How to add captions to interview video
- 1
Upload your interview recording
Drop your interview file into CentClip - MP4, MOV, and most common video formats are accepted. No account is required to get started, and your first 5 minutes of audio are processed free. Transcription begins immediately after the upload completes, with no settings to configure before you can see results.

Review and correct the transcript
CentClip displays a word-by-word transcript in the browser where you can fix names, job titles, technical terms, or any phrase the automatic transcription missed. Corrections take effect instantly across all export formats, so you only edit once. This step is especially useful for interviews that contain domain-specific vocabulary or proper nouns that generic speech models are less likely to get right.

Download captions or your burned-in video
Export a burned-in MP4 with captions permanently embedded in the video, an SRT file, or a VTT file for platforms that accept an external subtitle track. A plain-text transcript is included in the same job at no extra charge. All three formats are generated from a single upload so you can publish to multiple destinations without re-uploading.
Why choose CentClip?
Interview audio is harder to caption accurately than most content - specialized tools matter
Interviews involve at least two speakers, often recorded in imperfect environments - conference rooms, remote calls, outdoor locations - with overlapping speech, filler words, and subject-matter vocabulary that general transcription tools handle poorly. CentClip's AI model is trained on conversational, multi-speaker audio and produces accurate output across a wide range of recording conditions. The in-browser editor lets you fix any edge cases before exporting, so the final captions reflect exactly what was said rather than a best-guess approximation.
Caption one interview without committing to a monthly plan
Most captioning services require a subscription that resets every month whether you caption one video or twenty. Journalists filing a single story, HR teams recording quarterly all-hands interviews, and researchers working through an archive of field recordings all have irregular needs that subscriptions penalize with unused quota. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no subscription - a 20-minute interview costs $1.00 total. Credits never expire, so any balance left after one job is available for the next one, months later if needed.
Accessible captions broaden the audience for every interview you publish
Captions are required under accessibility guidelines for organizations publishing video content - WCAG 2.1, ADA, and similar frameworks all cite captions as the baseline for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Beyond compliance, captions also help viewers watching in a second language, in noisy environments, or at speed. An interview published with accurate captions consistently outperforms the same video without them in watch time and engagement metrics. CentClip exports SRT and VTT files accepted by YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, and most website video players, so the same caption file works across every platform you publish to.
