How to video caption generator
- 1
Upload your video file
Drop any common video format into CentClip - MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, and more are all accepted. No account or credit card is needed for your first 5 minutes. Your file is processed and not stored beyond the time it takes to generate captions.

Select your language and review every caption line
CentClip automatically detects the spoken language, or you can pick from 50-plus languages manually for best accuracy. Once transcription finishes, a time-synced editor lets you scan each caption block and fix anything the recognizer missed - names, acronyms, or technical terms take only seconds to correct.

Download your captioned video or subtitle file
Export a burned-in MP4 with captions locked into the picture, or download an SRT or VTT file to attach to the original. A plain text transcript is also available if you only need the words without timecodes. All three export types appear on the same screen - no separate steps to retrieve each one.
Why choose CentClip?
Caption costs that match the volume of work you actually do
Most captioning services charge a flat monthly rate whether you process one video or one hundred. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute of video, so your cost scales directly with what you produce. A 10-minute tutorial costs 50 cents; a 45-minute webinar costs $2.25. Credits never expire, so buying ahead for a batch of videos does not mean racing a billing deadline to use them up.
Burned-in captions that follow the file everywhere it goes
When captions are burned into your video, they appear on every platform and player without requiring a viewer to enable a subtitle track. A burned-in MP4 from CentClip is still a standard MP4 - it uploads to YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, or a learning management system exactly as the original did. This matters for social content, where platform-generated captions are often wrong, and for accessibility, where relying on viewers to turn on captions is not a reliable strategy.
Fifty-plus languages without changing the language of your content
A video caption generator transcribes speech into text in the language that was spoken - it does not translate. CentClip covers 50-plus languages, so a Spanish tutorial, a French webinar, or a German training video each gets accurate captions in its original language. This is the correct approach for accessibility compliance, for search indexing, and for audiences who prefer to read captions in the source language rather than a translated equivalent.
FAQ
How accurate is CentClip's video caption generator?
Accuracy depends on audio clarity - clean speech with minimal background noise produces near-verbatim results. The built-in editor lets you review and correct every caption line before downloading.
Is there a free version of the video caption generator?
Yes - CentClip gives you 5 free minutes with no account and no credit card required. After that, you pay 5 cents per minute with no subscription and no minimum purchase.
What video formats does CentClip accept, and what can I download?
CentClip accepts MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, and other common video formats. Output options include a burned-in MP4, an SRT file, a VTT file, and a plain text transcript.
Do my credits expire if I don't use them right away?
No. CentClip credits never expire - buy them for one project and use the remainder whenever you need them, with no monthly reset or rollover deadline.
