Captions are an amazing way to increase your reach and accessibility for users.
But it can be expensive to PAY for captions on every video you create.
That's why we love the ability to use your FB live videos, add captions for free via FB and then embed those videos inside your MemberVault products.
Granted, this isn't the answer for every video. Sometimes, like for a paid product, you wouldn't want your video to be publicly accessible.
In which case, we recommend paying Rev.com to handle your captions. They are super reasonably priced, and crazy fast.
That said, this method works great for videos that you want to make available to the public.
You can then use the video for re-purposing your content and reach out to more people.
Also, don't discount the option of bundling a bunch of your FB lives into a low-cost offer.
Bloggers have been doing this for years now by taking a bunch of their blog posts and turning them into purchasable books.
People love the convenience, yo!
Adding captions to your FB live video is as easy as 1...2...3.
STEP ONE.
Record your FB live.
STEP TWO:
Click on the video (from desktop, not mobile), and go up to the top right corner where there are three dots. Click that and select "Edit Video".
*Side note: this is also where you get the embed code to drop the video into your MemberVault content -- module or lesson levels*
STEP THREE:
Select "Subtitles & Captions" on the right-hand side.
Choose your video language, and then click the circle next to "English: Auto-Generated" to select it.
Then click save, refresh your video, and voila...CAPTIONS!
NOW...these captions aren't perfect. There will be mistakes. For example, MemberVault is often auto-captioned as "memorable". Which, hey, we are. 😂
If you need perfect captions, you'll either need to edit the auto-captions by clicking the pencil icon next to "English: Auto-Generated" or use a paid service like Rev.com.
Happy video-ing!
