Step by step

  1. Open Export and pick a subtitle format

    Click Export. SRT works in YouTube, Premiere, CapCut and most players, VTT is made for websites, and ASS keeps your caption style. Leave Split into captions on to keep lines short and easy to read.

Which format should I use for YouTube?

SRT. Upload it in YouTube Studio under Subtitles, and the timing matches your video.
