Is there a way to automatically add subtitles to your videos?

faq-icon

Yes, with PlayPlay, you can easily create auto subtitles to your videos. Automatic subtitling uses speech-to-text functionality to automatically transcribe any speech in a video and turn it into time coded subtitles. With PlayPlay you simply have to choose the "Quotes & Subtitles" screen and then add the media you wish to add subtitles to. Click on "automatic subtitles" and select the language you wish to use. In just a few minutes, your video will have full subtitles. Additionally, you’ll be able to edit your subtitles and change timestamps directly on the platform as you wish.


Can you translate subtitles automatically with AI ?

faq-icon

In addition to supporting automatic subtitling, PlayPlay offers automatic subtitling translation for most popular languages. When adding automatic subtitles, you will be given the opportunity to select the language you’d like to use. Once selected, your video’s subtitles will be automatically translated to your preferred language. It’s that simple!


How can you synchronize audio with subtitles?

faq-icon

If you use automatic subtitles on PlayPlay then most of the work will be done for you. However, you’ll still have the option to make tweaks to the timings yourself once the automatic subtitles are loaded. Additionally, you’ll be able to adjust the timings on manual subtitles too by selecting the ‘time coding’ option in the subtitle’s edit menu. This will allow you to control when subtitles are displayed to help you synchronize your audio with subtitles.


What is the difference between subtitles and closed captions?

faq-icon

Subtitles are used for transcribing speech. This means displaying the characters’ dialogue on the screen as they speak. Subtitles can also be used to translate that speech into other languages.

Closed captions also describe the soundscape using words. A good way to illustrate the difference would be a scene in which music is playing. Closed captions would indicate something, such as “[Music playing]”, whereas subtitles would not.

    It was often difficult… outsourcing video production makes the process more lengthy and not all creative decisions were under our control. With PlayPlay, we are much more intentional about planning and creating new visual content.

    I love how fast it is to create videos with PlayPlay. Before, it would take weeks from the creative brief to the delivery of the video by the agency. Now it’s just a matter of hours and the videos look just as good!
