Expand your audience by letting viewers read along in French.
Get startedThese companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Open a new workspace in Descript and import your video file by dragging-and-dropping it in. You’ll be prompted to generate a transcription. Select French to instantly add French captions to video files of almost any format.
02
Once the transcription is done, insert captions onto your video. Pick a style that suits your brand: change fonts, colors, or text effects. Feel free to reposition your captions anywhere on screen. No fussing with complicated menus—just simple, prompt-based customization.
03
Review your video for pacing and accuracy. If necessary, edit any misheard phrases in the transcript. Then choose an export option—from publishing a digital file to generating a shareable link. Your video is now ready to roll with crisp, synchronized French captions.

Don’t worry about obscure file formats. Drop in MP4s, MOVs, and more, then add French captions to video content seamlessly.

Craft on-brand captions that stand out—or blend in. Adjust alignment, size, or color so the French subtitles match your vibe.

French captions can boost watch-through rates for global audiences. They’ll stay engaged—even when their sound is off.
Descript extends beyond captioning to supercharge your editing experience.
Quickly convert English text to French if you need to add French captions to video you recorded in another language.
Let the tool detect who’s speaking, so viewers know exactly who’s saying what in your French captions.
Automatically spot “um” and “uh” in your dialogue and remove them from the captions, so nothing distracts your audience.
Export your video with embedded captions or as separate subtitle files you can upload anywhere.
With a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating and a bunch of distinctions on G2, Descript’s users have declared it an industry standard in the video and podcasting world.
