Proofread the transcript.
Use an LLM to catch transcription mistakes and clean up the words. Run it locally, or bring your own API key for Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini.
Captions that keep up with the way people talk.
Speech-aware caption timing, proofreading, and animation. Caption Cadence takes captions from rough transcript to polished, naturally timed, word-by-word animation—in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Good captions should feel like they were always there.
not dropped in at the last minute
A caption tool for editors who care about the spaces between the words.
02 / The workflow
Most caption tools stop at text.
Caption Cadence keeps going.
Ret time to the delivery.
WhisperX listens for when each word was actually spoken, giving your captions timing that follows the performance—not a rough block of transcript.
Animate every word.
Turn those word-level timings into captions that build, highlight, and move with the speaker directly in DaVinci Resolve.
03 / What it does
The useful kind of clever.
Tools that solve the fiddly parts of caption work.
LLM proofreading
Correct names, phrases, and obvious transcript mistakes before they make it into your edit.
Natural retiming
Word-level WhisperX timestamps make the captions follow real speech instead of guessing at it.
Word-by-word animation
Add words as they’re spoken or highlight the current word for a caption style with actual rhythm.
Choose your AI
Use local models when privacy matters, or connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini API key.
04 / A small but important detail
Your AI subscription is not your API key.
Online proofreading uses an API key that you provide and control. A ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini app subscription does not automatically include API access. Local processing is available when you want to keep the work on your Mac.

The short version.
Does it work with DaVinci Resolve Free?
Caption Cadence currently requires DaVinci Resolve Studio. Exact version compatibility will be published before launch.
Do I need an AI subscription?
No single subscription is required. You can use local processing or connect your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google Gemini. API usage is billed by those providers separately.
When can I try it?
