FAQ

  • Q: Can I display multiple subtitle tracks or languages at the same time?

    • We currently don't support displaying multiple subtitle tracks at the same time.

  • Q: I already have subtitles in my original video. Can I translate those?

    • If the subtitles are already hardcoded into the video, we cannot translate those. The subtitles have to be generated in our editor, and only then will we be able to translate them.
