The subtitles at the bottom of the screen give the audience a better understanding of the TV series, movies, and music videos. The interesting thing is that most video viewers are prone to read the subtitles unconsciously. If you want to increase audience engagement for your YouTube videos, you are suggested to add subtitles to the video, because that will bring more benefits than you ever expected.

We will at first briefly list some reasons why video viewers need text information, so you will know why adding subtitles is important. Later, I will focus on how to use the free desktop video editor MiniTool MovieMaker and online tools to add subtitles to the video. Follow the tutorials step by step, hopefully, you will find the methods useful when you craft new videos some other day.

Many people have the habit of turning captions on, even if the audio is clear enough.

By translating your video captions into the most spoken languages, more people can understand the video content better. 

For foreign language learners, subtitles could be helpful to enhance listening comprehension and improve reading speed.

Sometimes we can’t turn on audio when using electronic devices in public places, we could understand the video content through the subtitles.

Method 1. How to Use Desktop Free Software to Add Subtitles to Video? 

VLC and the Windows Movie Maker are able to add customized subtitles to the videos. Nevertheless, the latter program is no longer available for download. After it stops updating, many existing users complain that Windows Movie Maker is not working normally.

Editing video can be fun or time-consuming for video producers, depending on type of the video production, the user’s video editing skills, and what video editor they are using. If you want to easily edit video or if you do not edit videos too frequently, the entry-level video editing programs would be enough. In the following part, we will show you how to use the Movie Maker alternative, MiniTool MovieMaker to add subtitles text to your videos.

Step 1. Import video file (s) from your PC/tablet.

Download and install MiniTool MovieMaker on PC (It is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 computers.)

Launch this free video editing program, after that, click the Import Media Files option to add your video files. Then, please drag these imported files to the timeline at the bottom of the main UI.
