Most AI caption tools stop after transcription. SceneCaption Studio keeps the real editing work in view: fixing text, shaping line breaks, splitting captions, adjusting timing, and aligning subtitles around scene changes.

Compose
Move from transcript to editable caption blocks in one flow.
Import media, transcribe with a local model, then refine generated cues immediately. Split, merge, remove, and adjust start or end points with keyboard-first timing controls.
Text Document
Edit generated transcripts like a word processor.
Before turning a transcript into caption blocks, refine the text in a document-style editor. Add line breaks to shape subtitle segments, control how many lines each caption uses, clean up spelling, and make the generated transcript read naturally before you compose it into timed cues.
That's Betty Brand at the piano.

Over here are the ones

Go on, look at yourself.
See if you can discover what it is.
Scene-aware timing
Time subtitles around picture edits, not only speech.
Automatic scene cut analysis finds visual edit points and lets you snap cue starts and ends near those cuts. With the timing editor, use Shift + D and Shift + F to snap subtitles to detected cut points, or use Shift + A and Shift + S to set the selected subtitle's start and end timing exactly where you want.
Auto Snap Range
Snap cue starts and ends to nearby scene cuts within your selected frame range.
Keyboard Timing
Use Shift+A and Shift+S to set start and end timing, then Shift+D and Shift+F to snap captions to analyzed scene cuts.
Powerful Cue Editor
Adjust subtitle boundaries from the editor instead of dragging caption edges repeatedly in your NLE.
Preview
The editing screen stays close to the final output.
Preview caption style, position, line length, aspect ratio, and burned-in export while you edit.
