Subtitles are text versions of the spoken dialogue in a video or film, typically displayed at the bottom of the screen. They are used to provide translations for viewers who speak a different language, or to provide closed captioning for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. Subtitles can also be used to provide translations or transcriptions of songs or other audio that might not be in the viewer's native language.
Create subtitles for a video using an app called Descript. The process involves creating a new project in Descript, copying and pasting the script into the app, and then editing and formatting the script to make sure it is correct. You will also learn that the subtitles need to be exported and converted for use in a video editing software, specifically Adobe Premiere.
