Get your caption file ready before opening the editor
Tell the assistant which CapCut workflow you are using and what source file you have. Prepare the timed text first, then test the import in your installed version.
Try this in the assistantThis guide is in English. The assistant supports 83 interface languages.
Start with a useful file handoff
Ask for an SRT when your editing workflow supports subtitle-file import. Keep the original timing data in case you need to revise line grouping later. Import options can differ between desktop, mobile and web versions, so confirm the features available in your own editor.
Decide whether captions should remain editable
An imported subtitle file leaves you room to change text and styling in the editor. Captions burned into a video are already part of the picture and cannot be toggled off as a separate track. Choose the output based on what your next editor needs.
Test the beginning, middle and end
Trims and speed changes can make a previously correct subtitle file drift. Check several clear phrases against the final edit and describe any pattern to the assistant. For new word-level lyric alignment, begin in LyricTimestamps.
Questions about this workflow
Does the assistant control CapCut?
No. It prepares and explains files for you to use in your own editing workflow.
Does an SRT create karaoke highlighting?
SRT is a cue-based caption format. Word-by-word highlighting needs suitable timing data and a renderer that supports it.
What if my version cannot import subtitle files?
Check the options available in that version. A video with captions already burned in can be another handoff, but those captions will no longer be a separate editable track.
