Translate the on-screen text of a video into French
Titles, captions, labels and lower thirds — translated into French directly in the finished video. No project file, no editing software, no re-render. Upload the exported file, replace the words, export the French version.
The original English video, then the same video with its on-screen text translated into French. Edited from the exported file only.
What’s different about French
French tends to run 15–25% longer than English and uses spaces before some punctuation, which changes how a title wraps. Vtx shows each element in context so you can shorten a line, resize it or move it before exporting.
For Canada, Belgium and Switzerland the same video often needs slightly different wording. Keep one master edit and export regional versions from it, changing only the text that differs.
“Vtx is very helpful in our quest to translate Teach Every Nation’s Bible-based curriculum into a wide range of languages, making our translated lessons more engaging to a global audience. I would recommend Vtx to anyone seeking a fairly quick and easy way to create immersive content across different languages.”
How a French version gets made
Upload your video
Drop in any rendered video file — MP4, MOV or AVI. No source files, no editing project, no software install.
Vtx extracts every text element
The platform scans frame by frame to detect and lift every piece of embedded text — titles, lower thirds, captions, labels and graphics.
Edit and customise
Replace or rewrite any on-screen text directly. Adjust font, size, position, colour and timing so every edit matches the original design.
Export and reuse
Download the finished video. Every overlay is saved — change the text for the next version or language and export again in minutes.
Translating video into French: common questions
Do I need the original project file to translate the on-screen text into French?
No. Vtx works from the finished video file — MP4, MOV or AVI. It detects the embedded text frame by frame, so there is no project file, timeline or font package to find.
Will the French text match the look of the original?
Vtx lifts each text element with its position, timing, size and colour, and you replace the words in place. You can adjust the font, size and position where the French version needs more or less room, then export in the original format.
Can I reuse the same edit for more languages?
Yes. Every overlay is saved with the video. Duplicate the project, swap the French text for the next language and export again — one edit becomes a whole set of language versions.
