AutoSubtitles 2.0 is a next-generation AI subtitle generator for creating animated captions and engaging video content directly in the browser. Generate accurate subtitles, edit with a timeline and canvas editor, apply viral-style caption presets, add AI enhancements like automatic emojis, and export polished videos without complicated editing software.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
A while ago I launched the first version of AutoSubtitles - a browser-based AI subtitle generator for creating animated captions and engaging video content.
Since then, I’ve completely rebuilt the product from the ground up. The new version introduces a redesigned workflow, subtitle timeline editing, direct canvas editing, AI enhancement tools like automatic emojis, improved animated caption presets, and much better customization controls.
One of my biggest goals was making video editing feel lightweight and fast. AutoSubtitles uses client-side video processing, extracts audio locally for transcription, then handles subtitles, animations, styling, and rendering directly in the browser - without requiring large video uploads or heavy editing software.
Would love to hear your feedback and feature ideas ❤️
Congrats on the launch! Super clean concept! Subtitles are practically mandatory for short-form content now, so automation like this is incredibly useful. How does the AI handle audio with heavy background noise or multiple speakers overlapping?
The animated captions and viral preset styles are such a time saver — usually you'd spend hours getting this right in Premiere or CapCut. Really like that it's all browser based so there's no software to download. Would love to see it handle auto-placement too so captions don't cover faces or subtitles.
Portrait captions — do any presets keep text above the TikTok bottom UI, or is it manual every time?
Are we able to also edit the videos from it's transcript like @Descript or this product specialises in subtitles and captioning only?
First of all congratulations to the Autosubtitles team. I just went through your landing page and the feature breakdown looks incredibly clean. I noticed in your FAQ that the video processing stays entirely local on the device and only the audio track goes to the server for transcription. Like this fantastic approach to keep data private. A question came to my mind about the export process. Do you handle the local video burning directly in the browser using WebAssembly or FFmpeg.wasm.... or does the browser canvas handle the video stitching during export?
And definitely dropping an upvote for this. Wishing you the best on the launch today, @davidee.
