How it works
Choose a short test clip
Keep it within the 2-minute per-video limit.
Generate and review
Select the language and check the words and timing.
Export your finished captioned video
Save at 1080p or download a subtitle file.
Free caption tools can limit transcription, clip length, export resolution or the finished image. Each of these is a separate limit. A watermark-free export does not mean unlimited transcription.
LumaCaption creates subtitles from the speech in a video and does not write social post descriptions. The free transcription allowance renews every month.
- No watermark
- Your finished video carries no LumaCaption watermark on any plan.
- Try the full style library
- Choose from all 340+ styles while using the free plan.
- Re-export without a render fee
- Changing a style and exporting the existing transcript again does not consume transcription minutes.
Make the first test representative
Choose a short clip with the language, microphone and speaking pace you normally use. Include a name or technical term so you can judge how much correction your real workflow needs.
Review the transcript and save an export before you commit to a longer project or a paid plan. Then watch that export on the phone you post from.
When a paid plan becomes relevant
Upgrade when your work needs more transcription allowance, a longer video or 4K export. You do not need to upgrade to remove a watermark or to use another style.
Roman-script Hinglish uses Candy Ultra, so the free plan’s 5 Ultra minutes set your monthly allowance for it. The separate Lite minutes do not add Roman-output minutes.
