"Started with the free version and was blown away by the accuracy. Upgraded to Pro within a week for batch processing. This extension saves me hours every week on client projects."

Sarah M.
Freelance Video Editor

"The fact that it works 100% offline is a game-changer for me. I work with confidential client videos and can't upload audio anywhere. Auto Captions keeps everything on my machine. Accuracy is on par with cloud services."

James C.
Post-Production Studio Owner

"I use this for my Hindi and Hinglish content. The Medium model handles Hinglish amazingly well — something most tools struggle with. The animation presets save me so much time. Seriously the best AE caption tool out there."

Yes, completely free! No watermarks, no hidden fees, no signup required. The free version includes all core features — AI transcription, animations, background boxes, SRT export. The only limit is the number of weekly generations. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited use, batch mode, and translation.

Yes! Auto Captions runs 100% on your local machine using Whisper AI. No audio is ever sent to the cloud. Your content stays private and processing works without an internet connection (internet is only needed for initial download and license activation).

Auto Captions works with After Effects 2022 (version 22.0) and later on both macOS and Windows.

Absolutely! Captions are created as native After Effects text layers. You can edit text, timing, font, color, size, and animations like any other layer in your composition.

No! The Pro version is a one-time purchase of $49 with lifetime access and free updates. The free version requires no payment at all. No recurring fees, no hidden costs.

20+ languages including English, Hinglish (Hindi-Roman), Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Dutch, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. Auto-detect works great for most content.

We offer two models: Small (fast, great for clear English audio) and Medium (highly accurate, excellent for Hinglish, accented speech, and noisy audio). The Medium model (~750MB) provides professional-grade accuracy comparable to cloud services.

Each Pro license is tied to one device at a time. You can transfer your license to a new device anytime — the old device will be automatically logged out. The free version works on any number of devices.
