Subtitle Studio
Subtitle Studio
Subtitle Studio is a subtitle app for Mac that automatically turns your video into editable subtitles. It transcribes locally on your Mac, you refine in the editor and export straight to SRT or VTT for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.
From €69 per year excl. VAT. Unlimited subtitling, no per-minute fees.
FreeTry it on 3 of your own videos, no payment details →Subtitle Studio does more than transcribe. You refine in an editor with terminology management, quality control and version history, then export directly to SRT or VTT for your editing software. Faster results, without compromising quality.

Subtitle Studio is built by GuifiLab, the development team of Guifi in the Netherlands. We make video ourselves too and subtitle our own work with it. That is where most improvements come from. By makers, for makers.
See what we makeNot just generating subtitles, but delivering them consistently, verifiably and quickly.
GuifiLab builds the interface; how it works also depends on Whisper, Apple macOS and, if you switch them on yourself, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and Hugging Face. What works with what
Local speech recognition with word-level timing and language detection.
QC flags mark risky cues; validation on overlap, length and CPS.
Find & replace, undo, shortcuts, version history, frame timing.
Who says what: automatic dialogue dashes per speaker (Pro).
Style rules per client or platform: 16:9, 9×16, broadcast.
SRT, VTT, TC-offset for DaVinci and ZIP delivery in one click.
One transcription, two exports at once: 16:9 for your edit and a 9×16 story version. No double work.

Yes. With the free trial you try Subtitle Studio on 3 of your own videos, with the complete Pro workflow and no time limit. After that your work stays available; for new videos you choose Budget or Pro. Every licence also comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Local AI correction is free; cloud (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or Mistral) works through your own key. In practice the costs are minimal: often a few cents to euros per hour of video.
Export an audio track without music and sound effects. Clean, dry speech produces the most accurate subtitles; music and SFX can disrupt the transcription.
Yes, that's on the roadmap. The Mac version is currently the most refined.
