You might be tempted to post your Facebook video without subtitles at all. After all, adding subtitles is an extra step. However, your video will get far more views when it has accurate and readable subtitles.
So, why not begin adding subtitles for Facebook video posts? Doing so is easier than you think. We will walk through the whole process step, by step, so you can start adding subtitles to your own Facebook videos.
1.) Create your title. You want a title that is clear and engaging and makes people want to watch. This title needs to be short, sweet, and to the point! (You also want to include keywords that you want to be known for.) Feel free to brainstorm a few headline ideas on paper before you choose one.
2.) Fill out the full description of the video. This gives people a broader idea of what to expect from your video content. The description is also a good place to put links to any outside resources, such as a blog post that you wrote about the same topic. Use questions, action words, and teasers to engage people and make them want to watch your Facebook video.
4.) Add a custom thumbnail. You might want to select a frame from the video itself or create a separate image, depending on the content of the video. The best thumbnails will let people instantly know why they should watch this video.
You are ready to get started on the actual subtitles for Facebook videos! (You might also want to consider adding polls or tracking depending on the goals for the video, but these items are less universal.)
You may often not have this available. And you may find it is more work if you are trying to match it to speech. If you have an image-only video, however, and want to add the subtitles for extra explanation, this may work well for you. This may also be a good option for a very long video if a transcript has been made for other reasons.
By far, my favorite option for most videos is to autogenerate the captions for your Facebook video. However, never rely solely on the auto tool. Audio recognition technology is still an evolving technology. The last thing you want is to publish an error to the world. To prevent this, always listen to and edit your audio.
If you want to keep the subtitles that you just created, you will have to either embed the video or share a direct link to the video itself. Make sure to click on the post, so you get the link to the video specifically. If you are using the link, you can schedule it using a tool like Agorapulse just like you would any other link.
This lesson introduces Captioning Basics and the Amara Universal Subtitle Web-based Captioning process. To enhance the learning process, a total of almost thirty minutes of original demonstration videos are included in this lesson.
A transcript is a text version of all of the important audio information. It includes the spoken word, conversation, and other sounds that influence the content or the context of the audio. Multiple speakers are identified in the transcript.
Captions are appropriately sized chunks of text displayed on or below the video in unison with the audio. Someone unable to access the sound for any reason would be able to read the audio equivalent as text, at the same time it would be heard. Captions are usually provided in the same language as the audio. Captions facilitate the deaf, the hearing impaired, and those unable to access the audio for any reason.
Subtitles, like captions, are synchronous text-based replacements for the audio content. Unlike captions, subtitles need not include audio information other than the spoken word. Subtitles are generally in a language different from the audio. Subtitles facilitate language accessibility.
Open captions are imbedded in the video and are visible all the time. Open captions cannot be turned off. Although open captions are occasionally the only accessible solution, they are generally not the solution of choice.
Closed captions can be turned on and off by the viewer. Closed caption files work with the video file, but are not part of the video itself. A player control allows captions to be toggled on and off. Because the user can control closed captions, they are always the preferred accessibility solution.
Amara Universal Subtitles is a world-wide, well-supported and easy-to-use Web-based captioning tool. Universal Subtitles works with a variety of Web-based video sites such as YouTube and Vimeo. It is an excellent tool for captioning online videos that you did not create, but would like to use in your course.
**Remember that you should always request permission from the video creator before captioning videos. This is a copyright concern. When you use any of the Web-based captioning tools, you are reminded, and asked to confirm that you have rights to the content, or permission from the owner. Contact information can be found by following links adjacent to the video to the creators contact information and/or video channel.
Sometimes you will need to save your project and come back to it later. This instructional video steps you through the process of logging in to your account , locating your video, and returning to work on it.
In this step, Universal Subtitles will play four seconds of the video and automatically stop. Four seconds is a good amount of audio to work with at a time, especially for beginners. Use the TAB key to start and stop your video. You will find that using the Tab key will be a very efficient method. You can conveniently use your left little finger to control the video as you type, and your right little finger to click ENTER, and add the next caption text box.
Each text box will become a caption when we SYNC the text to the multimedia in STEP TWO. Captions can be three lines, two lines, or one line. If you have a lot of text on the screen in your video, you will want to consider two lines, or even one line of text per caption. Beginners should start with two or three lines of text per caption. Think about logical places for new captions to begin. You may move to the next text box at the end of a sentence, at a comma, or maybe even where the speaker pauses momentarily to take a breath. Aim for less than thirty two characters per line. Thirty two characters include spaces and punctuation. That is the length per line limit for many DVD format captions. Don't worry; you don't need to count each character. Once you begin to be aware of logical breaks, it will be very easy to decide when to tap the ENTER key.
The video starts automatically when you open this step, so you will probably want to click the Go Back 4 Seconds button on in the Universal Subtitles interface several times to go back to the start of the video. Then click the Play button on the video control bar to pause the video at the beginning until you are ready to start the SYNC process.
This step is like learning to ride a bike. It will take a few tries to get the rhythm, and then it will be very easy. Remember that you don't have to worry about being perfect. In this step, you want to make sure that each caption is synced with the video. You can adjust for accuracy in STEP THREE.
After you have typed and synced your captions, you will likely want to make some adjustments to your content layout. This video steps you through the process of adjusting the content in your captions with ease.
When your project is complete, save the video, and download a finished caption and transcript file. The transcript format offering is a new and very useful tool. This video steps you through the final important steps of a Universal Subtitles Captioning project.
Once your video is done rendering, you can access a unique URL for the video. Simply open your video in Canvas, hover over the CC icon in the video controls and select Upload subtitles.
This launches a window called Create/Add Subtitles. Ignore Steps 1 and 2 in this window. In Step 3, select the language of the captions or subtitles in the Language drop-down list.
We compiled some simple subtitling guidelines to help Amara users create quality subtitles. From practical standards to human-centered focus, we are sharing these few simple steps to help people create subtitles that help audiences enjoy the content that they love.
Our community at Amara spans many different cultures, but we all have a common mission: to make content accessible to greater audiences. By transcribing and translating subtitles, you are connecting people to information they might not have had before.
I have subtitled the video Future of food: Farming in the age of climate change, in Croatian.
Is it visible to you?
In a format that I have opened, timestamps are already given in original so I followed it,
but in the editor there is no option to complete it. Is it as it should be?
Probably, not, because now I have got mail that asks me to complete it:
Please, can you give step by step procedure where and how to do it.
Thank you.

As you can see here:
1) When there is only one line of subtitles: General and Dialogue. It can be seen that two subtitles doesn't match with each other. After checking I found that for General subtitles, one-line subtitles will be put on Subtitle Line 2; while for Dialogue, it will be put on Subtitle Line 1. So when entering or exiting conversation, one-line subtitles will jump from one position to another.
2) When there is two lines of subtitles: General and Dialogue. Oddly the problem does not happen with two-line subtitles, both start from Subtitle Line 1 and their positions are matched with each other.
