Can I share a public link with someone not using Subly?

We believe your video content should be available for your audience whenever you'd like to share it with. We have the Subly share feature for you to share a public link with whoever you choose when you've finished editing your video. You don't have to share the link if it's not for public use. Subly has many other interesting features. Check out different plans and what they offer.

How can I suggest a new feature to improve my content?

We always love to hear your suggestions on how we can improve our product. Please submit your idea or vote for new features on our Roadmap page.

How can I share my video straight to other platforms?

You can share the preview video straight social media platforms or via email. To access the preview, click the share button inside the editor and then copy link. Please vote for what you’d like to see next or leave your suggestions on our Roadmap.

How do I spend my minutes?

Your minute budget is spent based on the duration of the video/audio content you upload and the number of actions you are performing on it.


For example:
If you have a 4-minute-long video and you upload it for transcription, that will deduct 4 minutes from your time budget.
If you decide to translate that content into French, that will “cost” you another 4 minutes.
Want it in Spanish? That’s 4 more minutes out of your budget.
In total, if you transcribe a 4-minute video and translate it into 2 languages, that’s going to deduct 12 minutes from your budget: 4 for transcription and 4 more for each of the translations – 3x4 minutes is 12 minutes.

If you’re on a Enterprise plan, we can be flexible about how you spend your minutes. Contact us to talk about it.

How do I translate subtitles into another language with Subly?

You can translate to over 70 languages automatically. See our subtitle translation page.

Can I download the same video in multiple languages?

Of course, we're here to help you get your content in any language you need. You can transcribe different videos in the original language spoken to translate to over 70 languages. When you're happy with your original transcription you just select translation and choose the other languages you'd like to repurpose your content in. Learn more about how the automatic subtitle translator works.

Why is the colour different on my HEVC encoded video?

Video recorded on newer iPhones or iPads are usually saved in HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) format to take up less space on the device. This format of video has limited support on Subly and so may lead to some discolouration of the video. If you are wanting to burn subtitles onto your video, we recommend first exporting your HEVC to a more compatible H.264 format before uploading to Subly. Please see details from Apple https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207022

If you still think this is a Subly issue, contact us directly.

Why are there mistakes in the transcription?

Our transcription uses AI and the quality of the transcription really depends on the quality of the audio; the spoken language, pronunciation, and background noise. We are constantly improving the transcription quality and striving for 100% accuracy in the future. Because of many factors that we can't influence, the transcription may not be 100% accurate. That’s why we've built an easy-to-use platform so you can make any edits you need to, in seconds. Log into your Subly account and correct any mistakes in minutes.
