Premiere Transcript to VTT FAQ
Can I just rename .prtranscript to .vtt?
No. A .prtranscript is Premiere's static transcript JSON, not caption text, so a rename won't work. This converter reads the transcript segments and writes a standards-compliant .vtt with millisecond timing.
Why convert a Premiere transcript to WebVTT?
WebVTT is the caption format the web expects — HTML5 <track> elements, streaming players, and web video generally. Converting turns the transcript you already made in Premiere into captions for the web with no manual retiming.
Do I need to retime anything after converting?
No. Every transcript segment is mapped to a WebVTT cue with millisecond timing taken from the transcript itself.
What if my player only accepts SRT?
Use the Premiere transcript to SRT converter at /prtranscript/srt — it turns the same static transcript JSON into clean, timed SRT subtitles you can use anywhere SRT is accepted.
Is it free?
Free to start. Guests convert up to 3 files per batch at up to 1 MB each; a free account raises that to 5 files and 30 conversions a month, and paid plans support 20 MB files and larger batches.

Questions, answered
Where are my files processed?
Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted on CutConvert’s servers, then handed straight back to you as a download. We never sell or share your media.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you’ll create an account and upgrade — which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.
What do I get when I convert multiple files?
Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you simply get that one file — no unnecessary ZIP.
Which formats are supported?
You can convert EDL to CSV; SRT and VTT subtitles to each other and to plain text; SRT, TXT, and DOCX/DOC transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON; SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT; and Premiere Pro .prtranscript exports to SRT, VTT, or text — with speaker labels preserved. More post-production formats are on the way.
Can I pick a frame rate?
Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
