CastCut › Filipino captions

Filipino captions in Final Cut Pro, finally

Final Cut Pro’s own caption detection does not support Filipino. CastCut transcribes Filipino and Taglish on your Mac and delivers the captions straight into the timeline, or as a captions-only file you paste onto any project.

Two ways to use it

  1. With the full edit. Make the multicam edit as usual. Captions arrive inside the Final Cut Pro timeline as real Final Cut captions, tagged Filipino, timed to the edited episode.
  2. Captions only. Just need captions for a project you cut elsewhere? Choose File, Export Transcript, then Final Cut captions only. Open the file, select all captions, and paste them onto your main project.

Taglish works best pinned

For a conversation that switches between Filipino and English, set Settings, Spoken language to Filipino. Pinning the language keeps the whole episode consistent instead of flipping mid-sentence.

Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve

Export the captions as SRT and import them into Premiere Pro or Resolve. Word, plain text and VTT are there too for show notes and websites.

Private by design

Transcription runs on your Mac after a one-time download. Nothing is uploaded, so unreleased episodes stay yours.
