Why AutoCaption?

Everything you need for professional captions

Native After Effects workflow

Captions are real AE text layers — edit them like any other text: fonts, colors, line breaks, tracking, animations, expressions.

🤖

Powered by Deepgram Nova-3 / OpenAI Whisper Large v3

Industry-leading speech recognition ensures high-quality audio-to-text transcription with minimal corrections needed.

⏱️

From zero to polished captions in minutes

Choose from 5 caption pacing modes to match different speech rhythms and storytelling styles.

🎨

18+ ready-to-use caption styles

Fully editable presets designed for social media, explainers, reels, YouTube, and motion-driven content.

No usage limits

No credits, minutes, or per-caption limits. Use AutoCaption as much as you want — the only cost is the license.

Nothing is baked in

You keep full freedom to tweak timing, layout, wording, or animation — even after generation.

🔑

You don't need to create accounts or bring your own API key — AutoCaption works out of the box after activation.

Limitations

  • Processing time depends on audio length
