How to subtitle file generator
- 1
Upload your video
Drag and drop your video file directly into CentClip - no account needed to get started. We support common formats including MP4, MOV, and WebM. Your first 5 minutes of processing are completely free.
- 2
Choose your language
Select from 50+ supported languages so the transcription engine knows what to listen for. CentClip transcribes speech - it does not translate - so pick the language actually spoken in your video. Processing typically completes in a fraction of the video's running time.

Download your subtitle file
Once processing finishes, download your subtitle file in SRT or VTT format for use in video editors, streaming platforms, or social media tools. You can also grab a plain-text transcript or export an MP4 with burned-in captions if you need a single ready-to-share file.
Why choose CentClip?
Precisely timed subtitle files without manual work
Creating subtitle files by hand means scrubbing through footage, typing every line, and setting in and out points one by one - a process that easily takes 5-10x the video's running time. CentClip generates timestamps automatically, so a 10-minute video produces a fully timed SRT or VTT file in roughly a minute. The result drops straight into Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, YouTube, or any platform that accepts standard subtitle formats. You get accurate timecodes without touching a single timestamp yourself.
SRT and VTT files that work everywhere
Different platforms expect different subtitle formats - YouTube prefers SRT, web video players often need VTT, and some editors want both. CentClip exports all of them from the same transcription run, so you are not re-processing to get a second format. Plain-text transcripts are also included if you need to repurpose the spoken content for blog posts, show notes, or caption review. One upload, every format you need.
No subscription means no wasted spend on quiet months
Most captioning tools charge a monthly flat fee whether you caption one video or twenty. CentClip is strictly pay-as-you-go at 5 cents per minute, and credits you buy never expire. If you only have a few videos this month and nothing next month, you pay for exactly those minutes and nothing more. That model suits freelancers, small teams, and anyone whose captioning workload is uneven across the year.
FAQ
How accurate are the subtitle files CentClip generates?
Accuracy depends on audio clarity and speaker pacing, but CentClip performs well on clean recordings - most users report only minor corrections needed. For best results, use video with minimal background noise and clear speech.
Is there a free trial, and what does it cost after that?
Your first 5 minutes of captioning are free with no account required. After that, CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no subscription - buy credits when you need them.
What subtitle file formats does CentClip support, and where can I use them?
CentClip exports SRT and VTT files, accepted by YouTube, Vimeo, most video editors, and virtually all streaming platforms. You can also download a plain-text transcript or an MP4 with burned-in captions.
Do my credits expire if I don't use them right away?
No - credits never expire. Buy a batch when you have a project and use the remainder whenever your next project comes up, with no deadline attached.
