna drag it
out to the corners and make it a little bit bigger.
There you go. I'm gonna right click it.
Head over to Arrange, and click on Bring To Back.
Now you can change the colors on the left.
I think it already looks really decent
so I'm gonna leave it as it is
and make sure in the bottom timeline menu
you extend a layer at its full length if you wish to do so.
And next thing I want to do is customize the design
of the subtitles.
I'm gonna lower this a little bit. There you go.
So if you select the subtitles
head over to Styles in the Subtitles menu
and you can choose one of the amazing presets.
However, you can also change the font,
the sizing, color, background color, you can add effects
and you can even add a subtitle animation.
Feel free to play around with it
to find the style you prefer.
As you can see, we only changed a couple of things,
and it's already starting to look really decent,
but now let's add an audio visualizer.
To make this happen, we're gonna head back to Elements
and we're gonna scroll down until we can find Sound Waves.
Now you can choose one of the sound waves.
They're all pretty amazing.
In this case, I'm gonna go for this one,
so I'm gonna click on it.
Now, it's automatically added to the snippet
and as you can see, I can click and drag this.
I can resize it in the video canvas.
Now I want to change the color, let's say yellow.
And I'm gonna right click on this
and head over to Arrange and say Bring Backward
to add it behind the video.
So before we add a title text on the top,
I want to add a border behind my video.
So I'm gonna head back to Elements and head over to Shapes.
And in this case I'm gonna choose a shape
with rounded corners.
So I'm gonna select it.
Now I want to click and drag this
so that it's a little bit larger than the video itself.
I'm gonna right click on this,
head over to Arrange and click on Bring Backward.
I'm gonna make sure this is in proportion.
So there you go.
I'm gonna change the colors to yellow.
And there you go. Now, let's add a title text.
So I'm gonna head over to Text in the left menu,
and you can choose one of the presets.
In this case, I'm gonna choose Headline Title,
just a default style.
And then first thing I wanna do in the bottom timeline
I'm gonna drag this out
and I'm gonna drag the title text to the top.
And in the edit text menu on the left,
you can easily change the words, but you can also
change the font, the sizing, color, background color.
You can add an animation, effects, whatever you prefer.
Now, I'm really content with my snippet.
I just wanna add some details to spice it up a little bit.
So we're gonna head back to Elements again,
and we're gonna scroll down.
But just so you know, you can add emojis.
You can add progression bars.
You can add GIFs, animated stickers, whatever you prefer.
In this case, I'm gonna select this one,
and I'm gonna change the color to yellow again.
I'm gonna add two of these,
and I'm gonna place them in the bottom corners
to make it a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.
All right, so now I'm content with my snippet.
And as you can see on the left, under Elements,
under Brand Logos, you can also add logos if you like,
if you wanna plug your social media.
In this case, I'm already content.
I just wanna export my snippet.
So to make this happen, head over to the export button
in the right top corner,
choose your preferred render settings
and make sure burn subtitles is enabled.
And then click on Export Video.
And once the podcast snippet is rendered,
you can watch it back on the left.
Hey, lovely listeners, thank you so much for tuning in.
Now you can host your podcast snippet
on VEED and share them with your friends and family.
However, you can also separately download
your podcast snippet by heading over to the download button
clicking on the MP4 button
and then it should be in your downloads folder.
All right, so that's how you easily create podcast subtitles
and create astonishing snippets
from your podcast in just a few minutes.
All right, I hope this video was helpful.
Thank you so much for watching and good luck.
