How to Create an SRT File
The three lines every cue needs
A SubRip cue is a number, then a clock line, then the words. The clock uses a comma before the
milliseconds: 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,000. A blank line separates cues. That is
the whole file. Players read it. Word does not.
If you already have another caption file, do not retype it here.
WebVTT is VTT to SRT.
ASS or SSA is ASS to SRT.
SAMI is SMI to SRT.
A text .sub is SUB to SRT.
Lyrics with only a start time are LRC to SRT.
CapCut’s caption export sometimes fails and only a TXT comes out. That path is on CapCut subtitles to Word. The box above can space those lines. It cannot restore clocks the TXT never had. Once the SRT exists, how to convert SRT to Word is the document step.
Creating an SRT
Line spacing, a draft that already has clocks, and what a TXT cannot restore.
What does one line become?
One cue. The start is where the previous cue ended. The length is the seconds-per-line value, from 0.5 to 30. Blank lines are skipped.
I already pasted a full SRT. What happens to seconds per line?
Nothing. A draft that already has --> clocks is numbered and written back out. The seconds field is only for lines that have no clocks.
Will these times match my video?
Only if you typed the clocks yourself, or the text you pasted already had them. A plain TXT has no clocks. The spacing you choose is not the timing from CapCut or any other editor.
Is the text uploaded?
No. The .srt is built in your browser. See the Privacy Policy.
