Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Capinsta, answered.
- Is Capinsta free?
- Yes. Capinsta is free to use. You can upload videos, generate captions, style them, and export without paying.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No. Capinsta does not require an account, login, or sign-up. Just open the editor and start.
- What video formats are supported for upload?
- Common formats including MP4 and WebM. The editor accepts most video files that play in modern browsers.
- What languages are supported for caption generation?
- English, Hinglish (Hindi-English mixed), Telgish (Telugu-English mixed), and an auto-detect mode for mixed Indian-language content.
- Can I edit the generated captions?
- Yes. You can edit caption text, adjust timing by dragging on the timeline, split and merge segments, and preview changes in real time.
- What export formats are available?
- You can export a full captioned video (MP4) with subtitles burned in, or export just the captions as SRT or VTT subtitle files that work with any video editor.
- What is active-word highlighting?
- Active-word highlighting displays each spoken word with emphasis (bold, color change, or background) at the exact moment it is spoken during playback. This makes captions more engaging and accessible.
- Is my uploaded video stored permanently?
- Your video and project are stored locally in this browser until you delete the project or clear site data. Capinsta does not upload source video to its servers.
- What happens to my project if I close the browser?
- The project remains in local browser storage and can be reopened from the projects screen using the same browser profile.
- Should I download my export before leaving?
- Download finished exports when you need them as ordinary files. The editable project remains in browser storage until you remove it or clear site data.
- Are there watermarks on exports?
- No. Capinsta does not add watermarks to exported videos or subtitle files.
- Is there a file size or duration limit?
- Because Capinsta is a free, browser-based service, very large or very long videos may take longer to process or may not be supported. We recommend clips under a few minutes for the best experience.
- Can I use Capinsta captions in other video editors?
- Yes. Export captions as SRT or VTT and import them into editors like Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or any tool that supports sidecar subtitles.
