Auto-captions are easy to make.
The fix is what takes all afternoon.

Auto-captions are easy to make.
The fix is what takes all afternoon.

Generating captions is the fast part. Every tool does it. Then you read them back.

The names are misspelled. Two speakers are merged into one block. A line runs too long for the safe area. The filler words are all still there. A technical term got mangled, again. So you sit there fixing captions word by word, in a panel that was barely built for it.

The time was never in the transcription. It was in everything after.

The difference
is in the details

The difference
is in the details

Less to fix,
because the transcript is right the first time.

Premiere Assistant uses Cutback's own speech-to-text engine, tuned for real video: frame-level accuracy, multiple speakers, technical vocabulary, and accents. More accuracy up front means fewer corrections later.

Multi-cam sync example in Selects

A real caption editor,
not a text box.

This is where editors actually spend their time, so this is what we built around. Names and terms library, split by word count, add a line break, or hide a caption entirely. Reassign a speaker in a click.

You read the captions the way your viewer will, and you edit them right there. No scrubbing the timeline to find the block you need to fix.

Draft a storyline in Selects

Built for more than one person on screen.

Interviews, podcasts, panels, multicam shoots: handled. It separates speakers, color-codes them in the transcript, and can label captions with speaker names or split captions onto separate tracks by speaker. Long-form, multi-person content is the hard case, and it is the one Premiere Assistant is designed for.

Cut fillers and silences in Selects

The cleanup pass, automated.

Hide filler words, repeated words, and profanity in one panel. Run a spell check across the whole sequence. Set the rules captions should follow: max length per line by letter or word count, where lines break on punctuation, single or multi-line, lettercase, and how silent sections are handled.

Drag and drop clips to keep in Selects

Reach a wider audience without leaving Premiere

Translate your captions into another language in a couple of clicks and apply them straight to the sequence. No browser roundtrip, no separate service, no re-importing files. Caption once, then open the same content up to viewers in another language.

Auto generated graphics on video

Caption it the way each platform needs it.

Generate standard Premiere captions or customized animated captions as graphic clips directly on your sequence. Export a clean transcript, an SRT for YouTube, social, and accessibility, or YouTube chapter titles complete with timecodes, summaries, and speaker names.

  • The updates are so frequent that it's like a completely different plug-in every time I open it. I've tried manyplug-ins, but this one costs less and performs much better.

  • I primarily edit lectures and interview videos, and my workload has decreased by 90%. There's almost no need to edit subtitles, and I edit the video with captions too. I want to keep this to myself.
