How to Add Captions to a Video for Free
[Windows, Mac & App]
How to Add Captions to a Video for Free – The Americans with Disabilities Act requires all multimedia made for government, entertainment, education, and business have captions available for the deaf and hard of hearing community.
So why add captions or subtitles to videos that don’t fall under the Disabilities Act, like personal videos for YouTube or social media? Including the Deaf community and non-English speakers is not only inclusive, but it also helps you gain followers.
Videos with captions or subtitles receive a 40% boost in views and are more likely to be watched to the end, which helps your YouTube rank. Additionally, 80% of Facebook videos are watched on mute which means videos without captions are getting skipped.
Captions and subtitles are important and necessary for follower growth. But how can someone add captions without hiring an expensive third party? We recommend using Power Director. It is an editing software and app that allows a beginner to add captions and subtitles in a few easy steps. This article will explain the ins and outs of captions and subtitles and how to add them using Power Director.
