Add Dutch Captions to Video in 2025: The Ultimate Guide

How to add Dutch captions to video

01
Upload or record your video
Start by creating a new project and bringing in your footage. You can either record a fresh video or simply drag your existing file into a project. This process sets you up for a full transcript you can later convert into Dutch captions.
02
Generate and edit your transcript
Allow the platform to generate a transcript of your video’s audio. Clean up any recognized text that’s off-base, fix speaker names if needed, and ensure the transcript is set to Dutch if you want direct Dutch captions. This ensures your final captions look perfect and match every spoken word.
03
Add captions and style them
Enable captions within your project and choose a design that fits your brand or personal preference. From animated styles to static text blocks, you have full control. Tweak the font, color, and positioning to create the perfect Dutch subtitles. Export or share once everything’s just right.

Questions? We have answers

Can I edit the transcript before creating Dutch captions?
Absolutely. Once your video is transcribed, you can fix or rephrase text so your Dutch captions appear exactly as intended.
How do I ensure timing stays aligned when I remove sections?
When you cut or trim parts of the video, the captions update to match the new timeline. That way, every sentence stays in sync, no matter how you edit your video.
Are there style customization options for Dutch subtitles?
Yes. You can customize fonts, colors, background, text size, and even animate the captions to your liking. Consistency is key, so your finished video looks professional.
