FAQ
MOV subtitle generator FAQs
Do I need to convert MOV to MP4 before uploading?
No. CapsAI accepts MOV files directly. The QuickTime container is handled natively during transcription and rendering.
Will the output still be in MOV format?
The burned-in subtitle export is MP4 (widely compatible). If you need MOV output, export the SRT file and reimport it into Final Cut or QuickTime.
Does this work with ProRes MOV files?
Yes, as long as the file is under 500MB and 10 minutes. ProRes audio tracks are extracted and transcribed normally.
Can I subtitle MOV files recorded on iPhone?
Yes. iPhone .mov files are the most common use case. Upload directly after AirDrop or from your camera roll backup.
What Indian languages are supported for MOV subtitles?
Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, and English - the same languages as all CapsAI subtitle tools.
