Transcribe, customize, and export captioned videos in one place with Descript. Start from a template or create your own branded caption style for videos viewers will watch until the end. Descript makes it easy to generate captioned video content to fuel TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other social media channels to improve your content’s accessibility.
Get started ->
Import your video into Descript to automatically generate a transcript complete with speaker labels and timestamps. From there, you can edit the transcribed text, remove filler words, and highlight specific moments to turn into captioned video clips.
With your transcript ready, you can select Captions under the Text menu to add subtitles to your video, which are automatically synced with the audio. Customize your animated captions’ font, colors, and style, or choose from dozens of templates you can apply.
Go to the Publish tab to export your captioned video as a download, or to another platform like YouTube or Wistia. You can also export standalone SRT or VTT files you can upload to other video editing or hosting platforms to add soft subtitles.
