Start free with caption-ready editing.
Begin with a browser timeline, then use AI when you need animated captions, transcript timing, reframing and social-video polish.

The pain
Free caption tools often stop before the video is ready.
01
Animated captions may be locked behind paid tiers.
02
Subtitle-only tools do not fix the edit.
03
Social clips need crop, sound and timing too.
How it works
Three moves. One edit.
01
Open a project
Start in the browser editor.
02
Add your clip
Import talking footage or a short social video.
03
Edit or upgrade
Use manual tools first, then AI captions when needed.
