CapBeat
Vocals get separated from the instrumental locally, then captioned word by word. 14 โ 47 recognized words on the same clip. Free without watermark, Pro one-time. Aditionally auto-animating of Images and video-elements.
CapBeat is a Premiere Pro plugin for word-by-word, social-style captions โ the kind you'd normally get from a web upload service, generated instead directly on your timeline with nothing ever leaving your machine.
What sets it apart: it's the only Premiere plugin that reliably captions music. Standard speech recognition is trained on spoken language, so a beat under the voice makes it guess wrong. CapBeat runs a vocal-separation step first (Demucs, open-sourced by Meta) to isolate the voice from the instrumental, then transcribes that โ turning a garbled 14-word guess into the complete, correctly-timed lyric.
Beyond captions, CapBeat also includes 19 drop-in object animations (fly-ins, pops, spins, true motion blur via Premiere's own Transform effect) applied with one click and zero manual keyframing, plus SRT export for any other workflow.
Free tier: full recognition quality (up to Whisper Large-v3), no watermark, videos up to 10 minutes, 5 animations. Pro (โฌ79 one-time, no subscription): music mode, all caption styles, all 19 animations with motion blur, unlimited video length, SRT export.
Everything โ transcription, vocal separation, rendering โ runs locally on Windows. No account, no cloud processing, no per-video cost.
