When looking for an automatic subtitle app, it's not only about accuracy, but also about whether it's easy to fix later. Automatic video transcription is convenient, but in actual work, how to arrange delimiters and proper nouns affects the time more than each word.
In this article, using CapCut's automatic subtitle app , we will organize the basic flow of automatic subtitle generation, how to minimize modifications, and confirmation points to keep before publishing in Japanese.
Decide before using the automatic captioning app
Before opening the automatic subtitles app, there are three things you want to decide: language settings, purpose of subtitles, and publishing destination. Depending on whether you want to increase viewing retention, support silent viewing, or take a transcription, the amount of subtitles that should be left later will also change.
If you decide the purpose first, you can make minimal modifications after generation. Especially for short SNS, it is easier to see if it is shorter and easier to read than to completely reproduce each word.
For example, whether you want to record the conversation as it is or make it easier to read for silent viewing, the same automatic subtitles will have different points to watch. Just deciding on the application at the beginning makes it fairly clear how far it should be fixed after generation.
CapCut Basic Steps to Transcribe Videos
CapCut, first load the material, determine the language you are speaking and the purpose of subtitles, and proceed to automatic generation. CapCut The auto subtitle app first grabs the flow once and then iterates considerably faster afterwards.
Actually, the impression of accuracy changes considerably just by the first setting. For videos with mixed languages or many technical terms, it is easier to reduce the number of times to start over by trying once in a short section and then expanding it to the whole.
- STEP 1
- Load the video and align the speaker and language assumptions. STEP 2
- Generate automatic subtitles and check only the entire break first. STEP 3
- Subtitles that are too long are cut short, and unnecessary silence parts are cut off. STEP 4
- Finally, correct the erroneous conversion and display timing lightly to complete the finished form.
Adjustment points to improve the accuracy of automatic subtitle generation
The most effective adjustment for automatic subtitle generation is not to correct the full text one character at a time, but to see only the mountain of breaks and misconversions. If you fix the long curtain that is difficult to read, the deviation of proper nouns, and the ending of words first, the accuracy of the experience will increase considerably.
If you want to verify content on a transcription basis, the CapCut video to text conversion route is also helpful. Separating subtitle display and transcription usage makes it easier to determine what needs to be fixed exactly.
Since it is difficult to read the full text as long as the video is long, it is efficient to focus on three places: the beginning, the scene where the proper noun comes out, and the scene where the topic changes. Assuming that you pick up only the parts you care about, the confirmation work of transcription becomes considerably lighter.
- Separate : Divide hard-to-read long sentences short.
- Proper nouns : Person name, product name, place name only check first.
- Silence : Reduce unnecessary pauses and breathing to reduce display.
Checks to be done before finishing and publishing
In the final confirmation before publication, it is better to see "whether it can be read" rather than accuracy itself. Whether the display is too fast, whether it overlaps with the UI at the bottom of the screen, and whether the important sentence at the beginning is not cut off, the visibility is stabilized.
Easy-to-read subtitles are determined by the arrangement that can be read from 100 points of accuracy. Especially for short pages, the impression can change considerably just by not having one line too long and not overlapping with the UI below the screen. At the end, it is easier to proceed by checking whether it is "easy to read" rather than "correct."
If you want to dig deeper into subtitle design and more automated creation, tips on creating subtitles automatically and how to add subtitles in CapCut can also be helpful as complements.
- STEP 1
- Check if you can read important subtitles in the first 3 seconds. STEP 2
- Check if the display position overlaps with the face, product, or UI. STEP 3
- Only proper nouns that are likely to be misconverted are reconfirmed at the end.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are automatic subtitles sufficient or do you need manual corrections?
It is sufficient as a basic starting point, but it is easier to read if only proper nouns and separators are lightly corrected manually. Rather than fixing the full text in detail, it is recommended to take only noticeable deviations first.
Is the view different for transcription and subtitles?
Yes. Prioritize readability for subtitles and accuracy of words for transcription. Separating purposes makes it easier to organize where you should spend your time.
Is it better to include automatic subtitles even in short videos?
This is especially useful in situations where there is a lot of silent viewing. Rather than the full text, it helps to maintain viewing even in the form of short put only the main points.
With automatic subtitles, it is more realistic to create a draft first and then arrange only the large gaps rather than seeking perfect transcription from the beginning. If you get used to the flow of creating with a purpose and seeing only the separator and proper noun, the burden of subtitling will be considerably lighter.
