Add Subtitles to Video

1) Sign up for Descript for free. You get one free hour of transcription per month, and no credit card is required.

2) Upload your video by dragging and dropping it into the project window. Descript will automatically begin transcribing your video.

3) After the transcription is complete, click on "Underlord." Type "Subtitles" into the search bar and select "Export Subtitles..."

4) Choose your preferred export format under the "Subtitles" section.

5) Ensure the subtitle file was exported correctly by checking that the file name ends with .vtt or .srt.

Note: Subtitles are a text format and cannot be converted to video formats like MP4 or MP3.
