Add subtitles to your YouTube Shorts

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?
Fast. Short clips are usually ready quickly, and long videos can take a few minutes. The word-level subtitles land straight in the editor, ready to style.
Can I generate and Cloud Export before creating an account?
Yes. You get 5 free transcription minutes and 5 free Cloud Export minutes before signup. Supported Local Export is also free. Create an account to keep your project and unlock 15 additional transcription minutes and 15 additional Cloud Export minutes that never expire.
