About CaptionBolt

We build the hours after filming.

Most creators already know how to shoot. The part that takes time — and wears you out — is everything that comes after. CaptionBolt is built for that gap.

Why we built it

The hard part isn't filming. It's what comes after.

The creators we talked to weren't stuck on shooting — they were stuck on a pile of small, repetitive steps between a raw file and an actual post. Add captions. Edit the transcript. Find the best 60 seconds in a 40-minute podcast. Reframe for vertical. Export an SRT for your editor. Write the caption copy.

None of those steps are complicated. Together, they're where days go. CaptionBolt exists to put them in one flow.

  • Generate and edit AI captions
  • Read, edit, and export the full transcript
  • Find the moments worth posting in a long video
  • Reframe 16:9 footage for Shorts / Reels / TikTok
  • Add B-Roll, cut silence and filler words
  • Translate and dub for more audiences
  • Export the video and SRT / ASS / VTT files
  • Write the title, description, and hashtags
What we built

Five tools. One flow.

Each module handles a real step in a publishing workflow. They work standalone — and they work better together.

AI Captions

Auto-transcribe, choose from 301 styles, and edit in a caption-first workspace — with B-Roll, resize, reframe, and overlays built in.

AI Viral Clips

Drop a long video in. Get back a batch of scored, ranked, publish-ready 9:16 clips.

AI Reframe

Face tracking and speaker separation turn 16:9 footage into vertical video that still reads clearly.

AI Transcripts

Your video as editable, searchable, exportable text — usable in Premiere, DaVinci, FCP, or anywhere else.

AI Dubbing

One video, spoken in more languages, in your own voice. No card needed for the first 10 minutes.

CaptionBolt tool suite overview
Scope

CaptionBolt is not a full video editor.

We could keep piling features on. We don't, because the goal isn't to build software people have to learn — it's to shorten the path from footage to post.

What we focus on

  • Get an existing video to publish-ready, fast
  • Cut the repetitive post-production steps
  • Stop creators from bouncing between tools
  • Give pros the SRT / ASS / VTT files they actually need

What we skip

  • Multi-track timeline editing
  • Heavy transitions and motion graphics
  • AI background replacement and generative footage
Who it's for

Built for people who publish regularly.

Three kinds of users shape how we build CaptionBolt. If you recognise yourself in one of them, the workflow will feel familiar.

Video creators

YouTubers, podcasters, course creators, short-form creators, personal brands. You're already shipping content — you need to spend less of every day on post.

Marketing & small content teams

Teams that publish short-form video consistently and don't want hours disappearing into manual edits or tool-hopping per post.

Pro SRT / ASS / VTT workflows

Editors who take captions and transcripts back into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut. Clean export formats aren't a nice-to-have — they're the reason you picked the tool.

What we believe

A few things we decided not to compromise on.

Workflow beats feature count.

What creators are actually missing isn't another capability — it's a workflow that stays out of their way. We'd rather have five tools that work well together than fifteen that nobody uses.

Serious tools shouldn't need a serious budget.

CaptionBolt is priced for actual creators, not funded content teams. The ability to publish polished video shouldn't require an enterprise plan.

We ship what people actually use.

Every module exists because it's a real step in a real publishing workflow — one that creators were doing manually or across three different apps. We don't build features to sound impressive.

Honest about what we are.

CaptionBolt is not a full video editor and we're not trying to become one. It's the shortest path from raw footage to a publish-ready post. When something is out of scope, we say so.

From raw footage to publish-ready.
