How it works

  1. Drop your project

    Drop a Premiere .prproj, a Resolve .drp, a Final Cut FCPXML, an Avid AAF, a CapCut draft or a caption file. CutConvert reads it on your computer and lists every title, lower third and caption it finds.

  2. Pick your languages

    Choose from 80+ languages and see the price before you pay. Add names and brands to "Keep these words as they are". The first 10 items in one language preview free, on screen.

  3. Review and download

    Every line is in a table with a column per language. Fix what you want, then download a project with one sequence per language, ready to open in the same editor.

Works with your editor

Each editor stores text its own way, so here is what gets translated in each one and what doesn't. Anything left out is listed in the download's report with its translation, so you can paste it in yourself.

  • Premiere Pro

    .prproj or Premiere XML

    Titles and text layers made with the Type tool or Essential Graphics, and caption tracks. Each language is a new sequence, and the original sequence stays as it was.

    Text inside Motion Graphics templates (MOGRTs), and titles inside nested or multicam source sequences, are listed with their translation for you to paste in. Caption tracks come back in each language's sequence, or as an SRT per language when they can't be written into the project. Projects saved by Premiere Pro 26 come back as a .prproj; older ones as Premiere XML. In Premiere XML, a title keeps only its first font, size and colour.

  • DaVinci Resolve

    .drp

    Text+ and Text titles, with one timeline per language in the same project.

    Subtitle tracks aren't translated inside the .drp yet: export them as SRT, translate the SRT here and import each language's file on its own subtitle track. Text drawn by other Fusion tools or by third-party title plug-ins isn't read, so it stays in the original language.

    DaVinci Resolve guide →
  • Final Cut Pro

    FCPXML or .fcpxmld

    Basic Titles, and captions in their own role for each language. You get one project per language in one event.

    Text in other title templates is listed with its translation, for you to paste into the template's fields.

    Final Cut Pro guide →
  • Avid Media Composer

    AAF

    Basic titles in the AAF, with one AAF per sequence and language. SubCap caption files (Avid TXT) translate on their own, one file per language, ready to import with the SubCap effect.

    Title Tool, Marquee and SubCap titles inside the AAF aren't read, so translate those in Media Composer. Bins (.avb) are not read for translation.

    Avid Media Composer guide →
  • CapCut

    CapCut draft

    Text layers and captions, with one timeline per language in the same draft.

    CapCut uses its own default font for fonts it can't match, so READ-ME-FIRST.txt says when a language needs a check in CapCut (Japanese, Arabic, Hindi and other non-Latin scripts). Drafts that CapCut has encrypted can't be read.

    CapCut guide →
  • Caption files

    SRT, VTT, SBV, ASS, SCC, MCC, EBU-STL, TTML, iTT, CSV, Word, Avid TXT and transcript JSON

    Every cue, as one file per language in the same format. Several languages come in one ZIP.

    CutConvert writes EBU-STL and SCC in Latin characters only. For Japanese, Arabic, Greek and other scripts, choose SRT or TTML output.

Review every line before you download

The review table has a row for each title or caption and a column for each language. Every cell can be edited, and repeated text, like a lower third used ten times, is translated once so it reads the same everywhere. These flags point at the lines to check:

  • Longer than the original

    The line may not fit where the original did.

  • This font may not have these characters

    Common with Japanese, Arabic or Hindi in a font made for Latin text.

  • Right-to-left text: check alignment in your editor

    For Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu and the rest.

  • Kept unchanged

    Names, numbers and the words on your keep list.

  • Couldn't translate, type it yourself

    The line came back empty or was refused.

Shorten asks for a shorter version of one line, and Shorten all flagged does it for every line marked longer than the original. To use your own translator, export the table as a CSV and import it back when it's done. Imported text isn't sent anywhere.

Before the download you tick a box to confirm a fluent speaker will check the translations. Each translated sequence starts with a marker named "Machine-translated: review before delivery", and the download includes a report listing every line.

What leaves your computer

Your project file stays on your computer. Only the on-screen text (titles and captions) is sent to our translation provider, Anthropic, to be translated. We don't keep that text after your job, unless you turn on translation memory (Studio). Anthropic does not use API data to train its models by default.

With the text go your list of words to keep as they are, and the sequence, track and clip names and neighbouring lines that help the translation read in context. Your media never leaves your computer. Text you import from a CSV isn't sent at all. The privacy policy has the details.

Want nothing sent at all? We may build a private mode that translates on your computer. It would be slower, and the translations weaker. Tell us if you would use it.

FAQ

How accurate are the translations?

These translations are made by AI. They're a fast first draft, not a certified translation, and they can be wrong: names, slang, jokes, legal or medical wording, and anything with double meaning are the usual problems. Please have a fluent speaker review every language before you publish or deliver. You can fix any line in the review table, and the download asks you to confirm that someone will check them.

Which languages?

More than 80, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Russian and Turkish. Regional versions such as Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Canadian French and UK English are separate choices. Languages where results tend to be weaker carry a "review carefully" note in the picker.

Will my fonts work?

A translated title keeps its font. If that font has no characters for the new script, such as Japanese in Montserrat, DaVinci Resolve shows empty boxes; Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro borrow the characters from another font. The review table flags those lines. For Resolve, CapCut, XML and AAF projects you can turn on "Swap fonts that may lack these characters": those titles then use a font for that script that comes with macOS or Windows, such as Hiragino Sans for Japanese on a Mac or Yu Gothic on Windows, so there is nothing to install.

What about right-to-left languages?

Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu and the other right-to-left languages translate like any other. CutConvert doesn't change a title's alignment, so check it in your editor; the review table marks those lines. Caption formats that store text direction, such as TTML and iTT, are written right to left.

Can I use my own translator?

Yes. Export the review table as a CSV with one column per language and send it to your translator. Import the finished CSV and CutConvert builds the project from it, with no machine translation and nothing sent. It's priced like any other job, because you still get the built project.

Is my project uploaded?

No. The project file is read on your computer, and the translated project is built there too. Only the on-screen text is sent to Anthropic to be translated. We don't keep that text after your job, unless you turn on translation memory (Studio).

What isn't translated?

Text inside Premiere Motion Graphics templates (MOGRTs) and Final Cut title templates is listed with its translation, for you to paste into the template's fields. Avid Title Tool, Marquee and SubCap titles inside an AAF aren't read, so translate those in Media Composer. Text burned into the video picture can't be read at all.

Can I translate captions only?

Yes. Drop the caption file (SRT, VTT, SCC, EBU-STL, TTML and the other supported formats) and you get one file per language in the same format. In a project, caption tracks are translated along with the titles.

Do translations count against my plan?

Pro includes 10 translated projects a month with up to 5 languages each, and Studio includes 40 with up to 80 languages. A project counts once, when you start translating it, since that's when the translation runs; downloading it again, or in another output format, is free. Translated projects have their own allowance, separate from conversions.

Why weren't my titles found?

CutConvert reads the text made with each editor's own title tools: Premiere's Type tool and Essential Graphics, Resolve's Text+, Final Cut's titles, CapCut text, basic titles in an Avid AAF, and caption tracks. Text from third-party title plug-ins, text inside an image or video file, and text burned into the footage can't be read. If your editor shows titles and none are found, email [email protected].
