Create Captions with SubTitle-Horse

Introduction

Creating captions or subtitles for your videos has never been easier, thanks to Subtitle Horse, a versatile website that allows users to add text to various video formats such as Flash, YouTube, and MP4 files. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating captions step-by-step.

Getting Started

To begin captioning your video, you'll first need the URL of the video you wish to subtitle. Here’s how you can obtain it:

1. Go to your video platform (e.g., YouTube).
2. Click the share button under the video, which will display the video's URL.
3. Right-click the URL and select "Copy" from the menu.

Next, navigate to the Subtitle Horse website and paste the copied URL in the designated field.

Exploring the Interface

Once you've submitted the video URL, Subtitle Horse presents an intuitive interface. The video playback area is located on the right, while the list of command options is displayed below. To create captions, you can use several keyboard commands, with Control + O being particularly useful.

Creating Captions

As the video plays, you’ll want to create captions at the appropriate times. Here’s how to do that:

1. With audio starting in your video, click the "Add at Current Time" button to bring up the caption box.
2. The left side of the box indicates timing, allowing you to adjust it manually with the arrows. On the right side, there is an area to type your caption.
3. Press the play button to listen to the video. When you hear something that needs a caption, pause the video and enter the text into the caption box.

For example, if you hear a description of electronic devices, you can type what you understood, such as "(device reads)."

Continue listening, pausing as necessary, and inputting text into the caption box.

Testing and Finalizing Captions

After entering captions, you can drag the playhead back to review your work and ensure accuracy. Repeat this process to add more captions as needed.

Saving Your Captions

Once you've finished adding all the captions, it’s time to save your work:

1. Click on the "File" menu in Subtitle Horse.
2. Select "Export" to open the options for file format.
3. By default, it may be set to VTT; you can change this to SRT or another format that suits your needs.
4. Click "Download" to save the subtitles, which will be stored in your downloads folder.

If you have existing online videos without captions, Subtitle Horse provides an effective way for you to add them yourself. Ensure you have a hosting site ready where you can upload the caption content. Happy captioning!
