What does the free Subtitle Formatter do?
Break a raw transcript into readable subtitle lines for a cleaner caption pass. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
How long are the subtitle lines?
Up to 42 characters, which is the common ceiling for a readable single caption line. Words are never split across two lines.
Does the Subtitle Formatter use AI?
No. The Subtitle Formatter runs a fixed set of rules in your browser and your text is never sent anywhere. AutoEdit uses Claude inside the Premiere Pro plugin, where it reads the transcript and builds the rough cut.
