How to subtitle editor
- 1
Upload your video and generate a subtitle draft
Drag your video file into CentClip - no account needed for your first 5 minutes. The transcription engine processes the audio and produces a timed subtitle file automatically, with each caption segment matched to the correct moment in the video. Support for 50+ languages means it targets the right vocabulary for your recording from the start.

Review and edit captions in the subtitle editor
The editor shows each subtitle segment alongside the video timeline so you can spot and fix errors without scrubbing through footage manually. Click any segment to correct wording, adjust start and end times, or split a long line into two shorter ones. Every change updates the video preview in real time so you can see exactly how the finished captions will look.

Export your captioned video or subtitle files
When your edits are done, download a burned-in MP4 with subtitles permanently embedded in the footage, or export an SRT or VTT file to upload separately to YouTube, Vimeo, or your video editor. A plain text transcript is also available if you need the copy for show notes, a blog post, or accessibility documentation.
Why choose CentClip?
A timed subtitle draft means you edit, not transcribe
Typing subtitles and syncing each line by hand for a 15-minute video can take two hours or more. CentClip generates the draft for you, so your job in the editor is to correct the handful of lines that need it - not build the entire caption file from a blank page. Most users find the draft accurate enough that editing takes only a few minutes for typical talking-head footage. The time you save grows with every video you caption.
Edit timing and wording in one place without round-tripping through a separate tool
Many subtitle workflows involve exporting a rough SRT from one tool, opening it in a dedicated caption editor, adjusting timing, and reimporting - a chain of steps where something can go wrong at every handoff. CentClip combines transcription and editing in a single browser session: you generate, review, correct, and export without switching applications. Fewer steps means fewer chances for sync drift or formatting errors to sneak in.
Pay per video - no subscription means no wasted spend between projects
Subtitle editors bundled inside monthly plans charge you $15-30 every month, even when you have no videos to caption. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no recurring fee, so a 12-minute interview costs 60 cents total. Credits never expire, which means buying a block of minutes for a busy project week and using the leftovers months later works exactly as you would expect. There is nothing to cancel and no renewal to forget about.
FAQ
How accurate is the auto-generated subtitle draft before editing?
Accuracy is generally high on clean recordings with clear speech. The subtitle editor is designed to make corrections fast - click a segment, fix the text or timing, and move on - so even imperfect drafts are quick to clean up.
Is the subtitle editor free to use?
Your first 5 minutes of video are free with no account required. After that, the rate is 5 cents per minute with no subscription - buy credits as needed and they never expire.
What file formats can I import and export?
CentClip accepts common video formats including MP4, MOV, and WebM. Export options include a burned-in MP4, SRT, VTT, and a plain text transcript - compatible with YouTube, Vimeo, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and most other platforms and editors.
Do my credits expire if I finish the project and have minutes left over?
Credits never expire. Leftover minutes from one project carry over to the next, with no deadline to use them by and no risk of losing what you paid for.
