How to download a Facebook video including subtitles
Say this: As you browse Facebook, you come across a video that either makes you laugh uncontrollably or speaks to you. Perfect timing, soul-touching, or brilliantly clever and to top it all, the subtitles give still another level of depth or humorous timing. You now find yourself thinking, "I have to save this gem!" But how can you download it maintaining those necessary captions? Don’t worry I’ve got you covered with a step-by-step instruction.
Why would one download Facebook videos including subtitles?
Sometimes captions serve as storytellers in their own right, not only words on a screen. They simplify conversation, provide background, and enable everyone to watch films. Including subtitles guarantees you to capture the enchantment as it was meant, available to review anytime or share with others without losing the appeal.
Follow these procedures to uncover that magic and keep those captions intact!
Step 1: Open the Facebook Video
First, log over to Facebook and locate the video you want to download. Whether it’s a moving compilation of life’s tiny moments or an inspiring TED Talk-like sample, click on the video to open it in full screen.
Tip:
Take a moment to confirm captions are active. They’re normally auto-enabled, but double-check the “CC” (closed caption) button just to make sure.
Step 2: Copy the Video URL
Next, you’ll need to grab the link to the video. You can do this by clicking the three dots in the corner of the video post, selecting "Copy Link," or, if you’re on desktop, copying the link from the browser’s address bar.
Step 3: Turn to a Download Tool
For this next step, you’ll need a third-party tool or website specifically intended to download Facebook videos.
Pro-tip: Choose Tools That Keep Captions
Not all tools keep captions! Ensure the tool you chose includes an option for downloading the video with subtitles intact. Many sites designate this as a "SRT file" or "video with captions."
Step 4: Paste the Link
Once you’re on your chosen platform, paste the copied video link into the corresponding space on the tool’s website. With a short push on the “Download” button, the program will process the video link for you.
Step 5: Download the Video and Captions
Here’s where the magic happens. Most download tools will provide you options:
- Download the video alone
- Download the video with captions integrated
Make sure to choose the video with captions or download the accompanying subtitle file (SRT).
Test Tip
Once downloaded, play the file to confirm everything functions smoothly the captions should precisely sync with the visuals!
Step 6 (Optional): Refine or Repurpose
Looking to modify the movie for a presentation or a digital scrapbook? Some editing software enables you modify, clip, or merge other parts while keeping the captions intact. The options are infinite!
And Voilà!
You now own the magic in your hands a Facebook video filled with captions, ready to be revisited, shared, or used as inspiration. Isn’t it fantastic how we can preserve moments as they are, words and all?
Final Note
And while you’re here don’t just stop at downloading one video! Explore, create, and share tales in your own captivating way. Every clicking moment could lead to something remarkable.
