Add free SRT subtitles in VSDC Free Video Editor

Updated 9 November 2026 · by Szymon at szy.monster

VSDC Free Video Editor is a free editor for Windows with a lot of features for its price. One of them is a subtitles object that can load an SRT file. Make the SRT for free with Whisper and VSDC handles the rest.

1. Make the SRT

Open AutoSubtitler, drop in your video and press Make subtitles. Download the .srt. The video stays on your computer.

2. Add a subtitles object

1. Open your project in VSDC with the video on the timeline.
2. Use the Add object menu (or the toolbar on the left) and choose Subtitles.
3. Place the object at the start of your video, then load your .srt file into it. Depending on your version, there's a button for this in the object's properties or in the subtitle editor.

3. Edit and style

Double-click the subtitles object to open its editor, where you can fix lines and timings. The Properties window sets the font, size, colour, outline and position.

4. Export

On the Export project tab, pick a format and export. The subtitles are drawn into the picture. Keep the .srt from step 1 if you also want separate captions for YouTube.

Tips

• Make sure the subtitles object starts at the same time as the video it was made from, or every line will be shifted.
• VSDC's menus differ a little between versions. If you can't find the subtitle option, search VSDC's help for "subtitles".
