How to Add Multilingual Subtitles to Instagram Reels

Adding multilingual subtitles to your Instagram Reels can significantly boost engagement and reach a wider audience. This tutorial guides you through the process of creating vertical short clips with subtitles in multiple languages using AI-powered tools like Vyexa. Whether you are new to video editing or looking for an efficient way to subtitle your content, these steps will help you get started quickly.

Step 1: Prepare Your Long-Form Horizontal Video

Start by selecting the long-form horizontal video you want to convert into Instagram Reels. Ensure the video content is engaging and contains clear audio for accurate subtitle generation. You can upload videos in common formats such as MP4 or MOV. Having a well-prepared source video will improve the quality of the final short clips with subtitles.

Step 2: Upload Your Video to Vyexa Web App or Telegram Bot

Access Vyexa through its web app at vyexa.net or use the Telegram bot for a mobile-friendly experience. Upload your chosen video file to the platform. Vyexa’s AI will automatically analyze the video to detect viral or highlight moments, which are ideal for short clips. This step sets the foundation for creating vertical 9:16 clips optimized for Instagram Reels and other short-form platforms.

Step 3: Generate Vertical Clips with Auto-Detected Highlights

Once the video is uploaded, Vyexa’s AI will generate vertical clips by cropping and formatting the original horizontal video into the 9:16 aspect ratio. You can choose to use the automatic highlight detection or switch to manual mode to split the video into specific parts or cut fragments by timecodes. This flexibility allows you to tailor the clips to your content strategy.
