Export burned-in captions or subtitle files
Download an MP4 with captions burned into the video, an SRT or VTT file for attaching to uploads elsewhere, or a plain-text transcript for documentation. All three formats are generated from a single upload at no extra cost.
Why choose CentClip for Loom?
Loom's auto-captions only show inside the Loom player - burned-in captions travel with the file
When someone watches your Loom recording in Slack, a Notion doc, a Google Doc, or as a downloaded MP4, Loom's generated captions do not appear - they exist only in the Loom viewer. Burning captions into the video itself means the text is visible no matter where the file ends up. This is the only reliable way to ensure captions survive re-sharing, embedding in other tools, or offline playback. CentClip exports a burned-in MP4 alongside separate SRT and VTT files, covering every distribution scenario from a single job.
Async Loom videos get watched in silent environments - captions make every word land
Remote teams share Loom recordings as standup updates, design walkthroughs, and onboarding clips - videos that often get watched in open offices, on a commute, or alongside a live meeting where turning on audio is not practical. Captions remove that barrier and ensure the content is understood even when sound is off. Research on workplace video consistently shows employees are more likely to watch a recording to completion when captions are available, which matters when the video carries important context or a detailed technical explanation.
Pay-as-you-go fits the way teams actually caption Loom videos
Most teams caption a Loom recording when a specific video needs to be shared more widely - not on a daily schedule that justifies a subscription. CentClip charges 5c/min with no monthly fee, so a 10-minute product walkthrough costs 50 cents and a 30-minute onboarding video costs $1.50. Credits never expire, so buying a small batch covers several videos spread across weeks or months. There is no plan to pick, no quota to monitor, and no charge for months when you do not caption anything.
