TL;DR
Microsoft Clipchamp will soon offer automatic captioning to make your videos more accessible. Now due early to mid-April 2024.
Details
Microsoft: “The Caption menu is an icon in the top right corner of the Clipchamp editor. Captions will be automatically generated using AI and added to the video as text. More details about captions:
- The transcript also creates an index of timestamps to help users navigate and edit their videos
- Users can choose to correct the captions, hide the captions, or download the caption as an SRT file (the standard subtitle file recognized by video players)
- Users can control how the captions appear in the video with settings such as font size, styles and placement in the video
- Users will be required to select a language to caption in (we currently support one language per video)
- Captioning is not enabled by default and can be turned on and off for each video project
- Captions do not have global settings that for users to set across their projects or that admins can configure for the tenant”
