#Video Subtitling

[anarchopuppy]

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

How video subtitles have gained importance in the past few years?

If you also committed the same error, you may be drowning in your sorrow over the poor engagement and low ROI you are experiencing. Thus, you are in the proper place. You will be inspired to add subtitles to your videos after reading this article about the significance of Video subtitling. By doing this, you can ultimately make your online video so endearing that everyone will enjoy it.

The Importance of Video Subtitling

1. SEO (search engine optimization) is improved:

Using subtitles for your videos can raise your search engine ranking. People prefer to watch subtitled videos through to the end, as was already mentioned. When viewers watch the video for longer periods of time, increasing the "dwell time," your rankings will rise. More people will watch your video as a result, increasing its online visibility. Your ranking in search results will improve as a result of everything you've done.

2. Increases the social reach of videos:

Video subtitling has an impact on how viewers watch, react to, and engage with your videos. Compared to videos without captions, Facebook videos with captions had a 16% higher reach, per Instapage. They received 17% more reactions, 15% more shares, and 26% more click-throughs on the call to action. As a result, adding subtitles aids in broadening the social reach of videos.

3. Increases viewer engagement:

Online scrolling is popular. People can watch videos uninterrupted by other people if the video is muted and has subtitles. Moving Video subtitling can keep viewers' attention and keep them from scrolling away. The overall effect is to increase viewer engagement.

4. Help in expanding internationally:

How will people consume your content if they cannot understand it? If you want to reach people all over the world, you must translate your content. You can reach more people in your target country by providing content with subtitles in their own language.

5. Advances comprehension:

Each person has a unique preferred method of learning. Some people find reading, watching, and listening to be the best ways to learn. For those who learn best through reading, your videos will be more impactful if they include Video subtitling. Additionally, because text and video work together to improve understanding, many people prefer a combination of text and video to a video that is only video.

6. Affordable:

One of the subtitles' main benefits is that, compared to voice-overs and closed captioning, their production costs are much lower. Because subtitling does not need recording engineers, voice actors, or audio studios, it is a more affordable option.

7. Clearly defines everything:

A video with subtitles makes for a smooth viewing experience for the audience because they make technical terms, full names, and brand names clear and easy to understand. Furthermore, subtitles make it simpler to read and comprehend the original dialogue in the event that one finds it challenging to understand the accents used in a particular film.

Conclusion

Video subtitling is a useful technique that expands the audience for video content while increasing accessibility and comprehension. Incorporating subtitles into your videos can greatly benefit your audience and contribute to a more inclusive and engaging viewing experience, whether you're using them for marketing, education, or entertainment purposes. With the globalisation of content accelerating, video subtitling has emerged as a crucial tool for bridging linguistic divides and promoting intercultural understanding. Use video subtitles to connect with a wide audience and make your content more accessible.

I spend a massive amount of time reading about AIDS, because when you study queer history you're gonna spend a lot of time studying AIDS, and when I spend a lot of time reading about AIDS, it inevitably leads to me getting stuck in a "I am furious at every single person who acts like covid is over, but I'm extra livid with the queer people who don't care anymore" mood.

Mad about government negligence and public apathy, time to post the Larry Kramer Plague Speech again.

And for Mr. Kramer's thoughts on COVID-19, before yet another person crawls into my notes to accuse me of being "insensitive" by comparing AIDS and COVID-19 (as happens every single time I dare to compare them):

"The current plague, he said, calls for its own Larry Kramer to bring the rage — against disease, against governmental failure, against the unfairness of death. It just will not be him. 'I wish I could be,' he said. “I don’t know how. I would like to have a big movement,' he added. 'But I’m not quite sure how to do that.'" - Taken from "Larry Kramer, AIDS Warrior, Takes on Another Plague"

Larry Kramer died in 2020 due to complications from pneumonia. I never want to put specific individual queer people up on pedestals, because everyone has their flaws, but I do still think about Larry Kramer's AIDS activism a lot. Some days it feels like I'm the only one who decided to scoop up his rage and keep it burning. I know I'm not, but fuck, man, "still has to be worried about covid" is a lonely demographic to belong to.
