Unlock New Possibilities: Vidby x Choppity Partnership Announcement

Most people use video subtitles and captions at least some of the time when watching content. In fact, 50% of Americans turn on subtitles "most of the time," and that number jumps to 80% for Gen Z.&nbsp; Subtitles are essential for making content accessible and enhancing engagement, especially in a world where people often watch videos without sound. However, the key lies in how you use them. A well-thought-out subtitle strategy can boost your content's success by making it more engaging and accessible. Missteps, like poorly timed or inaccurate subtitles, can do the opposite. Let's discover how you can optimize your subtitle strategy to boost your content's success (or simply use Vidby to place, translate or dub the subtitles).

<h2>Common Mistakes and Solutions &nbsp;</h2>Subtitles are a powerful tool for accessibility and engagement, but they come with their own set of challenges. Many creators struggle with poorly timed subtitles that disrupt the flow of dialogue, inconsistent formatting, overcrowded text overwhelming the screen, and low contrast that makes reading difficult. Addressing these common issues is essential to ensure that subtitles enhance, rather than hinder, the viewer's experience.

<h2>Types of Subtitles &nbsp;</h2>Subtitles serve various purposes. From aiding viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing to providing translations for international audiences. Subtitles also improve content comprehension in noisy environments or when viewers prefer to watch videos without sound. The correct use of subtitles is essential in ensuring that the message is understood universally. &nbsp;<ol><li>Open Subtitles (Hardcoded): These subtitles are permanently embedded into the video and cannot be turned off. They are ideal for content where ensuring subtitle visibility is crucial, such as foreign films or videos intended for wide distribution on platforms that may not support closed subtitles.&nbsp; Placement: Open subtitles should be positioned at the bottom center of the screen to maintain readability without obstructing key visual elements. &nbsp;</li><li>Closed Subtitles: Closed subtitles offer flexibility, allowing viewers to turn them on or off as needed. They are typically available in multiple languages, catering to diverse audiences. This type is particularly useful for streaming platforms and DVDs.&nbsp; Placement: Closed subtitles should also be placed at the bottom of the screen, but with an option for viewers to adjust the position, size, and style based on personal preference. &nbsp;</li><li>SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing): These subtitles go beyond dialogue to include descriptions of important sound effects (e.g., "door creaks," "thunder rumbling") and speaker identification, aiding those who are deaf or hard of hearing. They are especially useful for inclusive content creation.&nbsp; Placement: SDH subtitles should be placed at the bottom but slightly above any graphical elements like logos or lower-thirds to avoid overlap. &nbsp;</li><li>Forced Subtitles: Forced subtitles are used selectively when characters speak a different language than the primary one of the content, or when essential on-screen text requires translation. They ensure that viewers understand critical parts of the dialogue or text without needing to turn on full subtitles.&nbsp; Placement: These should appear at the bottom center of the screen but can be moved to the top if the lower area is cluttered with important visuals or other subtitles. &nbsp;</li><li>Creative Subtitles: Creative subtitles are stylized to match the video's aesthetics, often incorporating unique fonts, colors, or animations. They are common in music videos, experimental films, or artistic projects, enhancing the visual experience.&nbsp; Placement: Creative subtitles can be positioned dynamically within the frame to complement the visual composition, often near the speaking character or action for an immersive effect.</li></ol>

