Animated captions that stay in sync after every cut

Quick answer

MirrorCut generates captions from your speech and ties them to the audio, so they stay in sync after every cut, whether you make it or the AI agent does. Choose from 48 animated styles, highlight the words that matter, and export SRT or VTT caption files at any point.

Most viewers watch Shorts and Reels with the sound off, so captions decide whether a clip gets watched. But captions made before the final edit break the moment you trim a pause or move a clip.

MirrorCut generates captions from your speech and keeps them tied to the audio, so they stay in sync through every cut, by you or by the agent. Pick from 48 animated styles, highlight key words, and export caption files when you need them.

Just ask for it

Things you can type to MirrorCut's agent:

  • “Add word-by-word captions in a bold style”
  • “Add captions and highlight the speaker's key words”
  • “Add animated captions in the style that fits each clip”
  • “Export captions as SRT and VTT for the whole course”

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your video

    MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM. MirrorCut transcribes the speech as part of building your edit.

  2. 2

    Ask for captions

    Choose a style yourself or let the agent pick one that fits each clip. Ask it to highlight the words that matter.

  3. 3

    Edit freely

    Cut, trim and rearrange. Captions follow the audio, so they never drift out of sync. Export SRT or VTT files at any point.

What MirrorCut does

  • 48 animated caption styles

    Word-by-word captions in eight families, designed for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, from clean subtitles to bold hero words.

  • In sync after every cut

    Captions follow the speech through every trim and cut, by you or by the agent, so editing never breaks them.

  • Key-word highlights

    Ask the agent to emphasise the speaker's key words so the message lands even without sound.

  • SRT and VTT export

    Download standard caption files for YouTube, course platforms or any player that takes subtitles.

  • You approve every change

    Each AI edit is outlined on the timeline and explained in one line. Accept it, revert it, or keep editing by hand; your edits and the agent's share one undo history.
