Subtitles for Web Video
Hi,
I’m editing a video for the web consisting of an Italian man speaking English with a harsh accent, so I will need to add subtitles.
Is there an easier/faster way of creating subtitles than creating a new text slate for each sentence fragment? I don’t mind doing it that way, but who wouldn’t want an easier way? It’s so tedious
Thanks

Rob,
There’s a free plugin called “Edit B Subtitle” which works really well. I forget where I got it though, so do a Google.
Have a wonderful day.

Well, the Edit ‘B text plugin is just the start.
(Edit ‘B is my editing company, but the software is another department, called VideoToolShed)If you want to do a bit of serious subtitling, you need Subbits:
(the text plugin is part of the package)https://www.videotoolshed.com/?page=products&pID=12
If it is for the web, best to output XML and use H264 with the JW player. (Subbits can output the correct XML)
The JW player has a very simple implementation. For a preview on how subs can look:
