About captionrich
captionrich is an AI video editor built around the transcript. Instead of scrubbing a timeline, users cut a video by deleting or rearranging words in the text, and the footage follows. The same approach is used to remove bad takes, filler words and silences, and to produce smart jump cuts in talking-head recordings.
Captions are a central feature, with automatic generation in more than 50 languages, a range of caption styles and AI translation. The editor can also add B-roll, stock media, motion graphics, scene zooms, transitions and emojis, and an auto clipper turns long recordings such as podcast episodes into short vertical clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
The site additionally provides free browser tools, including a caption generator, subtitle burner, audio-to-SRT converter, trimmer and teleprompter that run on the device without uploading files. captionrich is a hosted commercial product with free entry and paid upgrades described on its pricing page.
