How to add captions to twitter video
- 1
Upload your Twitter video
Drag and drop your video file or paste a direct link. CentClip accepts the common formats Twitter creators work with - MP4, MOV, and more. No account is required to get started, and the first 5 minutes are processed free.

Review and edit the auto-generated transcript
CentClip transcribes your video using speech recognition tuned for over 50 languages. You can read through the transcript in the editor and fix any words before the captions are rendered - useful for names, brand terms, or technical language that automated tools sometimes mishear.

Download your captioned video or export SRT/VTT
Choose how you want to deliver the captions. Download an MP4 with burned-in captions for direct upload to Twitter, or export an SRT or VTT file to use with Twitter's native closed-caption feature. A plain text transcript is also available if you need it for repurposing content.
Why choose CentClip for Twitter?
Twitter plays video on mute - captions are the message
X autoplays video without sound in every feed context, which means viewers who scroll past without tapping to unmute never hear a word you say. For talking-head clips, product demos, and commentary videos, the spoken content is the entire point - and burned-in captions make sure it lands. Adding captions to Twitter videos consistently increases watch time and reply engagement because viewers can follow along without reaching for their volume button.
Pay per clip, not per month
Most caption tools require a monthly subscription whether you post two videos or twenty. If your Twitter video output fluctuates - heavy during a product launch, quiet the rest of the quarter - a flat subscription means you are paying for time you are not using. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute only when you caption something. A typical 2-minute Twitter video costs 10 cents, and any unused credits stay in your account with no expiry date.
Two caption formats, one workflow
Twitter supports both burned-in captions on the video file itself and native closed captions via SRT upload in the media settings. CentClip produces both outputs from the same transcript, so you can pick the right approach for each post - burned-in for clips where the visual style matters, SRT for accessibility compliance or when you want viewers to be able to toggle captions off. No extra tools or conversion steps required.
FAQ
How accurate are the captions for Twitter videos?
CentClip uses automatic speech recognition that performs well on clear dialogue and standard accents across 50+ languages. Accuracy depends on audio quality - recordings with heavy background noise or strong accents may need light corrections in the transcript editor before you export.
How much does it cost to add captions to a Twitter video?
The first 5 minutes are free with no account required. After that, CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no subscription - a 3-minute video costs 15 cents, and you only pay when you actually caption something.
What video formats are supported for adding captions to Twitter videos?
CentClip accepts standard video formats including MP4 and MOV, which covers the files you get from screen recorders, phone cameras, and most video editors. Output is an MP4 with burned-in captions, an SRT file, a VTT file, or a plain text transcript.
Do CentClip credits expire if I stop posting for a while?
No. CentClip credits never expire - buy them once and use them whenever your next video is ready, with no monthly reset or deadline pressure.
