FastCaptions - The fastest AI-powered subtitle tool for Final Cut Pro

FastCaptions is a native macOS tool built for speed and privacy. Unlike cloud-based wrappers, it transcribes and syncs subtitles locally using your Mac's Neural Engine. No uploads, no queues, no subscriptions. Why it stands out: • 100% Private: Your footage never leaves your Mac. • Optimized for FCPX: Generates native titles that fit your timeline perfectly. • Apple Silicon Native: Blazing fast on M1/M2/M3. • Zero Latency: Transcription starts instantly. 🚀

Hi Product Hunt! 🚀 I’m Daniel, a hobby developer and video editor. I built FastCaptions out of pure frustration. I was tired of the current landscape of captioning tools: most are slow web-apps that force you to upload your private footage to their servers, wait in a processing queue, or pay a monthly subscription just to get some text on screen. As an editor, I wanted something that felt pro: NATIVE: It had to run locally on my Mac, using the full power of Apple Silicon. PRIVATE: My footage (and my clients') should never leave my machine. FAST: No more "uploading..." bars. Just hit a button and get captions. FastCaptions is the result of that obsession. It’s a lean, mean tool designed to keep you in your creative flow within Final Cut Pro. It’s also a perfect companion to my other tool, AutoCut Pro, for those looking to automate their entire rough-cut workflow. I’ll be here all day to answer your questions, hear your feedback, and talk about the future of AI-driven video editing. Looking forward to hearing what you think! Happy editing! 🎬
