SubRip Subtitle File (SRT)

SubRip (.SRT) files are ubiquitous, but manual editing can be tedious. Streamlabs Podcast Editor simplifies this with an intuitive, Google‑Docs‑like editor that integrates AI transcription and precise timing controls.

#1: Upload Your Video

Sign up for Streamlabs Podcast Editor—free and browser‑based—at streamlabs.com. Upload your video and let the editor do the heavy lifting.

#2: Refine the Transcribed Text

The editor auto‑transcribes your video, achieving roughly 98% accuracy. Review the text and correct any mis‑recognitions. Each edit updates the underlying SRT file in real time.

Pro tip: Use the arrow keys to navigate swiftly through the transcript. To control sentence breaks, toggle Show subtitle breaks in the top menu and drag the little triangles to set each subtitle’s duration.

#3: Export Your Subtitles

Once satisfied, click the Export button, select Subtitles, and download your .SRT file. You can also export as .VTT or .TXT for broader compatibility.

#4: Typical Use‑Cases for SRT Files

Apply your subtitles to any major platform—LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo—by uploading the .SRT file alongside your video. Viewers can toggle subtitles on or off, preserving a flexible viewing experience. If you need advanced video editing, simply import the SRT into your preferred editor.

Editing Burned‑In Subtitles

Burned‑in subtitles are permanently embedded in the video frame. Streamlabs Podcast Editor’s workflow remains the same: edit the transcript, correct errors, and render the video with captions baked in. This is ideal when you want subtitles that cannot be disabled.
