How to Add SRT to MPEG

Adding SRT subtitles to your MPEG videos can enhance accessibility and viewer engagement. Here's how you can do it using Descript.

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 to Descript by simply dragging and dropping it into the project window. Descript will automatically begin transcribing your video.

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

4) Choose the export format under "Subtitles" to ensure your subtitles are in the correct format.

5) Finally, verify that the subtitle file was exported correctly by checking that the file name ends with .srt.

Note: SRT is a text format and cannot be converted to video formats such as MP4 and MP3.
