The user problem

Video localization is not just text replacement. Translated lines can be longer, cultural references may need adjustment, and timing still has to fit the spoken moment.

Teams need a way to create a translated draft without losing the original caption state.

Why CutCaption fits

CutCaption keeps translations as separate caption states, so the source subtitles and translated subtitles can be reviewed and exported independently.

The editor lets users adjust translated text, line breaks, timing, and style before downloading files or burning captions into a video.

A simple workflow

  1. Review and save the source-language captions first.
  2. Create a translation from the current caption state.
  3. Open the translated state and check names, terms, numbers, and tone.
  4. Adjust timing or line breaks where translated text is longer.
  5. Export the translated subtitles as files or as a burned-in video.

Review note

Machine translation is a draft. Have a fluent reviewer check names, idioms, brand terms, numbers, and sensitive wording before publication.
