Film festivals increasingly require closed captions for short film submissions. Adding subtitles to a short film in editing software is time-consuming — every line needs manual timing adjustment. CaptionFit automates the alignment: paste your script and it snaps the dialogue to the audio in seconds.
Whether you're submitting to Sundance, Tribeca, or a local festival circuit, having a clean SRT file ready is a submission requirement you can now knock out in minutes. For online platforms and YouTube screeners, export a burned-in captioned MP4 instead.
If you're producing content beyond narrative film, see how businesses add closed captions to corporate video for ADA compliance. If you teach filmmaking, check out how course creators caption their instructional videos.
