French subtitles without typing

Typing subtitles by hand and syncing every line takes far longer than filming. Most people watch short videos with the sound off, so skipping subtitles costs you views.

GetCapz transcribes French speech word by word and times it to your video. Review the transcript, correct any words and choose a caption style before exporting.

Edit any word on the timeline, pick an animated style, and export a video with subtitles burned in, or an SRT file for YouTube.

French subtitles for a YouTube video

Say you have a short French video and you want burned-in captions for social media, plus a subtitle file for YouTube. One request covers both.

Write French captions for this video, three to five words at a time, with the active word in yellow. I also need the SRT file.

What you get

  1. French captions timed to each word.
  2. A style with the active word highlighted.
  3. An MP4 with captions burned in, for social media.
  4. An SRT file to upload to YouTube.

Tips for French subtitles

  • Speak clearly at the start

    The first seconds set the tone. Clear speech gives the AI better audio to work from.

  • Check accents and agreement

    Read the text once for accents, plurals and homophones, which are easy to mishear in French.

  • Use the mixed option

    If you mix French with Darija and English, choose the mixed language so each word stays as you said it.

  • Pick the right output

    Burned-in captions suit Reels and TikTok. An SRT file suits YouTube, where viewers can turn captions on or off.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting translation

    A French video gets French subtitles. GetCapz does not translate into another language.

  • Noisy audio

    Music or a loud room makes speech harder to write. Clean sound gives cleaner subtitles.

  • Skipping the proofread

    A spelling error in a caption stays on screen for everyone. Read it before you export.
