If you want to use translated lower-third text in your next Filmora project
Stick around, I'll show you how!
I have no idea what that says so that says
So this is actually a fairly easy thing to do and it's a workaround for people who don't
have every type of keyboard and font already installed into their system
and we're gonna do it by using Google Translate but I'm gonna show you a few
tips here now some of you might have used this just to get direct
translations from something that was said into another language but what you
might not be aware of is if you're using the translate tool directly from the
link in YouTube it gives you a few more options now as you can see in the lower
right there's a drop-down and you can actually change the typing options
including your keyboard itself if I were to try to type in German I could open up
that keyboard and it would give me an actual German keyboard layout with
things like umlauts, punctuation over those letters that my keyboard doesn't
have and all I have to do is align what I'm seeing in front of me with the keys
that are actually on my keyboard pretty straightforward so if there's another
language that you naturally speak and don't have the tools to actually type
those things out you can actually type them using this keyboard feature into
Google Translate and I'll show you how to bring those into Filmore but let me
show you one other thing now let's say I was typing in English I want something
to eat, but I wanted that to be in Spanish... I would just have to click
Spanish or use the drop-down menu to find some of these other languages that
you might want to use in your project you can also use the search function
let's try our do now this is a language it doesn't type left-to-right the way
English does it actually types in Reverse if you watch to the right do you
see how that forms out it moves in the opposite direction but once you have the
language you want to use all you have to do is down below do you see this double
piece of paper that copy image just click on that and then in your film or
project click on titles in the upper left pick whatever title you'd like to
use in this case I'm gonna use a lower third I'll use lower third three bring
that down into your timeline into a track above the one you're working on
double left-click on that track in your timeline
and it opens up the text features so you can change that text if you left click
halt and highlight the title here section you can back that out so that
it's empty right click and hit paste and now you'll notice your translated text
shows up on your screen that's pretty cool huh here's another little trick you
see there's that little orange bar that came with this particular lower-third
preset if you click on advanced and you click down you can see there's two
pieces here's the text and here's that orange bar I'm gonna click on that and
up above I'll click the trash can to delete it in a way it goes I click okay
and now it's gone now you're gonna find some of these fonts may not be the
perfect text for the type of language you're dropping in
I found that Arial tends to be the one that works it's a fairly universal font
so Arial up top and you can see that change to something that makes a little
more sense here's another example in this case if I
type my name is Daniel in English in German it'll give me that sharp ass
right so I get a high so Danya and then I can just copy that I can bring that
back over into my film or project and then I just paste in that particular
German translation lower third and there I have that sharp s and I can still
adjust the font size and do everything else that I would normally do but it's
an easy way to get those lower thirds and text graphics if you're trying to
work in another language other than English now there are other ways to do
things like translate closed captions and put those in your videos as well if
that's something you're interested in let me know down below or if you have
any questions about this particular feature and how to make it work for you
let me know down below in the comments and I'll be sure to answer your
questions I hope that was helpful and be sure to check out this video right here
