Import Captions

Bring in an existing SRT or VTT file and attach it to your video without retyping anything. Useful when your captions came from a transcription service, a prior project, or your team’s accessibility workflow. The tool reads both formats directly.

Real-Time Preview

Watch the captioned video before you export. Spot timing that’s out of sync, text that runs too long for the line, or moments where a caption covers something important on screen. Fix it now.

Export Options

Download the video with captions embedded so they display on every player, or keep the caption file separate so viewers can toggle them on and off. Pick whichever fits where the video is going to live.

FAQs

  • Captions are written for viewers who cannot hear the audio. They include dialogue, speaker labels, and sound effects like [door slams] or [music playing]. Subtitles are written for viewers who can hear the dialogue but do not understand the language, so they cover only the dialogue.
