- Hello, everyone. My name is Tim.
And in this video, I'm gonna show you
how you can automatically add subtitles
to your TikTok videos.
Even though auto captioning is very nice on TikTok,
there are still a lot of limitations.
For instance,
when you can't use the feature in your own country,
like mine, which is the Netherlands.
Also, you don't have a lot of editing control
and there's also not a lot of creative freedom
for your subtitle designs.
Because of this, later in the video,
I'm gonna show you a second method
how you can auto caption your videos
and tackle these limitations.
All right, first,
I'm gonna show you how you can auto caption on TikTok.
First, open your TikTok app
and click on the plus icon on the bottom
to create a TikTok video.
In this case, we upload an existing video
from our video library.
Simply select your video and click on next.
Now we can edit our video.
To add auto captions,
click on the captions icon in the right menu.
Now TikTok automatically transcribes the audio to text
and turns them into subtitles.
- Feature might be coming back soon.
They are working on an opt in feature that-
- [Tim] Once that's done,
we're free to see and edit the captions
through the captions edit menu below.
To edit the words of your captions or subtitles,
click on the pen icon and easily tap on it
and change or correct them to your preference.
When you're satisfied with the changes,
click on save in the right top corner,
and click on the video
to go back to the normal editing page.
As you can see now,
the captions are added to your video
and you can tap and drag the subtitles
to reposition them the way you like.
And when you're finished,
click on the next button to publish your video
or put it in your drafts.
All right, now I'm gonna show you a second method
how you can easily auto caption your videos online
because on TikTok, in some countries,
it's not even available to use the auto caption tool,
like in my country, the Netherlands.
You don't have a lot of creative control.
You can not create beautiful designs.
So I'm gonna show you a method how you can do this
with VEED's online video editor.
All right, to get started,
head over to your browser
and type in the URL box edit.new
and click on enter.
You can also click on the first link in the description
and you'll be redirected to VEED's online video editor.
All right, now we're in VEED's editor
and we're prompted to import our video,
so we're gonna click on upload a file
and select the video you wanna add auto captions to.
In this case, it's (chuckles) TimTok.
We're gonna click on it and click on open.
After a moment, your video will be imported
and uploaded into VEED's online video editor.
All right, now the video is imported
and we can add auto captions.
So to make this happen,
head over to subtitles in the left menu,
and we can upload a subtitle file separately.
We can also add subtitles manually,
but for now, we're gonna auto subtitle, obviously.
So we're gonna click on that
and we're prompted to select
the language we speak in our video.
In this case, it's English,
so I'm gonna click on that.
It's already set.
And then we're gonna click on start.
Now this can take a moment
depending on the size of the video,
but now VEED will automatically transcribe the audio to text
and turn them into subtitles.
And as you can see, now the video has subtitles.
What's up, everyone? My name is Tim.
And in this video, I'm gonna show you
how you can auto caption your videos with TikTok.
And now we can easily edit our subtitles on the left.
For instance, I wanna change TikTok to one word
and I want to add I'm to this part of the subtitle
and I'm gonna remove it here.
You can edit the subtitles in the timeline menu below.
You can extend and shorten them
by simply dragging on the sides
and you can reposition them by dragging it from the middle.
Because we auto captioned the video,
the process is pretty much finalized already,
but just for your information,
you can also add new subtitles if you like.
You simply drag the play button
to a specific part of the video
and click on the button add subtitle,
or you simply go back to the text box that's in the left
and you can see a plus icon up here.
And if you click on that,
you can also add new subtitles.
And something else that's pretty cool,
you can use the split subtitle tool.
If you use the play head again
and go to a specific part of the video
and click on split subtitle,
it will split the subtitle,
ta-da, in two.
All right, now I wanna customize the design of my subtitles.
So to make this happen,
head over to styles in the subtitle menu
and you can change the font, the size,
the color, the background color, and much more.
And that's it. That's how easy it is.
So to export your video,
head over to the export button in the right top corner
and choose your preferred render settings.
For now, I'm gonna choose HD.
Make sure the burn subtitles option is enabled
because that's what makes the subtitles
burnt into the video naturally.
And then we're gonna click on export video.
And now once the video is rendered,
you can choose to share your video with your friends
and with your colleagues.
For instance, you can copy the link
and paste them everywhere on Facebook,
WhatsApp, Twitter, wherever you like,
so they can watch them on here.
You don't need to create an account for this,
they can instantly watch it.
Or you can simply download your video to your device
by clicking on the download button
and clicking on download MP4.
All right, and that's how you auto caption your videos
on TikTok and with VEED.
Thank you so much for watching.
Good luck and have nice day.
