How to convert SRT to Avid TXT
Convert SRT subtitles into Avid Media Composer caption TXT — the format the SubCap effect's Import Caption Data reads. Choose your timeline frame rate (or let it auto-detect) and CutConvert rewrites every millisecond-timed cue into frame-accurate SubCap caption TXT that Media Composer imports cleanly.
Add your SRT files
Drag your .srt subtitle files onto the drop zone — up to 10 at once — or click to browse.
Pick a frame rate
Choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps to match your timeline, or leave it on auto-detect.
Convert SRT to Avid TXT
Press Convert, then download your Avid caption TXT (or a ZIP for a batch).
SRT file and Avid caption TXT, explained
Media Composer cannot import SRT directly — the SubCap effect reads its own caption TXT format (timecode pairs between <begin subtitles> and <end subtitles> markers, with frames in the last field instead of milliseconds). Bringing web subtitles into an Avid timeline means matching that format and your sequence frame rate; this converter handles both, so captions land on exactly the right frames.
Generate frame-accurate Avid Media Composer caption files from any SRT, at the frame rate your timeline needs. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.
SRT to Avid TXT FAQ
How do I import the converted TXT into Media Composer?
Through the SubCap effect: add an empty video track, drag SubCap from the Effect Palette (Generator category) onto it, enter Effect Mode, expand Caption Files, and click Import Caption Data. The full walkthrough with troubleshooting is in the guide on importing SRT subtitles into Avid Media Composer.
Is this the SubCap caption format?
Yes — the output is the plain-text caption format SubCap imports (sometimes called Avid DS caption TXT): caption blocks between <begin subtitles> and <end subtitles> markers, each with an HH:MM:SS:FF start/end timecode pair.
What frame rates are supported?
You can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps to match your timeline, or leave it on auto-detect and CutConvert will work it out from your source.
Why does frame rate matter for Avid captions?
Avid caption TXT uses frame-accurate timecode, so the output has to match your timeline frame rate for captions to land on exactly the right frames. Pick the wrong rate and captions drift; pick the right one and they import cleanly.
Can I convert a batch of SRT files at once?
Yes — drop several .srt files and download a single ZIP of Avid caption TXT files. 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.
Can I convert Avid caption TXT back to SRT?
Yes — use the TXT to SRT converter at /txt/srt, which reads the timecode and caption text from an Avid caption export and writes a clean, perfectly-timed .srt.
