How HappyScribe Works with Adobe After Effects

Adding subtitles to your Adobe After Effects project takes just a few steps:

  • Upload: Export your video from Adobe After Effects as MP4, MOV, MP3, or WAV — or upload the original file directly. You can also paste a link from Google Drive, Dropbox, or YouTube.

  • Transcribe: Choose AI-generated subtitles for results in under 5 minutes, or human-made subtitles for 99% accuracy within 24 hours. Select from 120+ languages.

Adobe After Effects Native Captions vs HappyScribe

Most video editors include some form of built-in captioning, but they rarely match the speed, accuracy, and language coverage of a dedicated subtitling tool. Adobe After Effects's built-in tools typically support a handful of languages, while HappyScribe supports 120+. Built-in auto-captions are often 70-80% accurate and require heavy manual editing — HappyScribe's AI reaches 85%+, with an optional human service at 99%. And unlike Adobe After Effects's native tools, HappyScribe includes speaker identification, subtitle translation, and batch processing for professional workflows.

SRT is the most popular subtitle format — over 143,000 SRT files were exported by HappyScribe users in Q1 2026 alone. Try our Subtitle Generator to get started.

Good app with great usability. Does what it says. The audio to text engine is very accurate, better than Kapwing's Beta which I've tested extensively. Team seems dedicated to constant improvements, too. I'm happy I purchased!
