Video to SRT
OpusClip transcribes your video and gives you the subtitles as a .srt file, the format YouTube and other video platforms accept. Pro plan users download it from the result page or from My projects, under the More menu.
Two options sit behind that one menu: Download Transcript gives a .txt file, Download Subtitles gives the .srt.
Why pull SRT from OpusClip
Two clicks, not a conversion job
Open the project, click More, click Download Subtitles. The .srt is generated from the transcript we already made for your captions.
Your own SRT is welcome too
If you already have a working subtitle file, upload it during submission and we use it to generate captions instead of the transcript we would normally create.
Editing tools get the file too
Export to Premiere Pro or DaVinci and you also receive a .srt with timestamps, so you can restyle captions in your own timeline.
Subtitle files platforms accept
Download Subtitles produces a standard .srt, compatible with YouTube and other video platforms. Download Transcript next to it produces a plain .txt when you need the words without timings.

Bring the captions you already approved
Click Upload SRT in the clip settings after you drop your link or file. Once the upload finishes, your SRT generates the captions, which matters when transcript accuracy is already settled on your side.

Hand off to an editor cleanly
The Premiere Pro and DaVinci exports include an .xml of the generated clip plus a .srt with timestamps. Our animated caption styles arrive there as overlays and cannot be edited, so finish caption styling in OpusClip first.

What the subtitle export includes
Standard .srt export
Subtitles download as a standard .srt file from the result page and from My projects.
.txt transcript export
Download Transcript gives the words as a plain text file when timings are not needed.
Upload your own SRT
Add your file with Upload SRT in clip settings, before you click Get clips in 1 click.
Format checks on upload
Your SRT has to follow standard SRT format. Incomplete subtitle blocks are the most common reason a file is rejected.
Premiere and DaVinci bundles
Timeline exports include an .xml of the generated clip plus a .srt with timestamps for the captions.
Fix wording before export
Click any word or segment in the transcript to edit it inline, and the change shows in both the transcript and the video.
Over 20 languages
OpusClip supports videos in more than 20 languages. Languages that read right to left are not supported.
Timed text over the API
The transcripts endpoint returns paragraphs with start and end times in seconds, text and per-word timings for your own tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I export an SRT from a video in OpusClip?
Open the project result page or My projects, click More, then Download Subtitles, and you get a .srt file. Download Transcript in the same menu gives a .txt instead.
Do I need a paid plan to download subtitles?
Yes. Our help centre documents transcript and subtitle downloads as a Pro plan feature, available from the result page and from My projects.
Can I use my own subtitle file instead?
Yes. Click Upload SRT in the clip settings after you add your video, and we use your file to generate captions rather than the transcript we would normally create.
Why was my SRT rejected?
Usually the file is not in standard SRT format. Each block needs its number, a timestamp line and the caption text, so incomplete subtitle blocks are the first thing to check.
