How to add Subtitles to a Video (Free Capcut Alternative)

Introduction

If you’re a CapCut user, you might have noticed that many of their free features have been upgraded to Pro, including auto-captioning. In this article, we’ll introduce you to a free AI tool that allows you to generate video captions in any language for free. Let’s get started!

Introduction to Adobe Express

The tool we’re showcasing is called Adobe Express. It offers various features, including video captioning. Best of all, it’s free to use. No need for a credit card, and you don’t even have to sign in or sign up to use it. Simply go to the provided URL, and you’re good to go. For convenience, you can visit adelics.com/caption which redirects you to the Adobe Express video captioning tool.

Alternatively, you can go to adobe.com/Express, and click on "Caption Video" under the AI category. You will land on the right page regardless of the route you choose to take.

Uploading & Setting Up Your Video

Once on the page, you will see an area on the left side where you can drag and drop your video or upload it from your device. The video can be up to 1GB in size and 5 minutes in duration. On the right side, you can select the native language of the video, such as English, French, German, among others.

After selecting the language (e.g., English UK), proceed by uploading your video. It will analyze the video to generate captions corresponding to the audio.

Why Add Captions?

Captions offer a plethora of benefits, such as:

Accessibility: They make content more accessible to people with hearing impairments.
User Engagement: Statistics show that 85% of Facebook videos are played without sound. Captions allow users to follow the content in sound-restricted environments.
Learning Aid: 52% of students found captions helpful in improving comprehension.
Non-native Speakers: Captions assist non-native speakers in understanding the content more effectively.
Inclusivity: Including captions ensures your content is inclusive of all audience demographics.

Editing Your Captions

Once the tool has finished generating captions, you can edit them. The accuracy is generally high, usually around 98%. However, depending on your accent and audio clarity, minor tweaks might be necessary. You can customize the caption styles and positions, opting for basic styles, blocks, bubbly, and more. You can even select or customize colors according to your preference.

Final Touches and Download

To download the captioned video, you need to click on "Open in Adobe Express," which takes you to an editor. This might seem like a marketing strategy on Adobe’s part to get you acquainted with their editor, but it’s fairly straightforward to use. In the editor, you can also add background music or translate the captions into different languages. Once everything looks good, click on the download button, select the MP4 format, and save your video.

You can do all of this on your mobile device as well, thanks to the Adobe Express app available on both Play Store and App Store.

Adding captions to your videos significantly enhances their accessibility and engagement. With tools like Adobe Express, you can do this easily and for free. Don’t forget to subscribe to more AI-related updates and tutorials by joining the AI Tribe at adelicsam.com/ai-tribe.
