Choose your export based on where the video is going. A captioned video is ready to watch; a subtitle file lets another player or editor display the words separately.
Captioned video: text inside the picture
Use a video export when you want the caption design to stay with the footage. Viewers see the same fonts, colors and placement you chose. It is a practical option for a social post. Text baked into the image cannot be switched off or restyled as a separate track later, so keep your original project.
SRT: a simple timed transcript
An SRT file contains numbered caption blocks, timestamps and text. Use it when your editing or publishing tool asks for SubRip subtitles. Do not expect the app’s full animated caption design to travel with this text file; the destination controls how it appears.
VTT: subtitles for web video
WebVTT also pairs text with timing. It is designed for web text tracks, including HTML video. The destination player determines which presentation features it supports. Check its upload requirements before choosing a format.
Export from AI Captions
Generate and review your captions, then choose the video, SRT or VTT export offered by the app. Import the result into the destination tool and check synchronization from the beginning to the end. If you trim or rearrange the video afterward, the subtitle timing may need to be updated.
