What's up, guys? Alec here with VEED.
And today, I'm going to be showing you how to add and edit multiple subtitle tracks for your videos.
Let's say you want to upload a video to YouTube and Facebook
and you want to give your viewers the chance to turn off
and on closed captions or even add subtitles in another language.
So you can reach more viewers around the world.
I'm going to show you how to automatically add subtitles
to your videos and easily translate them within seconds.
That being said, let's get started.
So the tool we're going to be using is called VEED.
So we're going to head over to VEED.IO
Once you're on VEED.IO, you just want to open up a New Project.
Once you've created a new project,
you just need to upload your video that you want to add subtitles to.
Once you've selected your video, you click on Open at the bottom and then your video is imported into these Project Editor.
As you can see the progress of the upload is right here in the top right corner.
So first of all, we can change the canvas size if we need to because we're uploading it in social media. For example,
if you're uploading it to Facebook, you might want it to
be square so you can easily do that.
And then just quickly reshape your video for it to fit.
But I'm going to leave it as the original because we're going to be uploading it to YouTube as well.
So the first thing you want to do is just head over to the left sidebar here and you have the subtitles tool.
And the best thing about VEED is that you can automatically subtitle your videos.
So if I just click on Auto Subtitles,
select the language that I'm talking in and then just click on Start.
So before I do, I'm just going to show you that I'm talking in English.
Now if I click on Start,
VEED is then going to automatically transcribe all the audio from my video into text
and turn that text into subtitles and place them at the right times throughout the video.
So now, if we take a look at the bottom in my timeline,
or we can actually see each subtitle that's going to be displayed on screen.
So I put the video back to the beginning and I just click on play.
As you can see the subtitles are playing at the bottom of the screen.
Now first of all, before we do anything, because we're trying to create multiple subtitle tracks,
We're not actually going to be downloading the video at the end.
What we're going to be doing is actually downloading the SRT file for each video.
So we're not going to be paying attention to styling the subtitles.
It doesn't actually matter how they look on our video right now.
Because we're just going to be uploading them as SRT files to YouTube and Facebook.
So you might have noticed, if I play this subtitle back right here,
it says "Welcome to our new podcast..",
although I wanted it to say "Welcome to my new podcast." I slur the word "our" a little bit.
So they don't pick up on it.
So I'm just going to quickly click on that and then change it and as easy as that, I've now changed it to "Welcome to my new podcast."
Now, translating your subtitles.
Once you have your first set of subtitles in English or your native language finished,
you're not going to make any more changes to them.
You can now translate them.
So to do this, what we're going to be doing is clicking on this button right here
and then add a subtitle track.
Now I'm going to select the language I want to translate them into and I'm going to choose French
and we are then going to translate them from the original default language.
So from English, so this is already automatically selected.
But you can either add a blank subtitle track or upload an SRT file that you already have
and that's how you start making changes and edit the one you already have.
So we're just going to do that and click on the plus button.
Now if I click on edit in French,
as we can see the subtitles right here have translated into French.
So if I play it back in French.
As you can see it's been translated correctly.
Now if we have a look, I've got "Bienvenue sur mon", which is "Welcome to my."
That's why you need to make sure that you've corrected your original subtitle track first.
Because once you've translated it, it's not going to automatically pick up on the changes that you make to each track.
So for an example, if I realized I made a few mistakes in English
and they are definitely going to be wrong in French,
I can then go back to my track delete the whole track
and what I would do is then make again the changes to my English track
and then again just add a new track, select the language.
This time we'll do Spanish.
Click on Add and then if I try and edit it in Spanish.
There we go, my subtitles are now in Spanish and you can add as many tracks as you need.
Here, I'm just going to, this time we'll add French again.
Translate from original and then at...
So now because we're going to be uploading these subtitles
to Facebook and YouTube as SRT files,
we're not going to be hitting the download button up here.
We're actually going to be again, clicking on the subtitles language button
and we're just going to basically download all tracks.
And what this is going to do is then VEED is going to download all our SRT files.
So we've got the default one which is an English.
Then the French subtitles and then the Spanish subtitles.
And when you're basically uploading your subtitles to YouTube or Facebook,
this is how you can upload and edit multiple subtitle tracks.
Now, if you are looking for subtitles to be hard code them onto videos for an example,
you can go ahead and style them. if I just click the download button right now,
the video is going to be rendered with my French Subtitles.
I can then go back to the exact same video for Spanish and then download it again.
This is if you have multiple channels in multiple languages for an example.
But that is how you add and edit multiple subtitle tracks in different languages for your videos.
