Questions

What changes between SRT and VTT?

VTT adds a WEBVTT header and uses a dot instead of a comma before milliseconds. The text and timing stay the same.

How do I add the VTT file to an HTML5 video?

Put it in a track element: <track kind="subtitles" src="subs.vtt" srclang="en" label="English" default>, placed inside your <video> tag next to the file.

Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser reads and fixes the file on your own computer. Nothing is sent to a server, so private files are fine, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
