NATIVE MAC APP
Subtitles in Final Cut Pro
in minutes
GoCap turns the spoken word in your video into subtitles with timing you can actually read — and sends them straight to Final Cut Pro. Runs entirely on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.
macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon · 9 interface languages · offline transcription
The old way: export, transcribe elsewhere, import to FCP, Duplicate Captions — and zero control over readability.
Built on readability rules, not guesswork
Readability rules
Max 42 characters per line, CPS up to 17, min/max subtitle duration — and no orphan prepositions left at the end of a line. Red CPS in the table instantly flags a subtitle that’s too fast to read.
Live preview right in the video
Subtitles play burned straight into the picture, at the same size you’ll see after import. Click a row in the table to jump to exactly that spot in the video.
Your footage, your rules
Let Whisper transcribe 24 languages, or import an existing SRT and tweak it. Save work in progress as a project and pick up later without re-transcribing. Everything runs locally on your Mac’s Neural Engine.
Free.

GoCap is free — no trial, no subscription, no watermark. If it saves you time, a coffee on Ko-fi is warmly appreciated.
Before you ask
No. Transcription runs locally on your Mac via the Neural Engine. Your video and audio never leave your computer.
The interface runs in 9 languages and transcription handles 24 languages, or you can let it detect the language automatically.
Not necessarily — GoCap exports standard SRT for any editor. The import is just tuned for the Final Cut workflow.
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 14 or later.
Nothing. GoCap is free with no limits. Ko-fi support is entirely optional.
