Generate subtitles from your video transcript automatically
A video without subtitles loses a large share of its audience: muted phones, viewers without headphones, people with hearing impairments. Typing and timing subtitles by hand is still one of the least popular steps in editing.
The problem with manual subtitling
Manual subtitling means listening to every sentence again, typing it out, matching the timing to the video, and correcting it. Technical terms, brand names, and proper nouns invite mishears, and every error in the subtitle track then propagates into every language YouTube auto-translates it into. Underestimate that lever, and you end up spending more time on subtitles than on the actual edit, and still ship a track that gets it wrong exactly where it is most noticeable.
How AgenticCutter solves it
Because AgenticCutter already transcribes your video locally with mlx-whisper, subtitle tracks in SRT or VTT format come straight out of that same transcript, with timestamps that match your finished edit exactly. A brand and name glossary keeps recurring terms from being mis-heard again in every new video. Optionally, the cutter translates the track into another language while keeping timing and brand terms intact. What you are left with is a finished subtitle track you can upload alongside your video right away. For creators looking to grow their reach across language borders, a clean primary-language subtitle track matters more than almost anything else, because YouTube's auto-translation inherits every mistake in it into every other language.
