Download Your Captioned Video or Subtitle File
Choose the output format that fits your workflow - download an MP4 with captions burned directly into the video frame, or export a standalone SRT or VTT subtitle file for use with any player. A plain text transcript is also available. Every format is ready to upload to YouTube, social media, or any video platform.
Why choose CentClip?
Captions Without a Monthly Commitment
Most captioning software ties you to a subscription even when your captioning workload is occasional or unpredictable. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no recurring fee, so a 10-minute video costs 50 cents total and nothing more. Credits never expire, meaning you can buy a block of minutes today and draw on them months later without losing a cent. This makes it practical for anyone who captions in bursts rather than every week.
Transcription in 50+ Languages - No Translation Step
CentClip transcribes directly in the language your video was recorded in, covering over 50 languages including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi, and many more. This matters because routing through translation to produce captions introduces compounding errors that undermine accuracy. If your speaker talks in Korean, CentClip produces Korean captions - not a translation from English. The result is captions that reflect what was actually said rather than a downstream approximation.
Burned-In Captions That Display Everywhere
SRT and VTT subtitle files depend on the viewer's player to render them - on social platforms that strip external tracks, those captions simply disappear. CentClip's burned-in MP4 export embeds captions directly into the video frame, so they show up on Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn, and anywhere else regardless of player support. This is critical for social video, where silent autoplay means captions are often the only way a viewer follows along.
