The user problem

Short-form videos are often watched without sound, on small screens, and in feeds where captions have to be readable immediately.

Captions also need to stay out of the way of platform UI, faces, products, and other important visual details.

Why CutCaption fits

CutCaption gives social teams a focused editing workflow for text, timing, visual style, and preview before export.

Use global styles for a consistent look, then adjust individual captions when one line needs a different position or emphasis.

A simple workflow

  1. Upload the clip and generate or import subtitles.
  2. Tighten the caption text for short-form pacing.
  3. Check timing against the video preview.
  4. Choose a high-contrast style that stays readable on mobile.
  5. Export a burned-in version when the platform or campaign needs captions always visible.

Review note

Review generated captions before posting. Short clips often include slang, names, music, and fast cuts that need human cleanup.
