OpenShot Add Text: Subtitles and Captions

OpenShot is an open source video editing soft. Adding subtitles and captions is quite tricky. Adding subtitles takes effort. Suggestions by GeekOutdoors - You can have the soundwave form displayed so you know where the talking and pausing occurs. - You also use the green marker to help you decide how long the subtitle should be shown. - Encode the subtitles in Notepad so you can easily copy and paste it later on - Turn off the snapping tool which is on by default; to remove subtitle overlap For captions, GeekOutdoors, - used footer text, shortened the duration to like 3 seconds - if you want advanced editing of the text, you will need to download and link Inkscape to OpenShot Check out  basic OpenShot tutorial  or  list of OpenShot tutorial .
