Indie dev. Built CaptionLab for Premiere

About

I'm a video editor based in Ukraine, and the founder of Edit Lab Tools. For years I watched Adobe roll out Speech-to-Text support for English, Spanish, French — and then just stop, leaving Ukrainian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, and dozens of other languages unsupported. So instead of typing subtitles by hand or paying a cloud tool to upload my footage somewhere, I built CaptionLab: a real plugin that lives right inside Premiere Pro and transcribes 99 languages, fully offline, using OpenAI's Whisper model. When I'm not building plugins, I'm editing video like everyone else here — so CaptionLab is built to solve my own problem first, and hopefully yours too. 🔗 captionlab.pro

🚀 Launching tomorrow: CaptionLab — auto subtitles for Premiere Pro, 99 languages, 100% offline

Hey Product Hunt

Tomorrow we're launching CaptionLab, and wanted to give this community a heads-up first.

Adobe Premiere Pro's built-in Speech-to-Text covers about 16 languages. If you edit in Ukrainian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, or dozens of others you don't exist to it. So editors type subtitles by hand for hours, or upload footage to a cloud tool and pay a subscription forever, hoping nobody minds their client's NDA'd project sitting on a stranger's server.

I got tired of both, so I built CaptionLab: a real plugin that lives right inside Premiere. Select a clip, hit Generate, and subtitles land on your timeline in under a minute powered by OpenAI's Whisper, running 100% locally. No cloud, no API keys, no monthly bill.
