  2. Select "File > Export > WebVTT..."
  3. Name your file and select a save destination
  4. Click "Export"

TIPS

Some tips about the WebVTT format:

  • WebVTT files may be referenced within a video tag on a HTML page. You can add subtitles to a video by including a track tag. This page provides a nice overview of WebVTT and how to integrate WebVTT files with the web.
  • You can add inline styles to runs of text, such as bold and italics. Although they won't show up immediately in InqScribe, they will export just fine.
  • InqScribe does not support per-subtitle positioning or karaoke-style effects, where pieces of subtitle appear at specific times. For more about these limitations, head over to the WebVTT section of our User Guide.
