Watch any public Vimeo video with translated subtitles overlaid on the player, or download a finished SRT/VTT/ASS file. Strong on the indie film, documentary, and corporate-video content Vimeo is known for. 50 free credits at signup — no card required.
Pick the workflow that matches how you watch. Both use the same translation engine and the same 30+ target languages.
Install the VinnerVi browser extension, open any public Vimeo video, click the extension icon, and pick your target language. Translated subtitles appear on the Vimeo player, synced to playback. Subtitle-track mode costs 1 credit per minute when the video carries captions; audio-transcription mode costs 3 credits per minute otherwise. The extension also detects Vimeo embeds on third-party sites.
Open vinnervi.com/subtitles, paste the Vimeo link, pick a target language and a subtitle format (SRT, VTT, ASS, or TXT), and hit Generate. About 1–10 minutes later the finished subtitle file arrives in your Jobs tab and your inbox — drop it into Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, VLC, mpv, or your own editing workflow.
Vimeo is the platform of choice for indie filmmakers, documentary directors, dance and theatre companies, corporate-video producers, and creators who want a higher-bitrate, less-algorithmic home for their work than YouTube provides. The catalog leans heavily toward short films, festival entries, behind-the-scenes documentaries, university lectures, conference talks, and educational content — much of it in French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and other source languages, and much of it without subtitles in the viewer's language.
VinnerVi handles Vimeo end-to-end. The browser extension overlays translated subtitles directly on the Vimeo player so you can watch a Cannes short, an indie documentary, or a German design-conference talk with subtitles synced to playback. The URL workflow gives you a downloadable subtitle file — useful for film festivals subtitling international submissions, educators distributing translated versions of conference talks, or production crews building multilingual versions of corporate content.
Public Vimeo videos work in both workflows. Private videos and password-protected videos that require sign-in are not supported. Vimeo embeds on third-party sites are detected by the browser extension, and Vimeo Showcase / Channel individual videos work when you paste the canonical /video/{id} URL. Subtitle-track mode (1 credit/min) is used when Vimeo carries captions; audio-transcription mode (3 credits/min) handles everything else.
