Choose a file format
| Format | Use | What it contains |

| SRT | A destination that asks for SubRip subtitles | Numbered text cues with start and end timestamps. |
| WebVTT | A web player or destination that accepts VTT | A WEBVTT header and timed text cues. |
Use the file with the matching version
Caption times refer to the edited output, not the original recording. Re-export after a revision changes speech, scene timing or wording. Keep the MP4 and subtitle file together under a version name in your delivery folder.
What is and is not exported
The file uses stored caption words, including authored caption wording when it is part of the saved caption program. It is not a verbatim transcript of every source recording. Styling, animated entrances, fonts, colours and word highlighting remain in the rendered video and are not reproduced by a plain subtitle file.
If Subtitles is absent
Some older or custom edits do not contain usable caption timing metadata. Shorty does not guess a transcript from title cards or automatically transcribe the MP4 through this control. Request a captioned edit and inspect it, or prepare a timed file in your transcription workflow.
Check for duplicate captions
If captions are already visible in the MP4, enabling a separate subtitle track may show two sets of text. Decide whether your destination needs the burned-in version, a clean video with a separate track, or both as separate deliverables.
