welcome to this first tutorial video
teaching how to use the free and open
source software Aegis sub to add
subtitles to a custom video that you
have or maybe a movie that you've
downloaded so this is a great free
software it works on Windows Linux and
Mac and in this video I'll show you how
to import a video or get your video in
here and start adding some subtitles to
a video that does not yet have subtitles
in future videos we'll also look at
timing existing subtitles so if you
already have a transcript and you want
to time those to a video we'll show how
to do that it's a great software for
creating subtitles in a different
language so maybe a video that's in
Chinese and it doesn't yet have English
subtitles this would be a great software
for adding English subtitles and timing
them to that video you can also use it
for your YouTube videos but I will say
that YouTube does have a really good
subtitling algorithm software that they
will that you can use on your on your
videos to automatically detect what
you're saying in the video and add
subtitles so if you're just you wanting
to use software like this for your
YouTube videos you might just want to
look into what they have because it it's
probably little bit easier to use the
YouTube interface than this software but
what this software HSM does give you is
great control a much greater control
over those subtitles over the styling
and how they appear and whatnot so to
get started in this in this actual video
we're going to just open up a video to
add subtitles to so I have a video here
on my computer it's like a life history
life sketch interview and it does not
yet have subtitles and so when we open
up the video we have two things I think
by default you may have this view we
click this button here to toggle between
how we view the audio file and then over
on the left hand side is the actual
video and we have a couple different
play heads we can play down here and
play the video we can also play over
here and play just the audio portion
without the video
women every day down here at the bottom
is where the subtitles are we have a
start and end so the subtitle actually
appears on the screen so aside if I just
type in test right here we see we have
this test will appear from 0 to 5
seconds and it's actually there it's
really small you can hardly see it so to
change the size we'll just click on edit
and we can change this to maybe 200 and
go apply then we see that test appears
maybe 100 is a good size for this
particular video and so we'll hit OK
so now test will appear but it'll only
be there for the first 5 seconds of the
video and after that 5 seconds it will
go away what we can do so if we don't
want this test to be here we can right
click and go delete lines and I actually
have some of this video already a
transcript that I've already kind of
typed up the first 30 seconds or so of
the video I can highlight this whole
thing and go to right-click go to copy
and then I can come down here and go to
right click and go to paste lines I can
also do control C and control V on my
keyboard to do that but now I have all
these lines for this video it shows it
at 0-0 so this first line here is what
she's saying but it's not appearing yet
because we need to time it with the
video to do that we see this vertical
line here we have a blue line we have
some purple lines that we don't need to
pay attention to right now but the if we
right-click with our mouse we can move
this blue line there's also a red line
it's kind of hard to see it's at 0-0 but
if we left click it'll move the red line
so left clicking on the mouse is the red
right clicking is the blue and it sort
of creates a little green shaded area of
that part that's selected so what we
want to try and do is line up these
words the first line is we went swimming
every day so we want to find that it's
probably this first part here so if we
left click and get our red line selected
and then we right-click we can listen to
what's being said here by just clicking
play so perfect we may be cut off a
little bit so that's the part that says
we went swimming every day and we have
it selected
so to actually change this here we can't
really click down here and change what
we want to do is click this checkbox
commit any pending audio timing changes
so this is like what we've kind of told
it that we're thinking we want this line
to be we went swimming every day if we
click this checkbox now all of a sudden
that changes the timing so from point
three seconds two one point eight two
seconds it's going to display we went
swimming every day on the video and then
it disappears so the next part we'll
just click on this next line and we see
it appears in here so if we wanted to
add any text we can do that right here
and it will show down here it will also
show on the video actually a better way
to show you that would be to go back to
this first line so if we click on the
first line we went swimming every day
and we add in some text here it'll
actually appear on this video that's a
little bit too much so each line we can
edit individually we can add lines we
can right click and go to insert line
after and we can have a new line and
type in you know some more text but here
we get this kind of red because these
are kind of overlapping so what it's
saying is this is going to want to be
the new part so we need to find this
next part we walk down to the swimming
hole and go swimming so we need to find
that part of the audio so I started
about right here is where she started
saying we'd like we we would have and
then maybe it ended here I'm not quite
sure we'd walk down to the swimming here
so I was about right there so we have
this and so we can now commit this to
change this time we click this green
check checkmark and now it commits that
change so now it's going to if we can
watch what this looks like from the
beginning problem that test test needs
to go away so I'll right-click on that
line and go to delete lines just that
it'll delete just that line that was
causing us some trouble
we went swimming every day we walk down
this ravine so there you have it and
then we can we can time every line so we
can go to the next line do the same
thing but just remember left-click will
create the red that red line which is
where the text will start to be
displayed on the video right click will
create the blue line which is where the
text will stop being and to commit that
change we just click this green
checkmark I'm not gonna go any further
in this video but check out the next one
we'll learn about styling and changing
the text and manipulating it we can move
it around do all kinds of different
things so check out the next tutorial
for that we'll see in the next one
