How-toFree CapCut auto captions: make an SRT and import it
Short answer: CapCut's auto captions are Pro-only, but CapCut desktop and web can import a subtitle file. Make the captions in the free Offline Captions web version (clips up to 5 minutes, runs in your browser), download the SRT, and import it into CapCut. Or skip the import and export the video with captions already burned in.
Step by step
Download the SRT
Click SRT. The file keeps every caption line and its timing.
Import into CapCut
In CapCut desktop or web, import the SRT as captions, then style it there. The phone app does not import subtitle files.
Or skip CapCut for captions
If you only used CapCut for captions, export the MP4 from Offline Captions with one of four animated styles already burned in. The desktop app does any length and whole batches for $39 once. More options in the CapCut alternatives roundup.
