AI video editor

AI video editor built around subtitles

Not a general-purpose timeline that happens to do captions. One job, done all the way through: the words, the timing, the look and the export.

The Captions Space workspace: subtitle list on the left, video with captions in the middle, style presets on the right, frames and waveform below

The draft is already made

You do not start from an empty timeline. You start from a finished version and argue with it.

Subtitle panel: cues with timings and characters per second, one word open for editing

Transcript, not a blank page

Captions Space recognises speech in 50+ languages and aligns every word to the sound. Cue boundaries land where the voice actually breaks.

Frame strip, waveform and subtitle track under the video, with the playhead on a cue

A timeline you can read

The waveform and the frame strip sit under the video. You see what you are dragging a cue against.

Style preset grid with one selected, and the preview showing it on the frame

Styling that is already applied

A design is chosen and laid out before you arrive; changing it is picking a preset, not building one.

What the AI actually does

Three jobs, each with a page of its own โ€” and each one you can overrule.

Vertical frame: the headline sits at the top, the caption at the bottom, the face is left clear

Placement clear of faces

Captions Space analyses the frames for faces and objects and places the captions where they cover neither. You can move them yourself.

Headline preset panel next to the preview showing the headline on the frame

AI headlines

The model picks two to four words carrying the point and puts them large on the frame, timed to the voice.

Effects panel with a zoom and a b-roll entry on the timeline, and the overlay clip in the preview

B-roll and zooms

The editor lays your own clip or still over the talking head and places zooms on the timeline.

Word-level highlighting

Timing is calculated per word, so each word lights up exactly as it is spoken.

Everything in one workspace

Two things you can count, and six you can do.

    designer styles

    Pick one and adjust it, or build your own: font, colour, outline, shadow, word animation. The font library holds 114 families, and the preview renders what the export will.

    export formats

    Subtitle files for a player that draws them itself, or video with the captions burned into the frames. Lite and Pro export everything with no watermark.

  • Transcript

    Fix a word once and every place it appears follows.

  • Timeline

    Drag cue boundaries against the waveform and the frame strip.

  • Placement

    Automatic layout clear of faces, moved by hand when the shot needs it.

  • Headlines

    Key phrases large on the frame, on their own track.

  • B-roll and zooms

    Overlays and zooms over the talking head.

  • Subtitle pace

    How much text fits into one cue and how long it stays on screen โ€” three settings.

On a tablet the side panels open over the workspace; on a phone the interface splits into Subtitles, Style and Timeline tabs.

What it is not

It is not a general video editor. There is no multi-track cutting, no colour grading, no transitions โ€” the video you upload is the video you get back, with captions on it.

It is not an SRT file editor either. It works on subtitles it generated from your video; if you already have a finished .srt and only need to fix the text and timings, that is a separate tool and it needs no account.

It does not run on your machine. Recognition, frame analysis and rendering happen on the service, so a long video does not depend on your laptop.

Go to the subtitle file editor โ†’

From upload to export

Drop in a video and the pipeline starts on its own: audio is extracted, speech recognised, words aligned to the sound, frames analysed, and a first design laid out. The current stage is shown while it runs.

Edit what only you can decide โ€” the wording, the emphasis, the look, and where the captions sit in the frame.

Export as a subtitle file for a player that draws captions itself, or as video with them burned into the frames.

FAQ

There is a free plan: 6 credits a month (1 credit = 1 minute of footage), clips up to 6 minutes each, with no card required. Free exports are MP4 with a watermark; Lite and Pro remove it, add SRT, VTT and ASS, and raise the minutes.

Beautiful captions.

Captions Space generates AI subtitles, styles them with designer presets and exports the finished video.
