• Can I generate subtitles from audio only?

  Yes. Upload any audio file: MP3, WAV, podcast recordings, interview audio, and voice memos. VEED will automatically transcribe and generate subtitles from the audio. It works the same way as video: select ‘Auto Subtitle,’ choose your language, and download the SRT, VTT, or TXT file when done.

• Is VEED’s auto subtitle generator free?

  The auto subtitle generator is free to start. Upgrade to a paid plan to subtitle longer videos and download subtitle files. A Creator plan starts at $20/month. Check our pricing page for more information.

• How do I make animated subtitles?

  In the subtitle editor, select the subtitle track and choose an animation style. Options include box highlights and dynamic subtitles that move in sync with your spoken audio — great for Reels, TikToks, and video ads. Click ‘Edit’ on a preset to adjust fonts, colors, and animation.

• How do I add aesthetic subtitles to my video?

  1. Upload your video to VEED and select ‘Auto Subtitle’ to generate captions automatically.

  3. Customize the font, color, size, and background until it looks the way you want.

• How do I generate an SRT file from a video?

  1. Upload your video to VEED.
  2. Select the clip and click the ‘Subtitles’ section. Choose the language being spoken and select ‘Add translation’ if needed.
  3. Generate subtitles, then click the settings > Download in the subtitles menu.
  4. Download the SRT file, or export the video with your subtitles burned in.

• What are closed captions vs. subtitles?

  • Subtitles transcribe spoken dialogue for viewers who prefer reading along or are watching in a different language.
  • Closed captions go further. They also include non-verbal audio elements like [music playing] or [applause] for viewers who can't hear the audio at all. Closed captions can be switched on or off by the viewer.
