How to add subtitles to film
- 1
Upload your film file
Drag your film onto the CentClip upload area - MP4, MOV, and other common formats are accepted. No account is required to get started, and your first 5 minutes are processed free. If you want to check transcription accuracy before committing to a full feature, upload a single scene first.

Review and correct the subtitle transcript
CentClip returns a time-coded, editable transcript aligned to your film's dialogue. Click any line to fix a character name, a location, or a word the model misreads in a scene with music or ambient sound. Corrections sync automatically across all output formats, so you do not have to adjust timing manually after editing.

Export in the format your distribution requires
Download a burned-in MP4 with subtitles baked into the picture for screeners and festival submissions, an SRT file for upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or streaming platforms, a VTT file for web players, or a plain text transcript for press materials. All formats are generated from the same corrected transcript in a single export step.
Why choose CentClip?
Predictable per-minute pricing that scales with your film's runtime - not your budget
Traditional subtitle services quote per-project rates that vary by runtime, language, and turnaround, making it hard to budget captioning before you know the final cut length. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no minimums - a 90-minute feature costs $4.50 total. That flat rate is easy to plan for whether you are finishing a short film or a full-length narrative, without waiting on a vendor quote.
Handles the dialogue-heavy audio that trips up generic transcription tools
Narrative films pack more spoken content per minute than most video formats - rapid-fire exchanges, overlapping voices, whispered lines, and scenes with competing audio layers. CentClip's speech model maintains sync through these conditions, so the subtitle blocks land on the right lines rather than drifting mid-scene. The editable transcript lets you correct character names and story-specific terms in one pass before exporting.
Credits never expire - useful for productions that move through post in stages
Film post-production rarely happens in a straight line. Picture lock, sound mix, and final delivery can be separated by weeks or months, and you may need subtitles at multiple stages - rough cut review, festival submission, and final distribution. CentClip credits do not expire, so you can buy a block when budget is available and use the remainder on later deliverables without losing what you paid for.
FAQ
How accurate are CentClip subtitles for film dialogue?
Accuracy depends on recording quality - clean production dialogue typically returns very few errors per minute, while scenes with overlapping speech or loud backgrounds may need a short correction pass. The editable transcript lets you fix any issues before exporting, so the final subtitle file matches your script.
Is there a free trial for adding subtitles to a film?
Yes - your first 5 minutes are free with no account required. After that, the cost is 5 cents per minute with no subscription needed.
What file formats can I upload and what subtitle formats does CentClip export?
CentClip accepts common video formats including MP4 and MOV. Exports include burned-in MP4, SRT, VTT, and plain text - covering festival portals, streaming platforms, and web players.
Do my credits expire if I am between production phases?
Credits never expire. Buy them when you have budget and use them at any point - months or years later - with no renewal requirement or subscription fee in between.
