Method 1: Speech to Text

This approach uses advanced speech recognition technology to transform spoken audio into highly accurate text captions. Users also get the ability to add various customization and variations to the generated subtitles using the intuitive interface of Filmora:

Step 1. Create a New Project and Import Your Video

Start by opening Filmora on your Mac and selecting the "New Project" option from the start page. Import the video you want to caption by dragging and dropping it onto the editing timeline to set up your workspace.

Step 2. Access the Speech to Text Feature

Navigate to the "Title" menu at the top of the interface, then select "Speech to Text". Here, choose your preferred language for transcription and select the output format that fits your needs. Click the "Generate" button to begin converting speech to text automatically.

Step 3. Customize the Captions

Once Filmora processes your video, double-click on the caption track to open the text editing panel. Adjust the captions' font style, size, and color according to your preferences. Filmora also lets you apply these changes to all captions at once by clicking "Apply to All", ensuring consistent styling throughout.

Step 4. Add Animation to Your Captions

To make your captions lively and dynamic, enable the "Animation" tab. Choose from a wide array of animation presets and apply your selection to the entire caption set with the "Apply to All" button. Once satisfied, export the video by clicking the "Export" button located at the top-right corner of your screen.

Method 2: Dynamic Captions

Unlike the manual Speech to Text method, the Dynamic Captions feature automatically detects spoken words and creates real-time animated text captions that highlight the word currently being spoken, providing a more immersive viewing experience.

Step 1. Enable the Dynamic Captions Feature

After importing your video into Filmora, go to the "Titles" tab and select "AI Captions" from the left-hand menu. Choose "Dynamic Captions", then pick the language of your subtitles. You can also decide whether to include translation options. Once set, press the "Generate" button to produce the dynamic captions.

Step 2. Edit Your Dynamic Captions

Once the captions appear, open the right-side panel and go to the "Basic" section to adjust the appearance of the highlighted words as well as the rest of the text. You can modify font styles, colors, sizes, and even add animations. Click "Apply to All" for uniformity across your captions. Finally, export your video with these customizable, eye-catching captions by hitting the "Export" button in the top-right corner.

Step 3. Emphasize Spoken Words in CaptionsNEW

Go to the "Text" panel, choose the text you want to emphasize, and click the "Emphasis" button to make the spoken words stand out within the video. Once you are done adding the captions and making all significant changes, lead to the "Export" button.
