Auto caption generator,
built into your workflow.

An auto caption generator turns the speech in your video into timed on-screen text. PowerCut AI combines transcription with caption presets, typography controls and word emphasis so you can build captions around your edit.

More control over the final cut.

01

Start with a style

Choose a caption preset, then tune the font, size, colour, outline and placement to suit your footage.

02

Give key words emphasis

Highlight the words that carry the point. Keep the message readable without making every word compete for attention.

03

Keep captions in the composition

Position your text around the speaker and other visual layers. Readability warnings help you spot issues before export.
