Caption & Cut
Web app that automatically cuts pauses and adds TikTok-style captions to short-form videos

Description
Editing a talking-head video for TikTok or Reels usually means manually cutting out every "um" and dead pause, then adding word-by-word highlighted captions by hand — tedious work that eats up more time than recording the clip itself. Caption & Cut automates both halves: it transcribes your video, cuts along natural speech patterns to remove pauses and filler words, and burns in synchronized, word-highlighted captions in the style popularized by TikTok creators.
It handles German and English audio, including translating German speech into English captions, and includes a transcript editor so you can fix any misheard words before the final render. Output includes an SRT file for further editing elsewhere, and there's an optional local-processing mode that keeps your video on-device during the initial rendering pass rather than uploading everything to a server. It's currently in beta: the first three videos are free, and a Premium tier (100 videos/month, no watermark) is available on request at no charge during the beta period, with an explicit promise of no automatic charges.
💬 Our review
The short version: Caption & Cut targets the exact two chores — pause-cutting and caption-burning — that eat the most time in short-form video editing, and being free during beta makes it an easy tool to try right now.
Against OpusClip or Descript (both mature, paid tools doing similar auto-cut-and-caption work, often at $20-30/month), Caption & Cut's beta pricing is unbeatable, but that's also the catch: beta pricing doesn't last, and there's no public roadmap yet for what post-beta pricing looks like. Its bilingual German/English handling is a genuine niche advantage if you create content in both languages, something the bigger US-centric tools don't prioritize. Worth using now while it's free, with the understanding that you may need to migrate to Descript or OpusClip once Caption & Cut exits beta and introduces real pricing.
