Captions

Captions in your brand’s style, in one tap.

Slate Captions transcribe any clip, style the words in presets your brand owns, translate them for every market, and export with the video or as an SRT. On web and in the Slate mobile app (iOS and Android), for the whole team.

Features

Caption presets in your brand’s style
Font, color, outline, highlight, and animation saved as presets by the people who own the brand. The team picks a style; nobody rebuilds captions from scratch.
Translations for every market
Translate a caption track into another language in a click and export a version for each audience, with the same brand styling on all of them.
Start for free
SRT export and import
Download captions as an SRT to use anywhere, or bring an edited SRT back in. Captions travel with the video, not just on it.
Captions on your phone too
The Slate mobile app transcribes, styles, and resizes captions on the spot, so a clip from the sideline goes out captioned and on brand.

Accurate, and easy to fix
Transcription that gets names, slang, and crosstalk right far more often than it doesn’t, and a transcript you can edit like a doc when it doesn’t. Fix a word on the canvas or in the transcript and the caption updates. No retyping, no re-render.
Safe zones built in
Preview Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Snapchat overlays while you place captions, so the words never sit under a button.

Social-first styles, in your brand presets
Word-by-word pop, bouncing highlights, karaoke fills, boxed lines, the styles that stop a thumb on Reels and TikTok, built as presets in your brand’s fonts and colors. Pick one, it’s on brand, it’s done.
Dynamic AI Captions
Captions that know what’s on screen. AI emphasizes the words that matter, sizes and times them to the delivery, and places them around the subject instead of over it, tucked behind a head, beside a product, clear of the action. The look creators spend an hour on, from a preset.
Coming Soon
Ask Rio to caption it.
“Add captions in our house style.” Rio captions, cuts, and formats your footage on the same timeline, in your brand, from one sentence.

Slate has 10x’d our output and our social media channels are performing better because of the consistency they’ve been able to establish!

Gemma Donahoe

Social Media Producer at Mamamia

What would have taken days, I finished in just a few hours without sacrificing quality using Slate.

Angela Leaf

Product Communications at Atlassian

It is clear Slate was made by people who understand the needs of social media teams.

Sarah Morse

Director of Social at Vanity Fair

Slate helps our social team move faster without relying on a designer. We’re now producing 5x more videos a week, testing and optimizing in real time.

Chas Truslow

Global Head of Organic Social, Burton at Burton

Slate is a total game changer for our content team

Adena Jones

Director of Social & Digital at New York Knicks

This tool is incredible. This is actually incredible.

Julia Stern

Social Media Lead at Amazon

We did one season without Slate and it changed our lives when we got it.

Daniel Venn

Social Media Manager at St. Louis Cardinals

We couldn’t have done everything we’ve done without Slate. Our social engagement is up across the board, and more of our team can now contribute creatively.

Jason Miller

Associate Director at Arizona State University

Slate helps us move fast. When the Knicks won the NBA Championship, I captured their return to New York and edited it in Slate. FOS was first to post, and that speed made all the difference.

Christine Thuruthiyil

Director, Social at Front Office Sports

Slate is a tool that allows us to move very quickly and on brand when it comes to social creation.

Jacqui Morgan

Director of Social & Brand Campaigns at CoreWeave

One caption style for the whole team, saved once in the Brand Hub. The intern’s clip and the lead’s clip look the same, and nobody gets a note about the font.

More about Captions

What are Slate Captions?
Slate Captions are automatic, editable, on-brand captions for social video. Transcribe a clip in one tap, apply a caption preset saved in your Brand Hub, translate it for other markets, and export with the video or as an SRT, on web and iOS.
Who are Slate Captions for?
Social teams that caption every video and need them to look like the brand, not like the platform default: sports clubs, media companies, consumer brands, B2B marketing teams, and agencies, especially those publishing in more than one language.
How accurate are the captions?
Captions are generated from a transcription of your audio and are fully editable word by word, so names, terms, and timing can be fixed in the project before export. Cleaning up audio with Denoise first improves results on noisy footage.
Can captions match our brand?
Yes. Caption presets store font, color, outline, highlight, and animation. Whoever owns the brand sets them once; the team applies them with one tap.
Can I translate captions?
Yes. Translate the caption track into another language and export a version per market, keeping the same styling.
Can I export an SRT file?
Yes. Download the SRT to use on platforms that take sidecar files, edit it externally, and upload it back into the project.
Do captions work on mobile?
Yes. The Slate mobile app (iOS and Android) transcribes, styles, and resizes captions on the device, so clips made at an event go out captioned.
How is this different from CapCut auto-captions?
CapCut captions are styled per person, per video, with no shared presets and no brand controls. Slate captions pull their style from your Brand Hub, so every clip from every teammate matches, and the whole project stays in a shared, permissioned workspace.
What are Dynamic AI Captions?
Coming soon. Dynamic AI Captions read the video as well as the audio: they emphasize the words that carry the line, time them to the delivery, and place them around the subject rather than over it, behind a head, beside a product, out of the action. The result is the hand-animated caption look social creators are known for, generated from your brand preset.
