One area where desi / Indian video editors suffer is Captions. in today’s speed cuts and busy life, everyone consume content in their own way.
But sometime having an earphone or sound clarity in busy traffic in Indian majority of cities is very difficult, this is where the captions play the key role. A person having basic reading skills and understanding of any Indian languages can read in his or her own mother tongue or any of Indian official languages like Hindi or English in a majority.
Creating captions is very difficult task to do them manually through editing tools like Premiere pro or Davinci, even though one achieve it, designing them or making them standout visually is challenging. And Indian freelancing market does not allow you to take more time for any creative task, Here they demand good work at the fastest time possible.
So here comes the role of online website where people generally go to generate captions for their edited videos.
There’re many great tools like Descript (One of my favorite tools till date), veed [dot] io, invideo, captions [dot] ai etc. But they are mostly paid, and using them for free most of the time comes with a watermark.
For a client video, which should be professional, sometime usually holding the client’s company logo, can never entertain to advertise any external website’s branding on it’s video and share it on social media, So generally editors use the captions by using some masking techniques, or cropping the video to some extent, to make the video look bit of compromised quality but keep the captions.
But now there’ll be no need to have such problems. India the 7th largest country in the world, has many languages, and using above tools doesn’t meet the demands. They’re pretty good in english but when it comes to Hindi or other Indian regional languages they lack that spark.
Here comes the new tool, I’ve used this tool personally and really impressed with the outcome, and the capabilities of this tool. By the way this is an unsponsored post, I’m writing this article with the only intention to make this tool usable by my fellow freelancing video editor brothers and sisters and make the earn a livelihood by using this tool.
The tool is kalakar.io
The best thing about this tool is their affordable plans…
I tried to use their free plan, but when exporting the video i’s working is showing a popup to go with the editor plan at least, so I think 850 rupees per month for someone editing reels and YouTube videos every day and need captions in their video accurately with most trending templates like some ot the top content creators like Ali Abdal, Alex Hormozi, Iman Gadzhi, Mr. Beast, then I don’t think that there’s any other tool in the market that can do the job better than this.
So dear video editors, I would like you to try the tool and give your valuable feedback in the comments here! peace ✌️
