How it works
Add and transcribe
Add your media and choose its spoken language. Sign in to generate captions; extracted audio is sent for transcription while the video stays on your device.
Review the result
Play the clip and correct names, numbers and any misheard phrases before choosing the final appearance.
Export and check
Download the captioned video, then play the saved file at its intended viewing size. Keep the editable project for later corrections.
If your starting point is a long recording and you need candidate excerpts, inspect OpusClip’s clipping workflow. If you already have the final short cut, evaluate the caption editor and export you actually need.
Do not compare tools only by a style count. Run the same short recording through your options and check transcription, corrections, readability and the final file.
- Caption presentation
- Try LumaCaption’s style catalogue on the clip you intend to publish.
- Corrected subtitle files
- Download SRT, VTT or TXT from the reviewed words.
- Local source video
- The video stays on your device. Both Candy Lite and Candy Ultra send extracted audio for cloud transcription; sign-in and an internet connection are required.
- Explicit free limits
- Free includes 5 Candy Ultra minutes and 20 Candy Lite minutes per month, videos up to 2 minutes, and 1080p export. Styles and exports are unlimited, with no added watermark.
What LumaCaption does not replace
It does not analyse a long recording and propose the best moments, predict virality or automatically track a speaker while reframing. Keep a tool that provides those features if they are essential to your workflow.
You can use a clip-selection tool first, then bring the selected media file here. This is a possible workflow, not a claim that either service integrates directly with the other.
A fair comparison with your own clip
Use a sample containing a name, a number and the kind of audio you normally record. Count the corrections you need and inspect the longest caption at phone size.
Check the current plan conditions on both services. A headline price alone does not show input limits, transcription allowance or which outputs are included.
Common questions
Will this find highlights automatically?
No. Bring the chosen moment or make the selection in another tool.
Is it better than OpusClip?
That depends on the job. Evaluate clip discovery separately from caption editing rather than treating them as interchangeable products.
Can I reuse the clip from another editor?
Yes, add the supported media file. A burned-in caption from a previous export remains part of the picture, so start from a clean version when possible.
