The responsiveness of the team is second to none, and the software is next level. You make subtitling easy!
Natasha Fox, World Tour Program Coordinator Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity
Amara makes publishing high quality captions a breeze. Despite all the advances in automated captioning - we've seen first hand that there's no substitute for the thought and care that professionals bring to the job. We're happy to work with Amara to help us communicate effectively with everyone.
Marketing Department Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology
The Amara team are always on-hand to turn around high quality subtitles for multiple languages in a short space of time. This is essential for a global video channel.
Toby Heard, Video Editor NOWNESS

To add videos to Amara for captioning and translation, users have two options:
• Streaming from External Platforms: All users can stream videos by providing URLs from hosting platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Ensure the video is public and embeddable to be accessible in the Amara Public Workspace. We support mp3, mp4, ogv, webm file formats.
• Direct Uploads for Paid Teams: Exclusive to paid team spaces, Amara supports direct video and Google Drive uploads.
All videos added to Amara, whether streamed or uploaded, must comply with our terms of service. For support with video uploads and settings for private videos, contact us at enterprise@amara.org.
Yes, with Amara you can create subtitles for videos in the Amara Public Workspace.
If you don’t own the video, then you won't be able to export the subtitles back to the hosting site when they are completed. Your subtitles will be available on Amara to view and download.
Here are a few simple steps to help you get started creating quality subtitles.
Yes, you can upload subtitle files directly in the subtitle editor or set up automatic subtitle syncing between Amara and your video hosting platform.
After you create subtitles on Amara, you can download the subtitles and upload them anywhere else you host your videos.
Alternatively, you can set up an integration between Amara and your video hosting platform. After you set up an integration, when you publish subtitles on Amara, the subtitles will automatically export to the video hosting platform.
For Amara Free users, subtitle export is available with YouTube and Vimeo. For upgraded accounts, there are more video platforms available for subtitle export.
Yes, Amara offers automatic captioning services as part of our commitment to making video content more accessible and engaging. This feature is available for paid team members on a per-minute fee basis, and Amara Plus members enjoy 60 minutes of free automatic captions. We support automatic captions in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese (Brazilian), Italian, and Dutch, catering to a global audience.
Even with the advanced technology behind automatic captioning, we highly recommend editing any automatic captions to ensure high-quality output.
You can download your subtitles from Amara in a variety of different formats. Note that open captions (those that are embedded into the video file) are only available through our Amara On Demand services.
Do you have more questions about which subtitle format you should use? Check out our blog post.
Our subtitle editor provides built-in guidance and subtitle guidelines.
If you need professional subtitles or subtitles in a language you don't speak, you can order high quality subtitles in multiple languages from our professional subtitling service, Amara On Demand. Simply select your videos, pick the subtitle languages you want, and then submit your order directly from your Amara Plus team.
When you create a paid account, a team workspace will be created for you. You can simply move the videos you had submitted to the Amara Public Workspace into your team workspace.
Our Amara Plus plan is available via credit card payment and is billed on a monthly basis. There is no time commitment, you can cancel anytime. For details about our Enterprise options, please contact us at: invoices@amara.org
After you cancel your plan you will still have access to team workspace until “end of your payment period”. We recommend downloading your subtitle files from your team workspace to ensure that you continue to have access to your subtitles.
Any subtitles that have been automatically synced to a video hosting site (for example YouTube, Vimeo) will stay on those platforms after cancellation. All subtitles and video data will remain in your team space and will not be moved to the Amara Public Workspace after cancellation.

Happy subtitling!
