Filmora subtitles: the different ways to proceed

There are many ways to add subtitles on Filmora. But depending on your needs and skills, there are solutions that are more suitable than others. You can either:

• Use an automatic subtitle generator. This solution will automatically create your subtitles. You will only have to optimize the result and import the SRT file on the platform. This is the solution if you want to save time for medium-sized projects!
• Asking for professional captioners. This is the quality choice if you are working on a large project! You are sure to get a reliable and trustworthy service.