<h2>Where to Place Subtitles Correctly &nbsp;</h2>From social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where user interactions can overlay on videos, to professional and educational sites like LinkedIn and Coursera, where clarity and professionalism are key, adapting subtitle placement is crucial.&nbsp; Here’s a detailed look at where to place subtitles on various platforms: &nbsp;<ol><li>YouTube: Subtitles should be placed at the bottom center of the screen to avoid covering important visuals like the speaker's face or key graphical elements. The platform supports various formats, including SRT (SubRip Subtitle) files, allowing for multi-language options and customization.&nbsp; <img class="image_resized" style="aspect-ratio:1260/702;width:41.27%;" src="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/screenshot11_e2e6cba8e3.png" alt="screenshot11.png" srcset="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/thumbnail_screenshot11_e2e6cba8e3.png 245w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/small_screenshot11_e2e6cba8e3.png 500w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/medium_screenshot11_e2e6cba8e3.png 750w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/large_screenshot11_e2e6cba8e3.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1260" height="702"> Source: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOcpsXMJcJk">Youtube</a> Preferred Font: Sans-serif fonts like Arial or Roboto for readability. &nbsp;</li><li>TikTok: Given the platform's interactive nature, with comments and likes appearing on the screen, subtitles are often placed at the top or middle of the video. This ensures they remain visible even with user interactions. TikTok allows for custom text overlays, but SRT files are not typically used.&nbsp; <img class="image_resized" style="aspect-ratio:555/1005;width:25.17%;" src="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/photo_5229192248921550839_w_85a9618c8a.jpg" alt="photo_5229192248921550839_w.jpg" srcset="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/thumbnail_photo_5229192248921550839_w_85a9618c8a.jpg 86w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/small_photo_5229192248921550839_w_85a9618c8a.jpg 276w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/medium_photo_5229192248921550839_w_85a9618c8a.jpg 414w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/large_photo_5229192248921550839_w_85a9618c8a.jpg 552w," sizes="100vw" width="555" height="1005"> Source: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7460649204151504174">TikTok</a> Preferred Style: Bold, contrasting colors with a slight shadow for clarity. &nbsp;</li><li>Instagram: Similar to TikTok, subtitles should be positioned to avoid obstruction by interface elements such as the username or action buttons. Subtitles can be added directly during video editing with tools like Vidby or within the app using Stories or Reels.&nbsp; <img class="image_resized" style="aspect-ratio:580/1110;width:25.33%;" src="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_54_07_9b320a31de.png" alt="Screenshot at Jan 23 15-54-07.png" srcset="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/thumbnail_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_54_07_9b320a31de.png 82w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/small_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_54_07_9b320a31de.png 261w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/medium_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_54_07_9b320a31de.png 392w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/large_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_54_07_9b320a31de.png 523w," sizes="100vw" width="580" height="1110"> Source: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://about.instagram.com/features/reels">Instagram</a> Preferred Font: Clean, modern fonts like Montserrat or Lato, with high contrast against the background. &nbsp;</li><li>Corporate Websites: Subtitles on corporate websites can be more stylized to match the company’s branding. Different fonts, colors, and placements are often used, and subtitles may be hardcoded into the video or available as closed captions.&nbsp; Preferred Format: Custom HTML5 video players often support VTT (WebVTT) files for dynamic subtitle display. &nbsp;</li><li>Facebook: Subtitles are best placed at the bottom of the video, ensuring they are visible without obstructing the main content. Facebook supports SRT files for caption uploads, and they can be toggled on or off by the viewer.&nbsp; <img class="image_resized" style="aspect-ratio:500/896;width:25%;" src="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/photo_5229192248921550841_w_ff9f27c40c.jpg" alt="photo_5229192248921550841_w.jpg" srcset="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/thumbnail_photo_5229192248921550841_w_ff9f27c40c.jpg 87w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/small_photo_5229192248921550841_w_ff9f27c40c.jpg 279w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/medium_photo_5229192248921550841_w_ff9f27c40c.jpg 419w," sizes="100vw" width="500" height="896"> Source: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1140227644165446">Facebook</a> Preferred Font: Simple and clean fonts like Verdana or Tahoma, with a semi-transparent background to enhance readability. &nbsp;</li><li>LinkedIn: On LinkedIn, subtitles should complement the professional tone of the platform.

LinkedIn allows SRT file uploads for captions.&nbsp; <img class="image_resized" style="aspect-ratio:1128/794;width:40.23%;" src="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_55f8853aba.png" alt="Screenshot at Jan 23 15.png" srcset="https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/thumbnail_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_55f8853aba.png 222w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/small_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_55f8853aba.png 500w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/medium_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_55f8853aba.png 750w,https://strapi.vidby.com/uploads/large_Screenshot_at_Jan_23_15_55f8853aba.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1128" height="794"> Source: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hp_hpsmarttank-hpaipc-activity-7279504962697510912-I7Q0?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop">LinkedIn</a> Preferred Style: Minimalistic, with white text and a black outline for clear visibility. &nbsp;</li><li>Educational Platforms (e.g., Udemy, Coursera): Subtitles on educational platforms need to be clear and easy to read, placed at the bottom for uninterrupted learning.

<h2>Popular Subtitle Fonts and New Tendencies &nbsp;</h2>When it comes to subtitles, font choice plays a crucial role in ensuring readability and viewer engagement. While traditional fonts like Arial, Helvetica, and Verdana remain popular due to their clarity and simplicity, new trends are emerging in subtitle design. Here's an in-depth look at popular fonts, new tendencies in designing subtitles. &nbsp;<h3>Popular Fonts: &nbsp;</h3><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Arial: A widely used sans-serif font, known for its clean lines and excellent readability across various devices and screen sizes.</li><li>Helvetica: Another sans-serif font, Helvetica is appreciated for its modern, neutral aesthetic, making it a favorite for professional and educational content.</li><li>Verdana: Designed for screen use, Verdana features wider letter spacing and proportions, making it highly legible even at smaller sizes.</li></ul><h3> New Tendencies in Subtitle Placement: &nbsp;</h3><ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>Large, Bold Words on Screen. A growing trend, especially in social media content and artistic videos, is to use large, bold words that occupy a significant portion of the screen. This technique emphasizes key phrases or emotions, often aligning with the video's visual or emotional tone.</li><li>Dynamic Placement. Rather than sticking to the traditional bottom-of-the-screen placement, subtitles are now often dynamically placed around the frame to match the scene's action or to draw attention to specific elements. This approach can enhance storytelling by integrating subtitles more naturally into the visual flow.</li><li>Stylized Subtitles. Creative industries are increasingly using stylized subtitles that match the video’s aesthetic. This can include custom fonts, colors, and animations that align with the brand or artistic vision of the content.</li></ol>

