Burn animated word-by-word captions into a Short, or drop a longer talking video and get its best 30 or 60 seconds back as a vertical MP4, cut, framed on your face and captioned. The video never leaves your device.
Live preview, rendered on this page by the same engine that burns your video.
The take exports at its own shape with the captions burned in. Twenty styles, all included, and a position slider to lift the words clear of the title and buttons YouTube draws over the bottom of a Short.
Choose Vertical, 9:16. Follow me moves the frame with you through the whole video, smoothly and only when you move. Fixed holds it where you place it. Fit everything keeps the full picture with a fill around it.
Choose the best 30 or 60 seconds. Burncaps lists every stretch that starts where a thought starts and ends where you finished a point, and Claude chooses the strongest. Ums, stutters and dead air are cut, and an opening card and a soft close are added.
Only the transcript text, with each line's timing, the pause lengths and a word for how your voice moved, goes to our AI to choose the stretch. The video stays on your device, and the sound leaves only if you choose our speech service. Tick Keep everything on this device and a simpler built-in rule chooses the moment instead, with nothing sent.

| Framing | As recorded, Follow me, Fixed or Fit everything | On your face, or the centre when no face is found |
| Cuts | None | Ums, stutters and dead air |
| Behind you | As recorded, blurred, a studio colour, your picture or a green screen | The same choices |
| Price | Either one uses one of your two free videos every 30 days; Pro, $49 once, makes them unlimited | |
Not if you place them with the position slider before you export. YouTube draws the title, your channel name and its buttons over the bottom of a Short, so lift the words above them; the preview shows where they will land.
Yes. Choose Vertical (9:16) with Follow me, and the frame moves with you through the whole video. Or choose the best 30 or 60 seconds, which comes out vertical and framed on your face.
It lists every stretch of the right length that starts where a thought starts and ends where you finished a point, read from your punctuation, your pauses and the fall of your voice, then Claude chooses the strongest. Before you export, you can still cut or keep any word by hand.
No. Free to use: two videos every 30 days with no mark, or $49 once for unlimited videos. The free videos come with every feature and no branding of ours anywhere on the export.
No. The video is opened, cut, captioned and exported in your browser. The sound leaves only if you choose our speech service, and for the best 30 or 60 seconds only the transcript text goes to our AI to choose the stretch; ticking Keep everything on this device stops that too.
Yes. It is a standard vertical MP4 with the captions drawn into the picture, so one file posts to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.
