English subtitles (fragment)

112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Before you open the bowl,
the clay has to be perfectly centered.

113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Brace your left elbow on your knee
and push in with the heel of your hand.

114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
If the clay wobbles against your palm,
it's not there yet.

115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[STUDENT] How long do I keep pushing?

116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Until it feels like it's standing still,
even though the wheel is spinning.

Spanish translation (same cues)

112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Antes de abrir el cuenco,
el barro tiene que estar bien centrado.

113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Apoya el codo izquierdo en la rodilla
y empuja con la base de la mano.

114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
Si el barro tiembla bajo tu palma,
todavía no está listo.

115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[ALUMNA] ¿Cuánto tiempo sigo empujando?

116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Hasta que parezca quieto,
aunque el torno siga girando.

Delivery notes

  • Files: clay-corner-first-bowl_en.srt (318 cues), clay-corner-first-bowl_es.srt (318 cues). Timings are identical, so the two tracks can be switched without drift.
  • Terms: "leather-hard" translated as dureza de cuero, the term used by Spanish-speaking potters.
  • To check: at 14:22 the teacher names a glaze brand quietly; marked as [glaze name] since it's not clearly audible.

Client: Clay Corner, a small pottery studio with a video channel. Video: "Throwing your first bowl", 24 min 10 s. Ordered: English subtitles plus a Spanish translation. Delivered as two SRT files, one per language.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

Most people watch Reels, TikTok and Shorts with the sound off, so captions decide whether they get the message. We make timed caption files from your video link, with short lines that suit a vertical screen and names and slang spelled as in your brief. Import the SRT into your video editor to style and burn in the captions, or upload it where the platform allows caption files.

What is included

  • What you getTimed caption files as SRT and VTT for your short videos, plus the spoken text as plain text for post captions.
  • Short linesReadable on a vertical screen
  • Editor-ready SRTImport into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve

What we need from you

A link to one video file (join several clips into one file if needed), the spoken language, the caption language and any names or slang to spell exactly.

We will ask you:

  • Which language is spoken in the clips?
  • Which language do you need the captions in?
  • Which names, brands or slang words must be spelled exactly?

Questions and answers

Do you burn the captions into the video?

No. You get caption files; animated or styled captions are added in your video editor.

I have several clips. Can I send them all?

Each order takes one file. Join the clips into one video, or place a separate order for each.

Can I upload the SRT straight to TikTok or Instagram?

Not everywhere: these apps mostly generate their own captions. YouTube Shorts accepts SRT in YouTube Studio; elsewhere burn the captions in.
