Nowadays it is essential to take a barrier-free implementation of online videos into consideration, if you intend to distribute your videos professionally. This means that the subtitling for the deaf or hard of hearing, but also for viewers, who do not perfectly master the video language, is required. In addition to the spoken, subtitles help to transcribe audible elements (relevant ambient noise or events) of the video in a visually readable form, so that in this way, your viewers can follow a video content even without sound. This aspect is of great significance for mobile accessing of videos because the viewing of videos on the go is often without sound.
The VideoManager offers you the possibility to implement subtitles as closed caption in your videos, so that viewers can show or hide subtitles as needed.
You can add subtitles in the advanced editing area of uploaded videos. WEBVTT and SRT files are supported, which is a W3C standard.
Perform the following steps to add subtitles to a video:
- First, select from the video list the required video by clicking the corresponding entry.
Click the [Advanced Video Editing] button in the editing area. You will be forwarded to the appropriate area of VideoManager.
- Select the "Subtitles" entry in the navigation.
- Click on the button [Add subtitles] beneath the preview player.
Page break - A new subtitle entry is created, which you can edit now.
- Make the following settings:
- Title
- Description
- Select the subtitling target language from the drop down menu; this will be available in the player control.
- Then, specify the type of subtitle.
- Now upload the correct subtitle file by clicking on the appropriate button and select the WEBVTT file.
- For more subtitles in other languages, create a subtitle entry per language as described above.
- You will receive a preview of a subtitle in the video as follows: select the appropriate subtitle entry and start the video in the preview player.
