Final Cut and AI generated subtitles

[HugoBertrand]

Hi, I plan to film myself for an about video, edit in Final Cut Pro X and then use Captions AI (https://www.captions.ai/) to generate subtitles automatically. Before I pay for captions, I wish to consult you guys and see if there's already a plugin (free or not free) that does that in Final Cut. Any comment or feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

"When the transcription is done, click the save button in the toolbar, and choose “SRT”."

"You can import CEA-608, iTT, or SRT caption files directly into your project."

There is a new caption plugin for Final Cut Pro that might be what you need. It’s called Magic Captions and it’s available from FxFactory. I am using it now and it’s very easy to use…all within Final Cut. No exporting, importing or other issues with SRT or other captioning files.

In 2024, I recommended "Aiko - AI Speech-to-Text" because it was free.

Now Aiko costs $24 and I have a better free recommendation:

(And now Final Cut Pro has the built-in "Transcribe To Captions" function.)

I’ve used this myself with good results. Only needed minor editing.
