This is perfect for creators targeting international audiences or marketing teams looking to localize their ads.

How Can I Add Subtitles to Non English Videos?

To add subtitles to your non English videos, simply follow these steps:

• Upload Your Video: Use MP4 or MOV formats, up to 150MB in size.
• Select the Caption Language: Choose the language spoken in the video to improve transcription accuracy.
• Choose Your Subtitle Style: You can opt for Classic captions, which place animated text on top of your video, or the Composite mode that positions captions behind your subject, creating a more dynamic look.
• Download Your Video: Once processed, your video will be ready with perfectly synced subtitles.

For example, if you're a short-form creator making TikTok videos in Spanish, you can upload a 30-second clip, select Spanish as your caption language, and let our engine do the rest. The captions will be timed to the speech and visually appealing.

What Are the Benefits of Using Animated Subtitles?

Animated subtitles not only enhance engagement but also help convey your message clearly. With Sleepy Motion, you can create a visually captivating experience with dynamic captions that adapt to your video's pacing. The Composite mode is especially valuable as it places the subtitles behind the subject, ensuring they remain legible without obstructing important visuals.

Here’s a practical example: a 30-second ad for an online course in French. Using the Composite mode, your animated captions will appear seamlessly behind the instructor, adding depth and professionalism. This results in an engaging ad that audiences can easily follow.

Can I Customize the Subtitle Appearance?

Absolutely! Sleepy Motion offers various customization options:

• Positioning: Choose between Dynamic placement (automatically placed by the engine) or Fixed positioning (manually adjusted by you).
• Styles: Select from presets like Viral Insta for bold captions or Minimal for clean text that doesn't distract.
• Sound Effects: Enhance your video with auto-generated sound effects that sync with the captions, making your content even more engaging.
