Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.

There is no facility to auto generate subtitles in either Movie Edit Pro, now called Movie Studio, or its "big brother", Video Pro X, sorry. I very much doubt whether any video editing package can do this. Which online service are you considering?

Hi Jeff, It was a video which stated that subtitles could be auto generated. I saw on the Magix website that there is a service available for adding subtitles, is this correct? I have been given a number of options, I paid for Movavi online as a one off but so far I have not received anything. There are a number in this link but most require purchasing the software. Can you recommend anything? Here is the list I was given https://filmora.wondershare.com/video-editor/best-free-subtitle-makers-online.html?psafe_param=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwwb6lBhBJEiwAbuVUSshqx2Lk46Z9sFAMV7atLGEmDFeodqEFaEp8q3vgs--7thwTWIDWPRoCxpcQAvD_BwE

Sorry, I have no experience at all of this so cannot advise on any of those options.

@Mark-Creathorne It looks like Magix Vegas Pro can convert speech-to-text if you buy the subscription.

@Mark-Creathorne Hi, yes Vegas 365 subscription will create subtitles but that does require a purchase & I know 0 about that, Vegas will import .srt files as will a lot of software now (Not Magix), but again Vegas needs to be purchased,

I would consider uploading your video to Youtube, from there you can download an .srt file

Free DaVinci resolve will import that srt file from there you can edit if needs be & export as a video file, I had to add a black solid as a video clip, don't know if DR will export just the subtitles as a video clip.. (Edit -I exported as MP4, MMS didn't like the Quicktime option)

Added to MMS with Chroma key,

It's a bit of fannying around but it's a free option.

Hi

. . . .  I have two feature documentaries which need subtitles. . . .

What is the final delivery format you are creating the documentaries for, eg Disc, Youtube etc, and do you require them to be selectable ie they can be turned on/off?

Thanks for the help, very much appreciated. I used to use Vegas but went onto Movie Studio for ages then purchased the Magix suite. The films are for Amazon Prime. I have found a service to do it now. The you tube option is a good idea too.
