2. Select Transcribe and burn subtitles
3. In the Video URL field, upload or paste the Video URL with the audio
4. Check out the other styling options like font, outline, background color etc.

Note: Leave the language blank to auto-detect

API method

Send a POST request to the /v5/tools/subtitle_video endpoint, with a string e.g. "video_url": "VIDEO.mp4" for transcribing.

var data = {
  "video_url": "https://cdn.bannerbear.com/sample_videos/clip.mp4",
  "language": "en",
  "font": "inter",
  "background_style": "outline"
}
fetch('https://api.bannerbear.com/v5/tools/subtitle_video', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify(data),
  headers: {
    'Content-Type' : 'application/json',
    'Authorization' : `Bearer ${API_KEY}`
  }
})
