Video Subtitle Maker is an online tool that will allow you to easily subtitle any video.
Here is a small utility that deserves a small place in your digital toolbox. It will necessarily be useful to you at one time or another, as for example after having uploaded a video from YouTube. Video Subtitle Maker as its name suggests in English allows you to make subtitles for a video. The advantage is that it does it quickly and well and free of charge.
The fully online tool is indeed very simple to use to subtitle a video. You or your students will be able to do this without even needing to register.
First, upload the video you want to subtitle. You can do this from the hard drive of your computer or by indicating a URL of YouTube for example if it is online.
Video Subtitle Maker will import it and then offer you a very easy editor to handle it. The video is displayed at the top of the screen with commands to pause, move forward, loop, etc. Underneath the video you have a mouse-tip timeline and a text editor to enter your first subtitle. Tell you when you want it to appear, then when it should disappear and move on to the next subtitle. It is as simple as that. At any time you can play the video in edit mode to check that the subtitles are in sync with the image and appear at the right time.
You can choose the type of font and the size. You can also create coloured subtitles and make them appear at the bottom or top of the screen.
Once you are satisfied with the result, all you have to do is save with one click. Video Subtitle Maker will then grind to prepare your final subtitled video.
You can either download the video to your computer or watch it and share it online through a unique URL provided by the site.
[Tweet “A nice tool that allows you to add subtitles to any video in seconds, easily and free of charge.”]Video Subtitle Maker is free. In return your videos will include a small logo of the company Kapwing that offers the service. But it is discreet and does not interfere with reading. If vus wish to withdraw it, it will be necessary to move to a paid subscription of a few euros per month. As part of a subscription, you will also be able to keep track of all the videos created in your personal space.
Video Subtitle Maker does not limit the duration of videos, but be careful the processing time is rather long. It is better to reserve it for short videos or clips.

Thanks, Fidel, for featuring Kapwing!
Yes it limits the duration of the videos to 30 minutes …
Small precision, the site tends to significantly reduce the image quality once the subtitling work is completed and the download completed. From a video in HD, I went to a beautiful horror in 360p … A beautiful hour and a half of lost work.
To answer Frédéric, for my part, not at all, the quality remained exactly the same
