Overview
Vimeo’s AI subtitle workflow generates captions from uploaded video, opens the transcript for correction, and exports subtitle files for distribution. It also connects captions with Vimeo’s translation and dubbing tools for multilingual versions.
Automatic subtitles and the related AI features are tied to Vimeo account and plan rules. The Free plan supports manual caption uploads, while paid plans provide automatic subtitle generation and AI credits with plan-specific limits.
