If you are still not sure how to do closed captioning, here is a quickstart guide on how to close caption a video with tips on quality, formatting, and synchronizing.
In the Amara Public Workspace, you can see all of the videos you have added. Click on the video that you want to work on and go to the video page. Then click the Add/Edit subtitles button to start subtitling videos.
Select the language for your subtitles and click the Add button to enter the Amara Editor.
The Amare Editor allows you to start working right away, typing along as the video plays.
There are several built-in editing tools like keyboard shortcuts and bulk edits that are available and free. The most common keyboard shortcuts are shown in the top left corner. Click on the more commands >> link to view the full list.
You can start, stop, control video speed, undo or redo edits and more in the free Amara Editor. Get to know Amara’s time-saving editing and syncing features. You don’t need to know these advanced features to start adding closed captioning to video, but they’re neat to check out for our more advanced subtitlers out there!
