Live render Beast
Rendered by the plugin's own preview engine at 60 fps — not a mockup.

Not another caption app.

Premiere's built-in captions can't highlight the word being spoken. Most caption tools upload your footage and bill you monthly. This does neither.

Word-by-word highlight

Each word lights up exactly when it's spoken — colour, scale or pill. The CapCut-style look that carries short-form video, without leaving Premiere Pro and with zero keyframing.

Real Premiere graphics

Captions land as Motion Graphics clips, not baked images. Fix a typo, nudge timing, change a colour — in Essential Graphics, after the fact.

Offline and private

Speech recognition runs locally with Whisper. Footage never leaves your computer. No account, no upload, no monthly bill.

Looks editors already use.

17 presets across trend, clean and motion. Every slider is yours: font, size, stroke, shadow, highlight, in and out animation. Save your own.

Or build your own.

Presets are a starting point. Every part of a caption is a control — how it comes in, how it leaves, how it moves, how it reads.

Motion

15 in-animations — pop, fade, blur, slides, float, expand, bounce, typewriter, wipe, word reveal, word rise… and 6 outs. Duration, strength, slide time, ease in and ease out — each a slider.

Look

Any font on your computer. Size, position, letter spacing, stroke, shadow (opacity, distance, blur, angle), background box, pill radius, highlight scale and a bounce on the spoken word.

Words

Min and max words per caption, max lines, max duration, upper / lower / sentence case, punctuation on or off. Line width follows your frame — vertical or wide.

Speech is transcribed locally and word-synced captions are placed as editable graphics.

Questions.

Does my audio or video leave my computer?

No. Transcription runs locally with OpenAI's Whisper model. The only network request is the license check. No accounts, no analytics.

Can it do CapCut-style captions?

Yes — that look is the whole point. Word-by-word karaoke highlights, pill backgrounds, pop and bounce animations, placed as editable graphics on your Premiere Pro timeline. No round-trip through CapCut, no burned-in video.

Is it a subscription?

No. One payment, use it forever. All 1.x updates are included.

How do I get the $14.99 launch price?

Use the code LAUNCH at checkout. It's good for the first 100 orders — the buy button adds it for you, but you can type it into the discount box yourself if it isn't already there. After that the price is $25, still one-time.

Can I edit captions after they're placed?

Yes. Each caption is a real Motion Graphics clip. Text, timing, colours and animation are editable in Premiere's Essential Graphics panel. Restyle in the panel re-skins all of them at once.

Which languages work?

Whisper supports about 100 languages with auto-detect. English gives the tightest word timing. You can pin a language in Settings.

Why does timeline playback get heavier with many captions?

Each caption is a live animated graphic with expressions, which Premiere evaluates every frame. Finish the edit first, then use Render & Replace on the caption track, or just export — the final render is unaffected.

Mac?

Windows at launch. Mac is planned; buyers get it as a free 1.x update when it ships.

Refunds?

Try the free version first — it's the same plugin. If you bought and it's not for you, email support within 14 days with your order number — request a refund.
