The benefit of adding subtitle to videos:
- Subtitles enable deaf and hard of hearing users to watch videos. This is important for all video publishers especially educational institutions who need to comply with accessibility laws and internal policies.
- They also act as metadata that helps your videos show up in more places on YouTube.
...
- There are many subtitles formats, such as SRT, WebVTT, DFXP/TTML, SCC, and SAMI files, but the most commons file is SRT.
What is SRT file:
- SubRip caption files are named with the extension .SRT. This format is supported by most software video players and subtitle creation programs. The time format used is hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds, with the milliseconds field precise to three decimal places. The purpose of srt subtitle file is to use it with desired movie file together to display subtitles when you play video file by any player supporting srt subtitles. If your video doesn’t include any subtitles, you can add a .srt file to this video folder, then you will be able to get a video with subtitles by converting this video using Any Video Converter Professional/Ultimate.
