- How to convert SRT to TXT quickly and easily.
So you want to convert a subtitles file
into a plain text format
without all of the time codes and other effects.
In this video, I'm going to show you how
and if you don't already have an SRT file
I'm going to show you how to automatically generate
a transcription of your video
which you can then download into a subtitle file
in the simplest way possible.
So stick around for that.
Let's start by converting SRT to TXT.
First things first in my internet browser,
I'm going to head over to veed.io,
which is an online video editor
with some great subtitling tools.
If you haven't got an account, you can create one for free.
And then on the homepage
you can select Upload Your Video, then Upload a File.
And then I'm going to upload my audio or video file
but I have an SRT file four
by selecting it here and hitting Open.
And now once it's uploaded, you'll see my video clip sitting
at the bottom of the screen in the video timeline.
And now I'm going to upload my SRT file.
To do that I'm going to go over to Subtitles
on the left-hand toolbar
and then from these options in the menu
I'm going to select Upload Subtitle File
then I'm going to select my SRT file
from my computer and hit Open.
And as you can see, the editors automatically added
my SRT file as subtitles on top of my video.
Now over on the left-hand side in these text boxes
I can manually go through them
and change any wording or spelling mistakes I may have made.
And when that's done, you're ready to export as a TXT file.
At the top of the subtitles menu
I'm going to select the Options tab
and down here under Downloads Subtitles
you'll see a dropdown menu and by selecting it,
you can see that we can choose from SRT, VTT or TXT
as the video suggests I'm going to select the TXT Format
and then head to this download icon next to the menu
and hit it, which will download my TXT file to my computer.
And if we open it up
you can see that we have a plain text document
with some transcribed subtitles inside.
Now, if you don't already have a subtitles file
you can use Veed to automatically generate one for you.
All you need to do is use the same steps
to upload your audio or video file like before
and once you're inside the editor
go back to the Subtitles menu once again
but this time select Auto Transcribe
and now from this drop down menu
I'm going to select which language I speak in the video,
which is English, and then hit Start.
And once it's done, you'll see that the editor
has automatically transcribed my video
on the left-hand side
and it's placed the subtitles
on top of my video in the timeline.
So once again, we can change any spelling mistakes
or wording that Veed has picked up incorrectly.
There's one little mistake here
so I'm just going to correct it like so
and if you want to change any of the timing
so when your subtitles appear in the video
just go down to the video timeline
select the text box that you want to change
and then just click and drag the ends of the clips like so
to change the timings of your subtitles.
If you want to burn your subtitles into your video
you might want to change how they look.
To do that I'm going to go back to the Subtitles menu
and select the Styles tab
and in here I can change the font
I can change the size
I can change the color of my text
and if I scroll down, I can choose from these presets
which give my subtitles some really cool looks.
And on the video canvas
you can also click and drag your subtitles
to wherever you want them to be within the frame
and by clicking and dragging the corners like so
you can also change the size
and the shape of the text box.
Now, when you're done, go back to the Subtitles menu
and select Options and then under Download Subtitles
we can once again click the drop down menu
and select which format
we want to download our subtitles in,
in this case we're going to choose SRT
and then hit download
and the SRT file is now downloaded to my computer.
Or if you want to add the subtitles directly
onto your video,
just go to the top right-hand corner of the editor
and hit Export and then in this menu
make sure the Burn Subtitles option is turned on
then we'll select Export Video
and Veed will now render our final file.
When it's done, you can review your video on the next page
by clicking Play like so.
Hello guys Ryan here,
the editor is now adding subtitles
to my video, automatically.
And if you're happy just select Download MP4
on the right-hand side
which will download your finished video to your computer.
And that is how the SRT to TXT
and also how to so generate subtitles for your video.
