Subtitles in Vegas

Kou3 wrote on 8/3/2023, 11:33 AM

Can I add subs any other way rather then adding text on screen? If not, now can I apply colours and effects on text for many clips? It's depressive to edit every clip. I tried track effects but they did not work at all. I get it that text inside a clip and a text clip itself should be dealt with differently.

Whenever I create a style of text (colors, font, etc), I copy the previous text event and alter it each time. But if you have software like Vegasaur, it allows you to batch copy styles, fonts, etc to multiple text events.

Oh, well I have 6 hours of video. That would be a looong editing.. XD

So you are wanting an automatic way of adding text so you don't have to type it in, is that right?

Or just adding text without multiple "open clip, add text, close clip, move to the next one". Something more effective and less braincrushing. I thought about a tool with a text filed and time marks.

And I doubt YouTube auto sub or something like that will do a good job. I definitely don't want to check all videos and correct mistakes.

You can add .srt file with all the subs

VEGAS has auto captions with 365 Pro that work well for short and moderate length pieces (40 min. If longer, do it in sections)

I use Whisper through Subtitle Edit and then import a srt file to VEGAS for longer works. The large v2 model is quite accurate for English, even obscure proper nouns.

For changing font styles VP 20 lets you change the whole track at one time. Vegasaur is also great for this.

I will try again track rules for font, maybe there is something I missed. Subtitle Edit works for me (R-click, add text, move on, such a nice program). Thank you, sir.

It's in the text box. There is what looks like an arrow on the right side. Click it and all events on that track change.

Whisper through CPP is accurate and easy to set up. CPU only though.

I use ctranslate2 through CUDA (NVIDIA only) which is way faster.

Then I clean it up in SubtitleEdit.

Anyway, enjoy!

Oh, I will check the text box, quite strange though they don't add this function in a track box... I have comparatively an old CPU, but my GPU is very fast in rendering. Thanks again.
