Studio Home Dashboard
Use Studio Home to resume recent projects, review recordings and caption jobs, and choose the right Velocaption workspace for the next edit.
Choose the Right Velocaption Workspace

Resume Projects from Studio Home
Use Studio Home to reopen active Velocaption projects, continue recordings, return to caption jobs, and avoid losing context between editing sessions.
Desktop Screen Recorder with Scenes and Takes
Record any available window, webcam, mic, and system audio as separate tracks organized by scenes and takes. Structured capture for video production on macOS.
Screen Recording with Multiple Takes and Scenes
Organize screen recordings into scenes with script notes and record multiple takes per scene. Review, compare, and pick the best take before editing.
Record Screen and Webcam at the Same Time on Mac
Capture any available window, webcam, mic, and system audio simultaneously as separate files on macOS. Each source stays independent for flexible editing.

Remove Silence from Video: Velocaption Silence Remover
Automatically remove silence from iPhone clips, screen recordings, and local video files. Multi-select from Finder, review waveform cuts, and send cleaned footage to captions.
Detect Silence in Audio with Waveform Analysis: Velocaption
Configure silence detection threshold, minimum duration, and padding to accurately find and mark silent sections in your audio waveform.
Cut Dead Air from Your Recording: Timeline Clip Editing
Delete, restore, and adjust silence clips on the timeline. Drag edges to fine-tune cuts and preview the result with automatic gap skipping.

Add Captions to Video with Local Transcription
Finish Mac videos with Velocaption's captions editor: local Whisper transcription, transcript review, reusable text styles, translations, overlays, music, subtitles, and Remotion export.
Local Whisper Transcription on Mac
Transcribe video to text locally on macOS using Whisper.cpp. Choose from tiny to large models with progress you can track.
Review a Transcript Before Styling Captions
Use the transcript review surface to scan low-confidence words, adjust text size, move through caption phrases, and prepare captions before styling.
Work with Original and Translated Caption Tracks
Use caption tracks to keep original and translated subtitles organized, select the active language, and preview the track that will render.
Edit Generated Subtitles and Check Confidence
Edit auto-generated subtitles word by word. Confidence underlines show where Whisper was uncertain. Right-click to revert or replace all occurrences.
Find and Replace Words in Subtitles
Find and replace a word across your entire transcript in one click. Fix names and terms Whisper consistently misspells with batch replacement.
Split and Merge Subtitle Timing
Split a subtitle word at a precise timestamp or merge adjacent words. Fix timing issues in auto-generated captions with frame-accurate control.
Re-Transcribe Video Without Losing Edits
Run Whisper again with a better model or different language without losing your manual corrections. Edited words are preserved through smart timestamp matching.
Custom Subtitle Styles
Style your captions with custom fonts, colors, backgrounds, shadows, and borders. Save styles to a library and reuse them across projects.
Set Caption and Text Overlay Defaults
Set default caption and text overlay styling before a project gets busy, so new phrases and text layers start from the same visual system.
Animated Subtitles for Video
Add enter and exit animations to your captions. Fade, slide from any direction, or scale in and out. Frame-accurate rendering in both preview and export.
Move Subtitles Per Phrase
Position individual caption phrases anywhere on the video. Drag to reposition, and watch captions smoothly glide between positions across phrases.
Custom Background for Video Layout
Set custom backgrounds behind your video content. Choose solid colors, gradients, or images. Per-scene backgrounds with smooth cross-fade transitions.
Floating Webcam Bubble in Video
Add a floating webcam bubble to your video. Choose shape, roundness, size, and crop. Position the bubble differently per scene with smooth transitions.
Convert Landscape Video to Portrait with Captions
Create landscape and portrait versions from the same recording, with separate layouts, caption positions, and floating face settings.
Add Text Overlays to Video
Add text overlays like titles and lower thirds to your video. Drag to position, resize, rotate, and control timing on the timeline.
Add Logo and Image Overlays to Video
Add logos, watermarks, and graphics to your video. Drag to position, resize, and control timing. Supports PNG transparency and built-in image library.
Picture-in-Picture Video Overlays
Add picture-in-picture video clips to your video. Position, resize, set roundness, and fade in/out. Adjacent overlays smoothly interpolate between positions.
Add Background Music to Video
Add background music or sound effects to your video with volume control, fade-in/out, and trim. Built-in audio library included. Audio loops automatically.

Convert Video to Portrait with Background
Reframe landscape or portrait videos to 9:16 with customizable backgrounds, rounded corners, and padding. Batch-process entire folders locally.
Batch Remove Background Noise from Audio and Video Files
Clean up background noise from multiple recordings at once. Three strength levels, optional post-filter, runs locally. Supports audio and video files.
Send Recordings to the Editor Without Exporting
Route recorded scenes directly to the silence remover or captions editor without re-encoding. Or export raw source files to disk.
Send Cleaned Audio to the Captions Editor
Route your silence-removed recording directly into the captions editor. Auto-creates webcam overlays, picks a background, and opens the subtitling workspace.
Export Screen and Webcam Separately with Independent Settings
Export each recording source with its own resolution and quality. Screen at native, webcam at 720p: per-source control for multi-source recordings.
