How to add subtitles to avi
- 1
Upload your AVI file
Drop your AVI file into CentClip from any browser - no account, no software, and no format conversion required before you start. Your first 5 minutes are free, so a short clip or a sample segment costs nothing to test. CentClip accepts AVI files from camcorders, screen recorders, broadcast exports, and archived project folders without any pre-processing.

Choose your language and review the subtitles
Select the spoken language from 50+ supported options and CentClip transcribes the audio into timed subtitle lines. The inline editor lets you fix any misheard words, adjust timing, or correct names before you export - all without re-uploading the file. Most AVI files process well under real time, so even a 30-minute recording is ready to review in a few minutes.

Download your subtitled video or subtitle file
Export a burned-in MP4 with subtitles permanently embedded - ready to upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or any platform without a separate subtitle sidecar. Or download a standalone SRT or VTT file to attach to the original AVI in any media player, course platform, or NLE that supports external subtitle loading. A plain text transcript is included at no extra charge for every export.
Why choose CentClip?
AVI files can't go directly to most platforms - subtitling and conversion happen in one step
YouTube, Vimeo, and most video hosting platforms either reject AVI uploads or re-encode them with unpredictable results. Content distributors working with legacy AVI footage typically have to convert the file before adding subtitles, which means two separate tools and two rounds of quality loss. CentClip accepts the original AVI and outputs a clean MP4 with subtitles burned in - a single upload solves both the format problem and the subtitle requirement at the same time. The output MP4 uploads and plays everywhere without further processing.
One-time subtitle projects should not require a monthly subscription
Subtitle work often comes in concentrated batches - a film archive digitization, a training video backlog, a conference recording collection - rather than a predictable weekly stream. Subscribing to a captioning tool at $20 or $30 per month to handle a one-time project means paying for idle capacity every month after the batch is done. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no recurring fee, so a 90-minute AVI costs $4.50 and leaves no ongoing commitment. Credits never expire, so any unused balance carries forward to the next project years later if needed.
SRT and VTT files from one AVI master can be repurposed across every platform
A well-timed SRT file is platform-agnostic - the same file that works in VLC works on YouTube, Wistia, most LMS platforms, and professional NLEs like Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. CentClip exports both SRT and VTT alongside the burned-in MP4, so you are not locked into a single workflow. If the AVI source file needs to be repurposed in different resolutions or aspect ratios later, the subtitle file goes with it without any re-transcription. This makes CentClip a practical foundation for subtitle workflows that touch multiple delivery formats.
FAQ
How accurate are the subtitles generated from AVI files?
CentClip's speech recognition performs well on clear dialog audio typical of interviews, lectures, and narration. AVI files with noisy or heavily compressed audio may need a few corrections in the built-in editor before export.
Is there a free trial for adding subtitles to AVI?
Yes - your first 5 minutes are free with no account or credit card required. After that, subtitling costs 5 cents per minute with no subscription and no minimum spend.
What subtitle formats does CentClip export for AVI files?
CentClip exports a burned-in MP4, an SRT file, a VTT file, and a plain text transcript - all produced from the same upload at no additional cost per format.
Do CentClip credits expire if I only subtitle files occasionally?
No. Credits never expire - buy a balance when you have a batch of AVI files to subtitle and use any remainder months or years later, with no monthly reset or subscription to cancel.
