In this video, I’ll show you the easiest way to automatically generate and style captions directly inside Final Cut Pro using the MotionVFX M Captions AI plugin. Final Cut Pro does include a built-in captions tool, but it’s limited when it comes to styling, formatting, and adjusting sentence lengths. External tools like YouTube auto-captions or third-party platforms can work too, but they add extra steps of exporting, uploading, and re-importing your video. The most efficient option I’ve found is using a plugin right inside Final Cut Pro, which gives you accurate subtitles, fast turnaround, and full control over the look and feel of your captions. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through: • The pros and cons of each captioning method in Final Cut Pro • How to install and use MotionVFX M Captions AI • Choosing and customizing subtitle styles for your videos • Editing captions if the AI gets something wrong • Pro tips for formatting and styling subtitles so they look clean and professional Whether you’re making long-form videos, YouTube Shorts, or client projects, this workflow will save you time and make your content more engaging.
