SRT or VTT: which file do you need?
SRT is the most widely accepted subtitle file: YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve and almost every player read it. VTT (WebVTT) is the web standard for HTML5 video and most online players. If in doubt, download SRT; you can convert between the two with our free SRT to VTT converter.
Subtitles that are easy to read
Generated lines are split at natural pauses and kept to a readable length, using the timing of each word rather than cutting sentences in the middle. Speaker names can be added in front of lines for interviews and podcasts.
Burned-in captions or a subtitle file?
A subtitle file stays separate from the video, so viewers can switch it on and off and search engines can read it. Burned-in captions are drawn into the picture, which social apps like Reels and TikTok often need. Audiotexta creates the file; to burn it in, import the SRT into CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve and export the video.
Subtitles in another language
On Pro you can translate the subtitles into 50+ languages with one click. The translation keeps the original timing, so the new SRT lines up with the video immediately.
