How do I convert a TXT file to SRT?

Paste the text or drop the .txt file above, choose whether each sentence or each line becomes a subtitle, and download the .srt. Blank lines in your text start a new paragraph and never join two subtitles together.

Will the timings match my video?

Only roughly. Plain text has no timing, so subtitles are spaced by reading speed from the start time you set. Set Start at to where the talking begins, import the file into your editor or YouTube and nudge the timings to the speech.

How long should a subtitle be?

Common guidelines allow up to 42 characters per line and two lines per subtitle, read at about 17 characters per second, with each subtitle on screen for 1 to 7 seconds. Those are the defaults here.

How do I import the SRT into my editor or YouTube?

Premiere Pro: File › Import, then drag the captions onto the sequence. Final Cut Pro: File › Import › Captions. DaVinci Resolve: import the file into the Media Pool and drag it onto the timeline. YouTube: Studio › Subtitles › Upload file › With timing.
