Uploading subtitles to your video

For those catering to an international audience or producing multilingual content, subtitles are an essential tool for accessibility. The player can allow viewers to toggle them on or off within the player, and you can control whether they are enabled by default. When available, the player will automatically display subtitles in the viewer's preferred language, as determined by their browser settings.

To add subtitles to a video, select the video you wish to edit, navigate to the subtitles section, and click on Start Transcription. This feature begins transcription based on your workspace's primary language. If the video is in a different language, you can select it from the dropdown menu.

If you already have a subtitle file, you can upload it by clicking on the three dots in the subtitles section, selecting Upload Transcription, and specifying the subtitle language. Once uploaded, the file will appear in the list on the same page, where you can edit the subtitles or translate them into another language using the translation interface.

Supported subtitle formats include SubRip (.srt) and SubViewer (.sub). These files can be created using third-party tools like Amara or Jubler, or provided by your video producer.
