Add SRT to MP4

FAQ

• How do I add an SRT file to an MP4 video?

  1. Upload your MP4 to VEED.
  2. Go to Subtitles and select Upload Subtitle File to add your SRT.
  3. You can edit the text, adjust timing, and style the subtitles before you export.

  VEED burns the subtitles directly into the video file. The result is a single MP4 with subtitles permanently embedded; no separate SRT file needed.

• What's the difference between hardcoded and soft subtitles?

  • Soft subtitles are stored as a separate file (like an SRT) that a media player loads alongside the video. Viewers can turn them on or off, but they won't show up if the player doesn't support them.
  • Hardcoded subtitles are burned directly into the video itself, so they're always visible regardless of platform or player.

  VEED lets you do both: permanently add subtitles to video, or download your subtitles as a separate SRT file.

• Can I edit my subtitles before burning them into the video?

  Yes. Once you upload your SRT file to VEED, each subtitle line appears as an editable text box. You can fix typos, adjust timing, change the font, color, and size, and reposition subtitles on screen. All edits are applied before export, so the burned-in subtitles reflect the styling you set.

• How do I translate subtitles before exporting?

  1. After uploading your SRT file, select Translate from the Subtitles menu and choose your target language.
  2. VEED generates the translation and applies it to your subtitle track.
  3. Review and edit the translated lines before you export — useful for catching any terms that need manual adjustment.

• Can I extract subtitles from an MP4 file?

  Yes. Upload your MP4 to VEED and use the auto subtitle generator to transcribe the audio. Once generated, you can edit the transcript and download it as an SRT file. VEED works as both an SRT to MP4 converter and an MP4 to SRT converter.

• Which subtitle and video file formats does VEED support?

  For subtitle uploads, VEED supports SRT and VTT files. For video, it accepts MP4, AVI, MKV, MOV, WMV, and more.

  If you need to add subtitles to an AVI or MKV file, the process is the same as MP4. Upload your video, upload your SRT or VTT file, and export with subtitles burned in.

• Is there a way to automate adding subtitles to videos in bulk?

  Yes. If you need to process multiple videos programmatically, VEED's subtitles API lets you automate the SRT-to-MP4 workflow. Upload videos, attach subtitle files, and export hardcoded output at scale.
