  • Upload: Export your video from Avid Media Composer 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.

Avid Media Composer 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. Avid Media Composer'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 Avid Media Composer'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.
