Add Subtitles to Movie

How to add subtitles to movie
- 1
Upload your movie file
Drag your movie onto the CentClip upload area or paste a video URL - MP4, MOV, MKV, and other common formats are accepted. No account is needed to get started, and your first 5 minutes are processed completely free. If you want to check accuracy on a tricky accent or noisy scene before processing the full runtime, upload just that segment first.

Review and correct the subtitle text
CentClip generates a time-coded subtitle track that you can read and edit line by line in the browser. Click any segment to fix a character name, a location, a piece of slang, or any word the model mishears in a low-clarity mix. Corrections sync to all export formats automatically, so you never need to edit the SRT and the burned-in version separately.

Download your subtitled movie and subtitle files
Export a finished MP4 with subtitles burned permanently into the frame for platforms that strip external tracks, a VTT file for web players, an SRT file for streaming services and festival portals, or a plain-text transcript for accessibility records. Every format is generated from the same reviewed transcript, so one correction pass covers all your delivery requirements.
Why choose CentClip?
The cost scales with your runtime - not with how many projects you caption
Feature films and short films do not follow a predictable production schedule, and a monthly subscription charges you the same whether you caption one movie or none. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute of video, so a 95-minute film costs $4.75 total and a 12-minute short costs 60 cents. Filmmakers working across sporadic projects keep full control of what they spend without carrying a recurring fee between releases.
Burned-in subtitles survive every delivery format and platform
Streaming platforms, social media uploads, and digital screeners routinely strip or ignore external subtitle tracks during transcoding, leaving viewers without text. CentClip's hardcoded MP4 output embeds the subtitle text directly into the video frame, so the words appear on every screen regardless of the player, device, or re-encode the file goes through after you hand it off. You still get the SRT and VTT sidecar files for platforms that handle them correctly.
50+ languages mean subtitles are ready for international distribution from the same upload
Movies headed for international festivals or streaming services often need subtitles in the film's original spoken language before any translation work begins. CentClip transcribes dialogue in over 50 languages, so a Spanish-language film, a French short, or a Japanese documentary can all generate an accurate native-language subtitle file without switching tools. Having a clean native-language SRT also gives translators and distributors a reliable source document to work from downstream.
FAQ
How accurate are the subtitles CentClip generates for a movie?
Accuracy is high for movies with clean production audio - most dialogue tracks return a subtitle file that needs only a short correction pass for proper nouns, character names, or stylized spellings. Scenes with heavy background noise, overlapping dialogue, or non-standard accents may need more manual fixes, which you can make in the built-in editor before exporting.
Is there a free trial, and how much does it cost to subtitle a full movie?
Your first 5 minutes are processed free with no account required - after that, the rate is 5 cents per minute with no subscription. A 90-minute film costs $4.50 and credits you purchase never expire, so there is no pressure to use them before a billing deadline.
What video formats can I upload, and what subtitle formats does CentClip export?
CentClip accepts MP4, MOV, MKV, and other standard video formats for upload, and exports a burned-in MP4, an SRT file, a VTT file, and a plain-text transcript - all generated from one upload and one review pass.
Do my credits expire if I am between projects for several months?
CentClip credits never expire - buy a block when you are in post-production and use whatever remains on your next film months or years later, with no renewal requirement and no subscription fee accumulating in the meantime.
