Tip: Generate interactions based on your subtitles
Transcribing your video opens up many more possibilities for your video. Based on your added subtitles, you can generate more interactions like a table of contents or open-ended questions.
Option 2: Select from video
When you're making a video interactive from an Online Video Platform like Vimeo or Qumu, and your video already has subtitles there, it's possible to import this subtitle track. When your platform is not compatible for the transfer of subtitle tracks, this option will be unavailable.
Option 3. Upload a subtitle file
SRT files and WebVTT files are text files that are used along with a specific format for video data. Any text editor can be used to open SRT files. Creating these files in a text editor is time-consuming and mistakes are easy to make. Check this article to solve common problems.
