Subtitles

Learn how to edit subtitles, play them in multiple languages, or burn them into the video.

1. Adjustment of subtitles

Click on Video within the StoryBox Cloud to go to the appropriate section

Select the video whose subtitles you want to edit.

Click on the burger menu below the preview image (three dots below each other) and select Subtitles. Or click on the video and select Subtitles to the right of the video. 

StoryBox automatically detects which language is spoken in the video and creates subtitles accordingly. If you want to adjust them, it is recommended to correct the subtitles of the original language in the first step. All other languages in which subtitles are added use this script as a basis.

For the customizations, please watch our video above, everything is explained there in detail.

The subtitle can be selected on the StoryBox landing page of the video via the CC button at the bottom left of the video (but here without the design elements that you have set, but only with a standardized design of our player, as every online player has it).

2. Translate subtitles

Once the basis for the subtitles has been created, you can also translate them into other languages.

Select the desired language and click on Translate. 

StoryBox generates a translation based on the selected script.

You can of course check and adapt the translated subtitle again. The different languages are displayed at the top left of the page, where you can choose between the languages and even download and upload the transcript as a .vtt file (e.g. to forward this transcript to colleagues to check the language and correctness).

Afterwards, all subtitles are available on the StoryBox landing page of the video under CC. Or you can simply render/export a video in each language using the button at the top right, so that you have individual videos with subtitles burned in (in your design).

3. Burn in subtitles

If you want the subtitle to be fixed in the video instead of being freely selectable, you can burn the subtitle of the desired language directly into the video.

To do this, select the desired language and then click on Export Video.

You can recognize the video with the burnt-in subtitles directly by the language abbreviation in front of the video name.

The representation in the video is as follows:
