Add Subtitles
To make your video clearer, subtitle it in another language, and in many other situations, you can add subtitles to your video! This is done from the video editing step.
You will find the button 'Add subtitles' in the top right corner of the navigation bar.
There are two options to create subtitles: from your script or from an audio transcript.
You can only preview your subtitles from the Subtitles Editor. You won't be able to preview them on the video editor.
Your subtitles will be generated alongside your LiLiCAST, and displayed on the final video.
Create subtitles from script
If want the text from your content cards to be displayed as subtitles, hit "Create from script", and LiLiCAST will return you a complete set of subtitles, perfectly synced with the audio.
Create subtitles from audio transcript
Audio transcript is the transformation of verbal and audio content into text. To generate your subtitles, click on "Create from audio transcript.". LiLiCAST will transcribe your audio in a complete set of subtitles in a single click.
Edit Subtitles
Once your subtitles are added, they will be displayed on the same page. You can edit them, download them, and add subtitles in a new language.
While LiLiCAST naturally synchronizes your audio and subtitles, you can still select the times when a chosen text is displayed.
Edit subtitles
