Its own track, under the original

Ask for Spanish captions under English narration, or any other pair. The translation goes on a track of its own, so you can keep both languages or show one.

Styled like the rest

Pick one of 14 built-in looks or describe your own, then change the font, size, color, background or animation in the Adjust tab. Save a look as a preset and use it in every language.

Every line is yours to fix

Each translated line is text with its timing. Fix a word, split a line that runs long, or ask chat for spell check and natural line breaks.

Burned in, or an SRT per language

Export the video with the translated captions burned in for the feed, or a Caption SRT file for each language for YouTube and anywhere else that takes subtitles.

Just say it

Type what you want the way you'd tell an editor. These are the kind of prompts that work.

  • Prompt: Add Spanish captions under the English ones, in the same style

  • Prompt: Translate these captions into Korean, one short line at a time

  • Prompt: Show the English and French captions together, French a size smaller

  • Prompt: Translate to German, but leave Selects, Premiere and the product names in English

How it works

  1. Drop in your video and caption it

  2. Name the language

  3. Check the lines, then export

FAQ

How do I translate video subtitles?
  1. Drop your video into Selects, analyze it and add captions in the Captions app.
  2. Click Ask chat, choose Translate captions and type the language you want.
  3. The translation lands on its own track under the original. Fix any line, then export.
Which languages can I translate captions into?

You type the language you want, rather than picking from a menu. Selects doesn't publish a fixed list for caption translation.

Captions can be made from footage in any of the 90+ languages Selects transcribes.

Can I export translated subtitles as an SRT file?

Yes. Export a Caption SRT file for each language. Translated captions are also burned into any video you export.

Can Selects translate the voice too?

Yes, as a separate step. The Translate tab in the Generate audio app re-voices a clip of up to 5 minutes in any of 29 languages. It's a generation feature, so it runs on credits.

What happens to the translation if I change the cut?

Regenerate the captions so they follow the new cut, then translate again. Regenerating resets your caption edits and translations, so make big cut changes first and translate last.

Do translated captions carry over to Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve?

The text and timing do when you turn on Include captions in the handoff, and you choose which language to send. The styling stays in Selects, so restyle them in your editor.
