How to Add Subtitles to Video Without Extra Hassle
  • 01

    Upload your video for transcription

    Start by bringing your video into a project. The tool automatically generates a transcript so you can breeze through editing without messing around with waveforms or timelines.

  • 02

    Review and refine your transcript

    Make quick corrections or remove “um” and “uh” for a cleaner transcript. No advanced editing skills needed—just fix the text, and the audio and video stay in sync.

  • 03

    Export subtitles or embed them

    When you’re finished editing, export your subtitles as .SRT or .VTT files to upload on streaming platforms, or burn them into the video to create baked-in captions.
