Import and export SRT and VTT captions

Applies to 0.11Updated 25 Oct 20261 min read

Import SRT or VTT files with the File menu import command. On export, burn captions in, save them as SRT or VTT, or embed them.

Import a caption file

1. Open the project you want to add captions to.
2. Use the import command in the File menu (⇧⌘I) and choose the SRT or VTT file.

Export captions

In Export mode, choose how captions are delivered:

• Burned in: part of the picture, always visible.
• Separate file: an SRT or VTT file for the upload page.
• Embedded: inside the video file.

A single export can carry several caption files and language audio tracks.

Captions in another language

Choose Translate Captions… to create a caption track in another language, using Apple's on-device translation or an AI service you choose. Each language is spell-checked in its own language.
