Subtitle your videos in minutes
Manual subtitling is time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to error. This project streamlines the process by automatically converting spoken content into accurate, well-timed captions. With a focus on speed, clarity, and minimal editing, it removes the friction from caption creation, resulting in polished subtitles delivered in minutes.
Step 1
Upload your video
Upload your video to the cloud so you can access it from any device, any time
Step 2
Let AI transcribe
Automatically generate subtitles powered by OpenAI's Whisper for high accuracy across accents and noise levels
Step 3
Make it yours
Choose from stylish presets or tweak fonts, sizes, colors, and animations to match your video's tone
Step 4
Render and export
Hit export and let our serverless rendering engine do the heavy lifting in just a few minutes
System Architecture
This project combines a modern full-stack setup for video processing and playback.
- Video uploads trigger SQS queues processed by Lambda functions running FFmpeg, Whisper AI, and Remotion, with monitoring via CloudWatch.
- The backend is deployed on Vercel, using tRPC for type-safe API communication, Zod for validation, and Drizzle ORM with Neon Postgres for database access.
- The frontend uses React with the Next.js App Router, styled with Tailwind and Shadcn, and integrates the Remotion Player for dynamic video playback.
From idea to execution
Executing this project expanded my toolkit and mindset. I learned how to integrate AI models responsibly, build scalable backend processes, and create interfaces that empower users. It reinforced my belief that great tools come from blending creativity with technical depth.
