4. Set position and shadow (optional) — adjust placement and readability.
5. Choose language (optional) — leave it empty for auto-detection, or set a specific locale.
6. Add subtitles source (optional) — provide either srt_content or srt_file_url if you want to use your own subtitles instead of auto-generated ones.

Best Use Cases

• Short-form subtitles — Add captions to reels, shorts, and social media videos.
• Interviews and talking-head content — Improve accessibility and retention with readable subtitles.
• Branded content — Use preset styling to match visual identity.
• Localization workflows — Apply subtitles with a chosen language locale or imported SRT.
• Repurposed media — Turn existing videos into captioned assets for broader distribution.

Pro Tips

• Use language only when you want to force a specific transcription locale; otherwise leave it empty for auto-detection.
• Provide your own srt_content or srt_file_url when timing and wording must stay exact.
• Use 1080p only when you need higher-resolution output, since it doubles the price.
• Try different presets to match the tone of the content, especially for social or branded videos.
• Choose mid or max shadow when subtitles need to remain readable over busy backgrounds.

Notes

• video is required.
• Use either srt_content or srt_file_url, not both.
• target_resolution defaults to 720p.
• position defaults to bottom.
• shadow defaults to mid.
• Billing uses started-minute units, with a minimum of 1 minute.
• 480p and 720p are billed at the same rate, while 1080p is billed at double that rate.
