CutCaption product workflow from subtitle editing to exported video

One browser workflow

GenerateImportFix timingStyleTranslateExport

Preview-to-export parity

Approve the caption once. Deliver that result.

CutCaption keeps browser preview, ASS delivery, and burned-in video tied to the same saved caption instructions. No second styling pass after you click export.

One saved caption state

Text, timing, line breaks, positioning, and effects come from the project state you reviewed.

One set of ASS instructions

CutCaption generates the same subtitle model for browser preview, ASS handoff, and burned-in export.

The same renderer family

JASSUB/libass powers the browser view; FFmpeg/libass applies those instructions to the exported video.

The CutCaption parity promise

Supported caption timing, placement, styling, and effects shown in preview carry into export from the same generated ASS instructions.

The promise covers the captions. Source-video color and compression can still vary when a video is encoded into a new delivery file.

Before export

Browser preview

Deliver the same caption decisions in a burned-in MP4, or hand off the generated ASS file.

Saved caption stateGenerated ASSPreview + export

In plain English: CutCaption writes one set of caption instructions. The browser reads them for preview, and the export worker reads them again to burn the video.

Client-ready captions, from first pass to final file.

Generate or import captions, correct the details, style with precision, and deliver subtitle files or burned-in video from one browser workflow.

Start from AI or import

Generate captions with AI or bring your own SRT/VTT file. CutCaption starts where the rough transcript starts.

Fix timing precisely

Adjust timing with caption cards and waveform context so subtitles land where viewers actually hear the words.

Style for readability

Apply presets, fonts, color, outline, shadow, position, karaoke, and active-line effects with a live subtitle preview.

Translate without leaving

Create translated caption states when a clip needs another language, then review the result in the same editor.

Export files or video

Download SRT, VTT, or TXT subtitle files — ASS on Creator and higher plans — or render a burned-in MP4 when the captioned video needs to ship as one file.

No tool stitching

Open the studio from your browser, keep projects in your workspace, and avoid bouncing between caption tools.
