How do the animated subtitles work?

AI transcribes your audio with word-level timestamps, then burns stylized subtitles directly onto the video.

Can I customize the subtitle style?

Yes! Choose from 20+ styles, custom colors, fonts, sizes, and positions. Pro users get full customization.

Are the subtitles burned into the video?

Yes, subtitles are permanently burned (hardcoded) into the video. This ensures they display on all platforms.

What quality is the output?

Free users get 720p with a subtle watermark. Pro users get full HD/4K with no watermark.

Can I add subtitles to a TikTok video?

Absolutely! Upload your video, get subtitles added automatically, and re-upload to TikTok with eye-catching animated text.

How long does it take?

About 2-5 minutes for a 5-minute video. The AI transcription is the longest step.

Can I edit the AI-generated subtitles before burning?

Pro users can review and edit the transcript before the final burn. For quick corrections, download the SRT via our transcription tool, edit it, then burn with the subtitle burn tool.

Do subtitles work with vertical video?

Absolutely. The subtitle engine adapts to any aspect ratio — 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, or 16:9. If you need to reframe a horizontal video first, try our smart reframe tool.

What is the difference between this tool and the subtitle burn tool?

This tool handles everything end-to-end: transcription, styling, and burning. The animated subtitle burn tool is for users who already have an SRT file and want full control over fonts, colors, and positions.

Can I add subtitles in a different language than the audio?

The tool transcribes in the automatically detected language. For translated subtitles, first export the transcription as SRT, translate the file, then re-import it into our subtitle burn-in tool.
