timed to the moment

The right word at the right moment.

Standard SRT timestamps full lines. Word-level SRT carries timing per word, which is what most short-form caption looks actually need.

  • Per-word caption timing in SRT
  • Tighter sync for short-form video
  • Use in Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci
  • Available on Editor and Studio plans

Problem

Line-level SRT is too coarse for short-form.

Modern short-form caption looks emphasize specific words. Line-level SRT cannot land that emphasis without manual splitting.

Line timing misses emphasis

A whole line in, a whole line out is too blunt for short-form.

Manual splitting wastes time

Editors often re-cut SRT files into word-sized chunks by hand.

Inconsistent feel across clips

Without per-word timing, captions can feel out of sync with the speaker.
