I'm using the magic subtitles now and they are excellent but there is one flaw that needs to be fixed. I had to edit some of the text and it just shows it for a second before disappearing. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to keep it showing for longer. You need to be able to manually change the time that the subtitle is shown.

This is an UNBELIEVABLE tool, I am so happy I found it. Total game changer.

At 0:08 of this video you show subtitles where the color of the words change as you pronounce them ; it is a great effect and help follow what it is said in the video without giving the impression that we are reading. I see many creators use this kind of effect on Youtube Shorts/etc.

how do i hightlight someof the text
or ensure that the words are highlighted as as they are being said ?

[Lacooquette]

While the idea behind the Magic Subtitler is genius, this tool seems a little too half-baked for me. For instance, there is no way for the screen to be clear of subtitles when nothing is being said. That's a basic necessity when subtitling, since very few videos will require wall-to-wall subtitles throughout. Hope you guys can fix this, because the overall idea is pretty neat.

omg, yesss, this is what I needed in my life, thank you

[tikunolamisaaclev]

my kapwing page doesnt look so upgraded.... why is that?

[WolfofYoungStreetPod]

Hey Kapwing, I noticed that when I speed up my audio, the subtitle does not sync up. Is there a way to ensure the words being said match the subtitle?

[Twistedtale]

Can we use different colors or fonts for subtitles for some part of story and another color and font for another part of story

[simonecomedy]

Hi! When I click on “Generate subtitles” I do not have the option to select the number of speakers in the video. Has that option been removed?

[crazyforcanada]

I have a video in Kapwing right this minute and I cannot find any way to EDIT the auto-generated subtitles which are loaded with errors. No white screen with text pops up. Ideally, the pink blips indicating subtitled segments should be able to pop up so you can edit them as the audio speaks.

[SDWDC]

Used this new version for the first time today. Using the Magic feature, I can't download the subtitles into an .srt or .vtt file. It just comes up blank. How to make this happen? Or do I have to revert to Classic to make it work? I had a video I needed to change one slide graphic ans wanted to use the same subtitles. NO such luck. of time spent recreating them.

[letmefinish]

I had to correct some words but when I click Export as mp4 it didnt dowload the video with corrections. I have to save it with errors. What should i do to fix it ? I clicked on fix overlapping subtitles Help!

[sergiomartinezjover]

How can i adjust the timing of the subtitles, sometimes the timing is not exact the same than the voice

[crazyforcanada]

When I click on EDIT SUBTITLES (the magic auto-generated ones), no white window pops up, it's just BLACK, with a vertical string of single characters one on top of the other down the right-hand margin of the BLACK window, and those characters do not represent the actual auto subtitles.

[AlmissaGaming]