<h2>Intro &nbsp;</h2>Some say the planet is a global village. During these 19 busy days in August 2024, it can also be compared to the Olympic Village, the latter being the epitome of our global multilingual hive, a melting pot of languages and cultures.&nbsp; In this article, we wanted to study the fantastic linguistic tapestry of the Olympic Games and possible ways of applying AI-powered linguistic solutions for better interlingual communication during similar events.&nbsp;

<h2>Official (and other) languages &nbsp;</h2>The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris hosted <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://wolfestonegroup.com/insights/blogs/speaking-the-olympic-language">10,000+ athletes from 204 nations</a>. Linguistically, it hosted speakers of over 100 languages and broadcasted to sports fans who speak many more. Let’s consider the most interesting facts about the linguistic side of the Olympic Games. As for the official languages of the current Olympic Games, they are French and English, as specified by Rule 23 of the IOC Olympic Charter. However, each Olympic Games also has a third official language of the host nation. For example, at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japanese was one of the official languages used in the Olympics. Interestingly, the host language’s alphabet determines the order in which countries appear at the opening ceremony. The host country and Greece are the only exceptions to this rule because Greece always enters the ceremony first as a symbol of where and how the Olympics came into being.&nbsp; The French language remains primary, even when the Olympic Games don’t take place in France. You may ask, why? The modern Olympic Games, first held in 1896, were founded by Pierre de Coubertin, a French Baron; the Games took place in the Grand Amphitheatre at the Sorbonne University in Paris. The IOC was also established in French, while its home base is in Lausanne, a French-speaking part of Switzerland. Besides French and English, the IOC requires simultaneous interpretation in four more languages—German, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic—during all official sessions, press conferences, and meetings. Here’s an Olympic-linguistic fact: during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://wolfestonegroup.com/insights/blogs/speaking-the-olympic-language">over 35,000 volunteers</a> were providing language assistance. Of course, it could be great to use Chinese and Hindu, as it would cater to 1.39 billion people and 588 million people worldwide, with Chinese and Hindu as their mother tongues, respectively. However, the Olympic spirit doesn’t stretch that far.&nbsp; English language proficiency is more common among athletes and viewers than proficiency in French; as a result, the latter often gets overlooked. To amend the situation, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lighthouseonline.com/blog-en/why-is-french-the-language-of-olympics/">since 2004</a>, the International Francophone Organization has been sending a designated person, Grand Témoin (Great Witness), to oversee: &nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type:square;"><li>if (and how) French is spoken at the Olympics,</li><li>if it appears on all signs,</li><li>if volunteers and visitors at the venues speak French in any capacity. &nbsp;</li></ul>As we can see, France and other French-speaking countries find it paramount to honor the memory of the modern Olympics’ origins and the status of French culture at the Games. Besides its official languages, the Olympic Games also embrace indigenous languages. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://worldwideinterpreters.com.au/2023/06/15/languages-of-the-olympics/">The Winter Olympics in Canada (2010) and the Summer Olympics in Brazil (2016)</a> used indigenous languages, emphasizing their value and raising awareness about endangered linguistic heritage. The Olympics also recognizes the importance of accessibility and incorporates sign language interpretation into their ceremonies and events. Sign language interpreters bring the Games to the hard-of-hearing community, ensuring equality and inclusivity and symbolizing the Olympic movement’s commitment to diversity. Besides traditional languages per se, the Olympic Games use pictograms for the sake of successful multilingual visual communication. Pictograms have been used since the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. These graphic symbols convey essential information in an easy-to-process way and help athletes and guests navigate the venues. The host nation’s designers create unique pictograms reflecting their cultural identity, history, and traditions. These graphics weave a breathtaking tapestry throughout the events, adding a unique flavor to every Olympic edition.

<h2>National teams’ slogans, hashtags, and more from the language box &nbsp;</h2>The support teams arrive in Paris 2024 from all corners of the world, speaking languages from Spanish and Hindi to Mandarin and Swahili.
