MagiaCap — Caption Editor with AI-generated transcript and title cards
I built MagiaCap because I wanted one app that transcribes my videos in any language and gives me captions ready to drop straight into my editing timeline — no more switching between tools.

Randy · Developer, MagiaCap

Split that makes sense. Emoji that fits.

Most tools split captions at the wrong spot — words that should start the next line end up stuck at the end of the last one. MagiaCap uses LLM-powered segmentation so every break reads naturally, with emoji matched to your content.

86 languages with grammar-aware line breaking — English, Dansk, 日本語, العربية, and more.

Caption Editor

Edit captions like text, not keyframes.

Perfect timing out of the box — then fine-tune every line without ever touching a keyframe.

The caption highlight travels perfectly with the voice — every line lands exactly on the right frame.

  • ✂️Split with Return — cut at the exact word boundary
  • 🔗Merge two lines — join any captions back together
  • 🥞Stack two lines — keep a top line and main captions together, timed perfectly.
  • 😀Emoji on & off — toggle context emoji with one click

Script Diff

Match the script the client approved.

Creators go off-script. MagiaCap spots every drift and lets you lock captions back to the approved script in one pass, so you ship exactly what the client signed off on.

  • 🎨Color-coded diff — see what changed from the approved script
  • ⏎Fix in one click — keep the client's wording, keep the video's timing
MagiaCap — client script vs transcript diff with color-coded differences per segment

Translation

Transcribe any language. Understand it in yours.

Get the source transcript, then a line-by-line translation right beside it — so you can follow a foreign-language video, understand what's said, and drop both subtitles straight into your timeline.

  • 🌐Translate on demand — pick the language you need
  • 📦Export both — original + translation, drop both subtitle files into your timeline

Danish on the left, English on the right — every line locked to the same moment.

Export to any editor.

Captions land exactly where you work — no re-typing, no cleanup.

FCPX Animated Titles

Any language. Word-by-word in FCPX.

FCPX's built-in transcription only speaks English — for now. MagiaCap transcribes your Danish (or any) video, then exports the captions as animated word-by-word titles straight into your Final Cut Pro timeline.

  • 🎬Word-by-word animation— every word is its own timed title, running on FCPX's Subtitle template.

Word timing follows your transcript — nudge frames in FCPX if a beat's off.

Pricing

One license. Yours forever.

Not $29/month. $29 once for one Mac. Free updates for life.

14-day money-back guarantee — no questions asked

Cloud AIRecommended — best results, fastest turnaround — about $0.04 per hour of audio with Groq Whisper + DeepSeek, Claude, or Gemini. A typical short-form video costs a fraction of a cent; even a full hour runs about five cents.
LocalFully offline with WhisperKit + Ollama. No API keys, no internet — but smaller local models can noticeably reduce transcript and caption quality. Best as a privacy option.

*Based on Groq Whisper Turbo + DeepSeek published pricing, July 2026.

Everything MagiaCap can do

You might be wondering.

App Store — buy once per Apple ID, no trial, automatic updates via the App Store. DMG — free 7-day trial, then buy a license for 1, 3, or 6 Macs. Both are the same app; the difference is how you buy and update.
For cloud AI, yes — bring your own Groq, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini key. It's recommended for the best quality and speed, and costs almost nothing: a 3-minute video runs about $0.002, and even a full 1-hour recording is roughly $0.05.* Or go fully offline with WhisperKit + Ollama — zero keys, zero cost — though smaller local models may produce lower-quality transcripts and captions.
One license = one Mac. Licenses are per-device. Need more than one? The 3-Mac ($69) and 6-Mac ($119) packs cover multiple machines at a lower price per Mac. App Store purchases are per Apple ID.
(DMG version) MagiaCap switches to read-only mode — your projects stay intact, but transcription and export are locked until you activate a license. No data loss, no surprises. The App Store version has no trial.
No. With local models, nothing ever leaves your Mac. With cloud AI, audio goes directly from your machine to the provider you choose — never through MagiaCap's servers. Your API key, your data.
14-day money-back guarantee on DMG purchases. If MagiaCap doesn't work for you, email support@magiacap.com within 14 days of purchase. No questions asked. App Store purchases follow Apple's refund policy.
Yes.FCPX's built-in transcription only works in English, but MagiaCap transcribes and translates captions in 80+ languages — then exports them as animated word-by-word titles into Final Cut Pro, or as side-by-side original + translation for any NLE.
macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Runs natively — no Rosetta, no Electron, no web wrapper. Install from the Mac App Store or via DMG.
