How to Export Captions as an SRT File from VEED

Burned-in captions are great for social, but platforms like YouTube prefer a separate subtitle file so viewers can toggle them and search engines can read them. VEED lets you export your captions as an SRT. This guide shows how.

• A VEED project that already has auto subtitles generated
• A place to save the .srt file
• Optionally, a YouTube video to attach it to

Step 1: Confirm your captions exist

Open the Subtitles panel and check that the timed lines are present and corrected. The SRT export reflects exactly what is in this list, so fix any errors first.

Step 2: Open the subtitle options menu

At the top of the Subtitles panel click the three-dot or Options menu. You will see Download Subtitles. Selecting it opens a format chooser.

Step 3: Pick SRT and download

Select .srt and click Download. The file saves to your computer. SRT is the most widely supported caption format, accepted by YouTube, Vimeo, and most players.

Step 4: Inspect the file

An SRT is plain text. Each cue has an index, a start and end timestamp, and the caption text. You can open it in any text editor to verify the timing or make a quick correction.

First open the settings menu

00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:07,800
then click on integrations

Step 5: Upload to YouTube

In YouTube Studio open your video, go to Subtitles, choose Add language, then Upload file, select With timing, and pick your SRT. Save and the captions become toggleable on the public video.

Result: one VEED transcription now serves as burned captions for social and a clean SRT for YouTube, with no retyping.
