Burned-in captions for TikTok
Burned-in captions are the look that holds attention on TikTok, where most clips are watched on mute. But transcribing, timing, and styling them for every clip is the most tedious part of making a short.
Shortie generates burned-in captions automatically. It transcribes your clip, times each line to the speech, and bakes clean, readable captions into the picture. Paired with best-moment detection and 9:16 reframe, your clips come out fully captioned and post-ready, with nothing to type.
