Can FlashCut export subtitles as an SRT file?

Yes. FlashCut generates an SRT from the transcript of your edit, with each caption re-timed to the edited timeline. Import it into Premiere Pro, another editor, or a video platform that accepts SRT captions.

Do SRT captions match my edited cut or the original footage?

Your edited cut. Words you removed do not appear, and each caption is re-timed to the edit’s timeline, so the SRT lines up with the exported video or the XML timeline rather than with the raw footage.

Can I burn captions into the video instead?

Yes. Choose a caption preset in FlashCut and export an MP4, which renders the styled captions into the picture. Use SRT when you want a separate file that viewers or platforms can toggle.

Export SRT caption files from FlashCut

FlashCut exports captions as an SRT file generated from the transcript of your edit. Caption timings follow your edited timeline rather than the original footage, so they line up with the cut wherever you import them: Premiere Pro, another editor, or a video platform that accepts SRT.

How FlashCut builds the captions

FlashCut transcribes your footage with speaker labels. When you export SRT, it takes the words that remain in your edit, groups them into short caption cues, and re-times each cue to the edited timeline. Words you cut do not appear, and the gaps you removed do not leave dead air between cues. Filler words and silences are left out, and when speakers are labeled each cue starts with the speaker’s name, so check that before you import the file into a platform that shows cue text as is.

Cues are kept short so they read comfortably on screen, at roughly seven words or five seconds at most.

SRT or burned-in captions?

SRT is a separate text file, so the viewer’s player or the platform controls how the captions look, and you can turn them off. To bake styled captions into the picture, use FlashCut’s caption presets and export an MP4 instead.
