How to add subtitles to video
- 1
Upload your video
Drag your video file into CentClip or paste a link - no account or credit card required for your first 5 minutes. CentClip accepts common formats including MP4, MOV, and WebM. The upload and processing run in your browser, so you can move to the review step within minutes of dropping your file.

Review and edit your subtitles
CentClip generates a time-synced transcript covering 50-plus spoken languages and displays it line by line in the editor. Scan through the text and correct any words the recognizer got wrong - brand names, proper nouns, and technical terms are the most common edits. Each change is reflected in the subtitle timing automatically.

Download your subtitled video or subtitle files
Choose burned-in captions to get an MP4 with subtitles locked into the picture, or download an SRT or VTT file to attach to your video on any hosting platform. A plain text transcript is also available if you only need the words without timecodes. All export options appear on the same screen once you finish reviewing.
Why choose CentClip?
Subtitles are how most people watch video now - not an afterthought
Research has found that as many as 85 percent of social videos are played with the sound off. Adding subtitles to video is no longer an accessibility extra reserved for compliance - it is how content gets seen in the first place. CentClip turns around a subtitle file fast enough to add it before you publish, not as a retroactive fix days after you have already lost views. A 10-minute video takes about as long to subtitle as it does to rewatch.
Start without an account and pay only for what you subtitle
Most subtitle tools gate the first result behind an email address, a credit card, or both. CentClip gives you 5 free minutes with no sign-up, so you can verify the output quality before committing any money. After the free tier, the rate is 5 cents per minute with no subscription - a 15-minute video costs 75 cents, and the credits you buy today are still valid next year.
Burned-in subtitles and separate files from the same upload
When you add subtitles to video, the destination determines which format you need: a burned-in MP4 for social sharing, an SRT for YouTube or Vimeo, a VTT for a web player. CentClip produces all three from a single transcription run without reprocessing the video. You pick the format at export time, so one upload covers every place the video needs to go.
FAQ
How accurate are the subtitles CentClip generates?
Accuracy depends on the clarity of the audio - clean speech with low background noise produces subtitle text that typically needs few corrections. CentClip's editor lets you review every line and fix errors before you download the final file.
How much does it cost to add subtitles to a video?
Your first 5 minutes are free - no account or credit card required. After that, CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no subscription, no monthly minimum, and no credits that expire.
What video formats and subtitle formats does CentClip support?
CentClip accepts video files including MP4, MOV, and WebM. Exported formats include a burned-in MP4, SRT, VTT, and plain text - all compatible with YouTube, Vimeo, and most video players.
Do CentClip credits expire if I don't subtitle anything for a few months?
No - CentClip credits never expire. Buy them for a current project and use whatever is left the next time you have a video, with no deadline to worry about.
