Add localized subtitles to video assets

Note: This article is about the new beta Admin App, which is still in development. Changes may occur. Please provide feedback directly in the beta app.

In today's diverse global market, having localized subtitles on videos is essential to ensure all team members and their buyers can understand and utilize the content. With AI video captions enabled and your localized languages set, Showpad will add localized subtitles. Users can then select their preferred subtitle language when watching videos on the Web App. This allows global sellers to grasp and distribute video content with clarity.

Tip: To apply AI subtitles to existing videos, reupload them to your Files library.
