Burn Subtitles into Video
Burn Subtitles into Your Video
Bake styled captions straight into your video so they play everywhere, on every platform and player, with no separate subtitle file to switch on. Generate them automatically, style them your way, and export a finished video.
How It Works
Burn In Captions in Three Steps
Go from raw footage to a captioned video with the text baked into the picture, no manual timing required.
Upload Your Video
Drop in an MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM file. The spoken language is detected automatically, or you can set it yourself.
Generate and Style
The speech is transcribed with word-level timing. Choose caption or karaoke highlighting, add a background box, and set the font and size.
Burn In and Export
Render the video with the captions baked into the picture, sized for landscape, square, or vertical.
Capabilities
Permanent Captions, Styled Your Way
Captions that are part of the picture, so they show for every viewer on every platform, with full control over how they look.
Always Visible
Burned-in captions are part of the video, so they show on every platform and player without the viewer turning anything on.
Word-Level Timing
Every word gets a precise start and end time, so the captions stay in sync with the speech even on fast-paced footage.
Caption or Karaoke Highlighting
Show each line as a clean caption, or highlight every word as it is spoken for a karaoke effect that holds attention.
Background Boxes
Add a background behind the text so captions stay readable over bright or busy footage.
Any Aspect Ratio
Export the captioned video for landscape, square, or vertical, sized for the platform you are posting to.
Sidecar Too
Prefer to keep a separate file as well? Export an SRT or VTT alongside the burned-in version from the same project.
Before You Burn In
Get It Right Before You Render
Burned-in captions become part of the picture, so they cannot be edited once rendered. A quick pass before you export saves a re-render later.
Edit the words
Fix wording, casing, and punctuation now. After burn-in, the text is baked into every frame.
Check the timing
Play the captions against the video so each line lands with the speech before you commit.
Lock the style
Set the font, size, and placement so captions stay readable over your footage on every scene.
Keep a backup
Also export an SRT, or keep the original video, in case you need a clean version or different text later.
Exports
Export to Any Format
Burn captions into the video, and still export a sidecar file, an After Effects project, or a transparent overlay from the same project.

FAQ
Common Questions
Burning in subtitles renders the caption text permanently into the video picture, so it is part of the footage itself. Unlike a separate SRT file, burned-in captions always show and cannot be turned off by the viewer.
Burned-in subtitles are part of the video and always visible on every platform. A separate SRT file sits alongside the video and can be toggled on or off, but only where the player supports it. Voice Creator Pro can do either, or both from the same project.
