Frequently asked questions
Can I upload the captions as a separate SRT file to YouTube?
Yes. ClipMint exports SRT (and VTT) files you can upload to YouTube as captions, or you can export an MP4 with the subtitles burned in.
Can I edit the subtitles before exporting?
Absolutely. You can fix any word, adjust timing, and restyle captions in the editor before you export. You stay in control of every line.
How fast is it?
Generation is near-instant. Most clips are processed in under a minute, and a 10-minute video typically takes 30–45 seconds to produce word-level subtitles.
Is it free to start?
Yes. Every new account includes 18 free credits and no credit card is required — enough to subtitle up to 9 minutes of video with unlimited free local exports, or subtitle and cloud-export a 2-minute video.
