AnimateCaptions
Add Animated Captions To Videos for TikTok, Reels & Shorts
Upload a clip, pick from 32+ animated word-by-word caption styles (Mr Beast, Hormozi, and more), and export a full-res burned-in MP4. No editing software, no AI-credit upcharges. Free to start, plans from $7.99/mo — cheaper than Submagic or Captions.ai.
Hey hunters 👋
I built AnimateCaptions because every caption tool I tried either buried the actual captioning feature under a bloated editor, or nickel-and-dimed me with AI credits on top of a subscription.
So this does one thing: animated, word-by-word captions for short-form video.
Upload an .mp4/.mov, transcribed via Deepgram Nova-3 (36+ languages, auto-detect)
Pick from 32+ animated styles — Beast, Hormozi, Pulse, Crafty, Lyric, karaoke-style, and more
Fine-tune font, color, stroke, shadow, and per-line position in the in-browser editor
Export full-resolution, rendered server-side with Remotion — no quality loss, no local install
Free to start, no credit card. Paid plans from $7.99/mo if you need longer clips or team features — still cheaper than Submagic ($19/mo) or Captions.ai ($24.99/mo).
Would love feedback from anyone who clips podcasts, edits Shorts, or runs a content agency — especially on the preset styles and editor flow. 🙏
Animated captions are basically table stakes for short-form now - if your video doesn't have them, watch time tanks. What I like about this approach is the word-by-word timing - that's actually the hard part to get right, and most tools that claim to do it either drift out of sync or butcher the pacing on fast speech.
The Mr Beast / Hormozi style presets are a smart shortcut - those are the formats people actually want to replicate. One thing I'd love to see: custom color rules based on sentiment or emphasis, not just preset styles. That's the next level for creators who want their own visual language.
$7.99/mo vs Submagic is a strong position. Congrats on the launch!
