Long video in, short clips out
Subtitle a video automatically
Subtitles are not only an accessibility feature. They are what holds a viewer who is watching with the sound off, on a commute or in a waiting room — which is to say, most of the people who will ever see your clip.
Transcribe, then correct
MomentCut transcribes the audio and splits the text into cues aligned to speech. Automatic transcription is strong on clean audio, but it always stumbles on the same things: names, brands, acronyms, trade jargon.
That is why correction happens before export, cue by cue. Two minutes of proofreading is usually enough, and it saves you the comment that points at the typo instead of the point.
Burned in, or as a separate file
Burned-in subtitles are baked into the picture: they show everywhere, regardless of the viewer’s settings or the platform. For short form, that is the default choice.
MomentCut also gives you the SRT file, which is useful if you publish the long version on YouTube, if you want the text translated, or if you prefer to upload subtitles separately.
Style matters
Several styles are available, from a plain caption at the bottom of the frame to word-by-word display that follows the voice. The second holds attention better on short-form platforms; the first ages better. You can change font, colour and size, and see the result before exporting.
- Several subtitle templates, including word-by-word sync
- Font, colour and position options
- Vertical preview that matches the final render
- Downloadable .srt alongside the video
Upload a video and watch the captions lock onto the voice.
Common questions
How accurate is it?
On clear speech and a clean recording, transcription is accurate in the large majority of cases. Errors cluster around proper nouns and specialist vocabulary, which take seconds to fix before export.
Are subtitles translated?
Transcription renders the language spoken in the video. To publish in another language, export the SRT file and have it translated.
Can I import my own subtitles?
Yes. If you already have an SRT file, you can import it and skip the transcription step.
