How to Automatically Add Subtitles to Videos using Zapier

Description and use

Automated subtitle addition workflow using Zapier and Creatomate, enabling quick publishing of subtitled videos.

Manually transcribing and adding subtitles to videos is time‑consuming and hampers social‑media reach.

Automated workflow transcribes, styles, renders, and publishes subtitled videos with minimal manual effort.

Create a Creatomate template with dynamic video and subtitle layers
Set up a Zapier Table (or other trigger) with video URL, title, description
Create a Zap: trigger on new table record
Add Creatomate action to render video using the template and input URL
Add YouTube (or other platform) action to upload rendered video with title and description
Publish Zap to run automatically
