Interview cut — subtitle file exported for the edit

Transcript Summary Repurpose

00:00:02 The first version shipped in six weeks, and honestly it was held together with tape.

00:00:09 But it proved the thesis, and that bought us the runway to rebuild it properly.

00:00:16 By the second cut we'd rewritten the whole pipeline from the ground up.

00:00:23 That's when the numbers finally started to move in the right direction.

What you get

Subtitle files your editor expects.

Upload the footage, get properly timed SRT and VTT back. Built for editors, localizers, and post teams who need a subtitle sidecar that imports clean — not a wall of untimed text.

Editor-ready SRT & VTT

Download standards-compliant SRT and VTT files that import cleanly into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, and every NLE that reads subtitle sidecars.

Precise segment timing

Each subtitle cue carries a real start time pulled from the audio, so cues land on the line as it is spoken instead of drifting through the timeline.

Subtitles from the audio

No existing subtitle track needed — we transcribe the audio itself. Raw footage, exports, and unsubtitled masters all produce a complete subtitle file.

How it works

From footage to subtitle file in three steps.

Choose the file, let us transcribe and time it, then download the SRT or VTT. Subtitle generation is a Plus and Pro feature at 10 credits per audio-hour.

Upload your footage

Drag a video or audio file onto the box above, or click to browse. MP4, MOV, WebM, MP3, WAV and more — up to 500MB and six hours. Sign in on a Plus or Pro plan to start.

We transcribe and time it

Whisper Large v3 Turbo transcribes the audio and breaks it into timed subtitle cues with real per-segment start and end times. Costs 10 credits per audio-hour.

Download SRT or VTT

Export the subtitle sidecar and import it into Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, or CapCut. Or translate to 39 languages first for a full localization pack.

Beyond the subtitle file

One upload, a full delivery pack.

Every subtitle file can be translated, exported in other formats, summarized, or repurposed — everything the deliverable needs from a single transcription.

Translate to 39 languages

Generate the source subtitles, then translate into Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and 35 more — a localization pack from one upload.

Delivery in every format

SRT and VTT for the edit and the web, TXT for the script, PDF for client sign-off — export each with one click.

AI summaries

A two-sentence recap of the footage — useful for shot logs, review notes, and edit decision lists.

Repurpose the transcript

Turn the subtitled transcript into a blog post, show notes, or a description without re-transcribing.

How it works

How to generate SRT & VTT subtitles.

A subtitle generator turns your footage into a timed subtitle file — the SRT or VTT sidecar your editor and platforms read. Upload the video and we transcribe its audio with Whisper Large v3 Turbo, then break it into cues with real per-segment timing. Subtitle generation is a Plus and Pro feature at 10 credits per audio-hour.

SRT and VTT that import clean

The output is a standards-compliant subtitle sidecar, not a rough transcript. SRT drops into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and CapCut; VTT is what YouTube and web players expect. Import the file and the cues appear on the timeline already timed, ready to nudge and style.

Timing you can trust

Each cue carries a genuine start and end time derived from the audio, so subtitles land on the line as it is spoken. Timing is at the segment level — clean cue boundaries you can fine-tune in your NLE rather than a single undifferentiated block of text.

No source subtitle track required

Because we transcribe the audio itself, you don't need existing subtitles to start. Raw camera footage, a finished master, or an export that never had a subtitle track all produce a complete SRT or VTT — which is exactly when an editor needs a subtitle generator most.

Localize into 39 languages

Generate the source-language subtitles, then translate them into Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and 34 more. One upload becomes a multi-language subtitle pack, so you deliver every market from the same transcription instead of subtitling each language by hand.

A complete delivery pack

Alongside SRT and VTT, export TXT for the script and PDF for client review — everything a delivery needs from one job. For on-screen captions aimed at social feeds, the caption generator covers the same upload with a short-form angle.

FAQ

Subtitle questions.

How do I generate an SRT file from a video?

Upload the video into the box above. We transcribe its audio with Whisper Large v3 Turbo and split it into timed cues, then let you download a standards-compliant SRT file (or VTT). Import it into your editor or platform. Subtitle generation is a Plus and Pro feature.

Which editors do the subtitle files work with?

SRT imports into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, and any NLE that reads subtitle sidecars. VTT is what YouTube and web players expect. You get both formats from every job.

What is the difference between SRT and VTT?

Both are timed subtitle sidecar files. SRT is the universal format editors and most platforms accept; VTT (WebVTT) is the web-native format used by YouTube and HTML5 players and supports a little more styling metadata. We generate both so you can use whichever your target needs.

Can I generate subtitles without an existing subtitle track?

Yes. We transcribe the audio directly, so raw footage, finished masters, and exports with no subtitles all produce a complete SRT or VTT. An existing subtitle track is never required.

Can I translate the subtitles into other languages?

Yes. Generate the source subtitles, then translate the text into 39 languages to build a multi-language subtitle pack from a single upload — no need to re-transcribe for each language.

How precise is the subtitle timing?

Each cue carries a real start and end time taken from the audio, so subtitles sync to the spoken line. Timing is at the segment level, giving you clean cue boundaries to fine-tune in your NLE.

How long a video can I subtitle?

Files up to 500MB and six hours. Longer recordings are split into overlapping segments, transcribed in parallel, and stitched back into one continuous subtitle file, so long-form interviews and documentaries are no problem.

How much does it cost?

Subtitle generation from uploaded files is a Plus and Pro feature at 10 credits per audio-hour. Sign in on a Plus or Pro plan to start.

“I used to pay a service per minute for SRT sidecars and wait a day. Now I upload the master, download a clean subtitle file that imports straight into Resolve, and translate it for every market in one pass.”
