Generate Accurate Subtitles for Event-Promo Videos

Frequently Asked Questions

• Where can I check pricing and available trial credits?

  Check the current Pricing page and your account balance before submitting a task. Available trial credits, paid options, and the cost shown for your selected workflow should guide your decision. Review the task settings and displayed estimate before confirming; this guide does not promise a fixed free allowance or a specific price.

• Should I use OCR or speech recognition for an event promo?

  Use OCR when the promo already shows hardcoded schedules, venue labels, or registration text within the video image. Use speech recognition for announcements and voiceover. If both appear, review them separately so schedule-card wording is not confused with spoken details, then reconcile names, dates, and locations against approved event information.

• How should session names and speaker titles be captioned?

  Check session names and speaker titles against the official event spelling before delivery. Keep each name and title together when breaking lines on schedule cards or spoken announcements, and align the caption with the actual announcement. This preserves readable units and prevents a line break or timing shift from obscuring who is speaking or which session is promoted.

• How do I review dates and place names in a promo?

  Compare every spoken or displayed date, venue name, city, room, and direction with the approved event information. Speech recognition can mishear proper names, while OCR can confuse stylized characters. Also check whether the activity is described as in person or online, since changing that distinction can mislead viewers.

• Do I need professional video editing experience?

  Start by choosing a video and the appropriate subtitle workflow. You do not need to prepare a full editing project, but you should review recognized wording, names, timing, and line breaks before publishing. Specialized dialogue may need a knowledgeable reviewer, especially when a small transcription error changes the meaning.

• How should registration addresses appear in subtitles?

  Preserve the registration address exactly as approved, including meaningful punctuation, path segments, or capitalization. Avoid placing subtitle lines directly over an address already visible in the promo. If the address is spoken and displayed, compare both versions, keep line breaks readable, and correct any recognition error before preparing the deliverable.

• What subtitle timing works for fast event announcements?

  Align each cue with the announcement it represents, especially when dates, speakers, locations, or calls to action arrive quickly. Avoid carrying an earlier detail into the next schedule card. Split dense cues at natural phrase boundaries, allow enough reading space, and review transitions where animated graphics or rapid cuts change the visible context.

• Can I batch process several event-promo videos?

  Weydub can support batch workflows for multiple promo videos. Keep each trailer associated with its approved event details, because similar versions may contain changed schedules, venues, or registration wording. Review every result independently rather than assuming corrections from one version apply to another, particularly when campaigns reuse graphics or voiceover.

• What should I recheck after an event trailer changes?

  Run another review whenever a revised trailer changes narration, cards, ordering, or calls to action. Confirm cue timing against the new cut, then recheck dates, locations, speaker names, registration details, and whether attendance is in person or online. Even unchanged wording may need different timing after a shot is shortened or moved.

• What is the difference between hardcoded and external subtitles?

  Hardcoded subtitles are visible pixels within the video image, so OCR is used to read them. External subtitles are separate timed-text files that can be reviewed and downloaded. Check text, timing, terminology, and line breaks before delivery. If captions must appear inside the final video, embedding the subtitle file is a separate downstream editing step.

• What should I check before uploading private or licensed footage?

  Use footage you are entitled to process and check the current privacy policy and service terms before uploading sensitive material. For client projects, confirm that the agreed handling of faces, voices, personal details, and licensed media permits this workflow. Ask support about any specific retention or processing requirement rather than assuming a promise from this guide.
