Yeah it would be helpful to mention at the beginning of this video that you need to drop at least $12.00 a month for this service. I'm not particularly annoyed about it being a paid service just should be communicated up front that it is so people don't waste their time.

[neckofkwoods]

Yeah... I couldn't even upload a 30sec video without being prompted to pay. It's ok to mention that it is a paid service to access a lot of these features, but not cool to say "Veed is completely free" right off the bat😂

Excellent video. I’m going to attempt adding subtitles on my upcoming video. You certainly simplified the process and wiped out the huge effort of entering each sentence. Thanks for sharing

Hey, nice succinct video. Well done. That said, I think if you're going to promote a third party, it would be helpful to always be upfront about the costs. Just state it as you bring up the third party so we're not caught off guard when we go to use it. Other than that, keep up the good work. Your videos are easy to follow and to the point. They don't waste my time. Thanks!

Very explicit tutorial! Tried VEED - easy! So excited! Thank you, guys!

[rulafaour]

I agree with the other. It would really be helpful to say that a free account does not allow you to use "auto transcription" if your video exceeds 10 mins!!!

[CaraMelMusic]

Thank you so much. This was a big help. I was trying to figure out an easier way to do this because it's very time consuming.

[experiencewithsimmy]

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I have just started my YouTube channel and I’m just slowly learning everything about it. Thank you for helping me grow as well. I appreciate the knowledge you shared. Good luck and God bless! 🙏🥰

Great teacher, didn't even watch half the video but understood and made it!

[shadowdemonaer]

Videos upon videos and yours is the only one that helped me understand how to fix the duration of my subtitles. I really appreciate you.

[elsitaskitchen]

Hi Alec! thank you for sharing this amazing video! It was very clear...

[ThomasDavisRealEstate]

Great job. I like it even better than permanently embedding subtitles in my video file. Lol

[cozymelodiccorner]

You did a great job of explaining how to add subtitles a YouTube Video 📹 I appreciate it very much 🙏🏽😊🙌🏽

[jakubbojczuk]

super clear, Alec👏. Ok. Im going to try it and see if it works...

I'm using the free version of Veed, and I encounter a little problem when I tried to transcribe my video to add subtitles to them, I'm using the Indonesian language (Bahasa) and when I use Veed's auto-generate feature, they often misspelled the words so I have to edit them (which not a very big deal). But my problem was, every time I finished editing the words in the subtitle box they don't stay (saved), so all the words I edited changed back to what they were before. So my question is what's the solution for this, what's the problem, and what's causing them? Thank you.

[davidmolinaro]

This is amazing. Great tutorial for someone starting out.

[berryzmamire]

Thank you for a very helpful video! I do have two questions that maybe you can help me with. I do not know how to set the language of the subtitles I'm putting on the video. In the YT Studio I upload an SRT file, no problem. But I am not allowed to select the language of the titles, rather YT assumes it's the same as the audio content (it is not) and labels it incorrectly. I've searched Google and YT help, but only seem to reach help for viewers who are watching a video (as opposed to help for someone trying to enhance the content). I'm also stuck on how to position the subtitles on the screen. There are several places where I'd like to move a subtitle from the default center/lower third area to the top or middle so on screen items aren't covered. Again, when I search I find instructions for viewers and not creators. Thank you in advance for any guidance you could share. Regards, -BM

Is there a way to make the video show with subtitles as the default setting? I other words, instead of relying on the viewer to choose subtitles, I want subtitles to always show when people watch since I've added a bit of extra info in the subtitles.

[sifpaulfernandezthewingchundao]

Hi I'm a bit of a beginner I noticed that in some of my videos the captions offer all languages.
But my question is this. Seeing I am offering my students private online lessons and they live in France and Italy I tried to upload with 2
Languages... but it only offered one as a result.
Am I doing something wrong or is my account only restricted to one?
Appreciate your answer. 😊
