Why editors pick CaptionX

Separate apps mean exporting and re-importing

With CapCut, VEED, Descript, Kapwing, Submagic or Otter.ai, you export from Premiere Pro, upload to a browser or app, generate captions, then re-import. Every edit to your cut means repeating that cycle.

CaptionX stays inside your timeline

CaptionX is installed as an Adobe Premiere Pro extension. You open your sequence, click generate, and captions appear on your timeline as native Premiere Pro caption tracks. No exports. No video uploads. No re-imports. No sync drift.

Free to start, no expiry

CaptionX is free to start, with no expiry date. Generate captions on your real footage, check the quality, then upgrade to Pro for unlimited captions.
