From spoken words
to the final frame.
Your timeline is where the story comes together.
That’s where your captions should be, too.
Let your Mac listen.
Generate word-timed captions with local speech recognition. Your audio is processed on your Mac, without a cloud transcription service.
Make it your own.
Pick a Motion template, tune the look and bring your captions back into a tidy compound clip in your timeline.
NEW IN 1.1.1
Come back to an edit
without starting over.
Smart Cache, caption editing, Smart Search and about 100 languages. Plus two fixes we made before release.
SMART CACHE1.1.1
Same clip, no second wait.
Smart Cache remembers what it has already transcribed. Run a clip again and it comes back at once. Extend it, and only the new part is processed.
Press Transcribe to run the whole clip.Transcribing the whole clip…Done. The whole clip was transcribed.Back at once. Nothing had to be transcribed.Clip extended. Run it again to see what happens.Transcribing only the new part…Done. Only the new part went through Whisper.
An illustration. Real time depends on your Mac, the clip and the model.
Fix it before it hits the timeline
Correct a name, change start and end times, or remove a line. Your edits are saved on your Mac and come back next time.
Find any line, in any clip
Search every caption across all your clips. See the text, the file and the timecode. A click won’t jump to the clip.
Try typing “light”
- The light was better by the window.
- Let’s check the light before we start.
- Welcome back to the channel.
- So how did you get started?
- Thanks for coming, Sophie.
Nothing found. Try another word.
~100 Auto Detect
About 100 languages + Auto Detect
That is the model’s coverage. We did not test every language, so review your captions. Accuracy depends on the language, recording and speaker.
AND TWO FIXES
01 Captions no longer pile up on top of each other, and every caption now has a remove button.
02 Captions stay in sync when your audio is detached or comes from a separate recorder.
Why it’s 1.1.1, not 1.1 ↗02 / GIVE YOUR WORDS SOME CHARACTER
Same words.
Different energy.
Five built-in Motion templates.
A style for the story you’re telling.

THE FIRST FRAME1.0Your words. In motion.
Meet FCP AI-Toolkit 1.0. From speech to animated titles.
Our first release brings local AI transcription and five Motion title templates into your Final Cut Pro workflow.
What do I need to run it?
Built for Apple silicon. Requires macOS 26.4 or later and Final Cut Pro. Check the current Mac App Store listing for compatibility before downloading.
What’s free, and what’s paid?
The app is free to download, with Motion templates you can install and use independently in Final Cut Pro. Automatic AI caption generation requires an active monthly subscription. Current pricing and any trial eligibility are shown in the App Store.
Does my audio leave my Mac?
Transcription is processed locally. An internet connection is needed to download models and for App Store purchases or subscription checks. Read our privacy policy for details.
Can I change how the captions look?
Yes. Choose from Basic, Highlighted, Highlighted with Background, Pop and Beast Pop, then adjust styling such as the font, colours and position.
What’s new in 1.1.1?
Smart Cache, caption editing, Smart Search, about 100 languages with Auto Detect, and a layout that fits smaller windows. Read the full story.
Why 1.1.1 and not 1.1?
1.1 was finished, then a last test on real projects found two bugs. We fixed both the same day and renumbered. 1.1.1 is 1.1 plus two fixes. The full story.
Which languages can I use?
About 100, plus Auto Detect. That is the speech model’s coverage. We did not test caption quality in each language, so accuracy depends on the language, recording, speaker and model. Please review your captions.
LESS CAPTIONING. MORE CREATING.
Your next story.
With every word.
