how to add subtitles to instagram reels:  

Instagram subtitles on your Instagram Reels will be a great way to attract and keep viewers engaged since most users have their videos muted. But Instagram doesn’t transcribe and add subtitles accurately for other languages except for English. In this article, I will guide you to add captions and subtitles to your Reels both using Instagram and an online app, Mixcaptions.

how to add subtitles to instagram reels:

1. Create a text file: Start by creating a text file containing the subtitles for your Instagram Reel. Each subtitle should be written on a separate line.

2. Use video editing software: Edit your Instagram Reel using video editing software on your computer or smartphone. There are various video editing applications available for both platforms, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, or even mobile apps like InShot or Adobe Premiere Rush.

3. Add subtitles to your video: Import your Instagram Reel video into the video editing software. Then, using the text tool or caption feature in the software, add the subtitles to the video at the appropriate timing. Ensure that the subtitles are easy to read and appropriately positioned on the screen.

4. Export the video: Once you have added the subtitles, export the video in a suitable format. For Instagram Reels, the recommended format is MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio codecs.

5. Transfer the video to your phone: If you edited the video on your computer, transfer the video file to your smartphone using a cloud storage service, USB cable, or any other preferred method.

6. Post the subtitled Reel: Open the Instagram app on your smartphone, go to your profile, and tap the "+" button to create a new post. Select the subtitled video you transferred to your phone and proceed to add captions, hashtags, and any other desired settings. Finally, share the subtitled Reel on your Instagram account.

Please note that these instructions are accurate as of September 2021. Instagram's features and functionalities are subject to change, so it's a good idea to explore the app's latest updates or check the official Instagram Help Center for any new subtitle-related features that may have been introduced since then.
