Getting started with CutCaption

The usual workflow

CutCaption starts in Studio. Upload a video, choose whether CutCaption should generate subtitles or use a subtitle file you already have, then open the editor when processing finishes.

Inside the editor, review the transcript against the video, fix timing or text, choose a subtitle style, and export either subtitle files or a video with subtitles burned in.

Create your first project

1. Open the app and go to Studio.
2. Select Create Project.
3. Choose AI Generation for automatic captions, or My Own Subtitles if you already have a subtitle file.
4. Upload the video and follow the review step before submitting.
5. When processing is complete, open the project in the editor.

What to check before exporting

• Play through the video once and correct obvious caption mistakes.
• Check the start and end timing for captions that feel early or late.
• Apply a global style before making one-off caption changes.
• Use preview as the source of truth before starting a hardcoded export.
