Auto Subtitle Generator - Add Subtitles to Videos FAST with Kapwing

Introduction

In the ever-evolving world of video editing, Kapwing has recently introduced a feature called Magic Subtitles. This function simplifies the subtitling process, allowing users to easily auto-transcribe subtitles with exceptional timing accuracy and customizable styles. In this article, we will walk you through how to utilize Magic Subtitles, ensuring you can enhance your video content effortlessly.

Getting Started with Magic Subtitles

To begin, navigate to kapwing.com and sign into your account. Create a new project by uploading your desired footage. Once your video is uploaded, select the Subtitles tab on the left panel. Here, you will discover the new Magic Subtitles option.

For those who prefer the original subtitling style, fear not! Kapwing has retained the old subtitling workflow. Simply click on Subtitles and navigate to the Manual tab. This option allows you to auto-generate subtitles or add them manually, just like before.

Editing with Magic Subtitles

In the Magic Subtitles tab, you can choose to make edits before or after generating subtitles. For this guide, let's proceed by clicking Generate Subtitles. Select the appropriate spoken language, the subtitle's language, and the number of speakers in the video. After clicking Generate Subtitles, the transcriptions will appear above the video and in written form.

Customizing Subtitles

Editing the text, including adding punctuation or capitalizing letters, is user-friendly. You can manually change the text or use the automatic capitalization feature provided. If there are certain words you want to remove, the delete word option allows you to do so easily. You can restore deleted words or even delete entire phrases by selecting them.

Styling Subtitles

Subtitles can also be visually customized using the Transform Tool. If there are too many words on the screen, you can adjust the size of the subtitle text box simply by dragging it to make it smaller. This feature allows for appealing word-by-word subtitling.

You can also add new subtitle lines by selecting a word within a sentence, allowing for more control over how your subtitles are displayed. Keep in mind that Magic Subtitles are directly connected to the video, making them easier to edit in context.

Additional Features

A key point to remember is that Magic Subtitles must be added to each individual clip within your project. For example, if you add a second clip, you will repeat the subtitle generation process for that clip.

Styling is customizable as well: you can choose fonts, sizes, colors, and backgrounds. Adjusting the size of the subtitle will affect how many words fit on the screen, and you can change styles according to your preference.

Once you have finished editing and customizing your subtitles, click the Export Project button to process and generate the final video, complete with your subtitles beautifully layered on top.

Conclusion

Magic Subtitles from Kapwing revolutionize the subtitling process, making it more user-friendly, fast, and efficient for modern creators. As this feature continues to evolve, users can expect even greater functionality and ease of use.
