How to make captions and save SRT
Subtitles can be a separate timed text file or captions visible in the video itself. Choose the output you need before exporting.
Read the instructions ↗What to check before exporting a video
Previewing one scene is not the same as watching the whole video. Review these points after editing, then check the exported file.
Meaning and consistency
Will a person be able to understand the video without the original recording? Is there an introductory, complete thought and the necessary conditions? Make sure that the phrase permutation did not change the output, and the reduction did not remove the "not" particle or an important exception.
The beginning and the end of each scene
Listen to the glues at normal speed. The beginning of the word should not break off, the ending should disappear, or an instant insertion of an adjacent frame should appear. A long pause is sometimes justified: do not delete it just for the sake of shorter timekeeping.
Captions and captions
Check the names, numbers and terms. Check the match of the text with the voice, hyphenation, contrast and reading time. The inscription should not cover a significant detail. After rearranging the scenes, re-check the words near the glues.
Cropping
In the vertical format, examine the beginning, middle, and end of the scene. The face, hands, object, and elements of the displayed interface must remain visible. If the entire screen is important for the instructions, use margins instead of close cropping.
Voice and music
Listen to the video with headphones and through a regular speaker. The words should remain understandable under the music, and the change of scenes should not be accompanied by an unexpected jump in volume. Check that you have deliberately chosen to save or mute the original sound.
The finished file
After exporting, open MP4, rewind to several scenes and watch the finale. Check the orientation, duration, sound and text. If you download SRT separately, take the file of this version of the export, and not the old video editing.
Before posting
Check the rights to the materials used and the terms of the selected site. Watch its preview: the interface can cover the bottom of the frame. This list helps to find errors, but does not guarantee the number of views or editorial quality of any source footage.

You will need an account and your video. Processing will begin only after confirmation in the project wizard.
Next steps
Choose an aspect ratio without losing what matters
Aspect ratio describes the shape of your frame, resolution describes its pixel dimensions, and MP4 is a file container. These are separate settings.

A useful brief explains what viewers should understand and which parts of your footage support it. It cannot replace missing footage or guarantee a perfect first edit.
