About RoughCut: Captions & Subtitles
Stop scrubbing through hours of footage looking for the boring parts. RoughCut turns a rambling talking-head recording into a tight, captioned, clean-sounding video in minutes: it cuts silence and filler words, adds animated captions and cleans up your audio. Drop in a podcast, vlog, tutorial or Reel and let RoughCut do the tedious first pass. You review every cut before you export, so the edit is always yours. No account, no sign-up. AUTO CUT SILENCE AND DEAD AIR • Finds and removes silent gaps, dead air and awkward pauses automatically, like a jump-cut edit done for you • Fine-tune the silence threshold, minimum pause length and padding around each cut so the result feels natural, not choppy • Boost the volume of quiet recordings • Tap any part of the timeline to keep it or cut it by hand REMOVE FILLER WORDS (PRO) • Detects "um", "uh" and other hesitations and cuts them out • Turn it on or off per video and check every cut on the waveform AUTO CAPTIONS AND SUBTITLES (PRO) • Automatic captions in 14 languages • Animated word-by-word styles: Pop, Karaoke, Bold, Minimal and Classic • Burn captions into the video or export an SRT subtitle file STUDIO CLEAN AUDIO (PRO) • Reduces background noise and room hum behind your voice • Levels loudness so every clip sounds consistent READY FOR EVERY PLATFORM • Reframe to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, feed posts and YouTube • Export in 1080p for free, or up to 4K with Pro • Import videos from Photos or Files, or audio-only recordings • Batch processing: queue several clips and let RoughCut cut, caption and export them in one pass (Pro) • Save your favorite settings as presets and apply a whole look in one tap • Works on iPhone and iPad PRIVATE BY DESIGN Silence detection, audio cleanup, reframing and export all run on your device, and your videos are never uploaded to our servers.
