captionrich is an AI text-based video editor that runs in the browser. Its core idea is that a talking-head video can be edited like a document: the video is transcribed, and deleting words or sentences in the transcript cuts the matching footage.
The product targets people who record themselves speaking and want to publish short-form video without learning traditional editing software. The company positions it for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, podcast clips, and similar formats.
Beyond cutting, captionrich adds captions, B-roll, motion graphics, emojis, and caption translation. The homepage also notes more than 10k videos created, a figure supplied by the company.
The site describes a three-step flow. First, drop in a video in formats such as MP4, MOV, or WebM, in portrait or landscape. Second, pick from 40+ caption styles, edit by text, and switch on AI toggles such as silence removal, bad takes, B-roll, and zooms, or accept the defaults.
Third, export a captioned MP4 ready for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or other platforms. Captions are burned into the exported video, so they render the same everywhere.
Inside the editor, clicking a word lets you seek, retime, highlight, split, merge, edit, or delete it. B-roll, GIFs, or stock footage can be dropped at any word, and a selection can be exported as a standalone clip. Every edit is reversible.
The editing suite includes Remove Silences, Remove Bad Takes for false starts and flubs, Filler Words removal, Smart Jump Cuts, and Smart Scenes, which splits a video into scenes by topic and pacing. Auto Clipper converts a long podcast or video into independent 9:16 shorts.
For visuals, captionrich offers Scene Zoom, Scene Transitions (fade, flash, slide, glitch, whip pan), Auto Emojis, Auto B-Roll, and AI-designed Motion Graphics. Free stock videos and photos come from Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash.
Captions come in 40+ animated styles with custom colors, fonts, and stroke settings. AI Translate converts captions into 50+ languages, including right-to-left scripts, while keeping word-level timing.
