Templates and automatic subtitles

Every generated clip already comes with subtitles and a look applied. This article explains where both come from.

Automatic subtitles

Subtitles are generated from the audio transcript, timed word by word. That's why they arrive already in sync with the speech — and why fixing them is a small edit, not a retype.

Transcription covers more than 40 languages, with particular care for Brazilian Portuguese: regional accents and slang included.

You can also generate subtitles in a language other than the one spoken in the video, when you want to take the same cut to a different audience. Translation is an optional extra with its own credit cost — see how credits work.

To fix the text on one specific clip, see editing a clip before rendering.

What a template is

A template is the clip's look, saved for reuse: subtitle style, font, colors, outline, spoken-word highlight, position on screen, animations, frames, layout.

It's what makes a run of cuts feel like they came from the same channel, instead of ten unrelated videos.

Applying it to one clip

In the editor, pick a template and it's applied to the open clip. You're still free to adjust anything afterwards — a template is a starting point, not a straitjacket.

Applying it to a batch

Here's the real win. In a submission's clip list, select the clips (or all of them) and apply the template to the whole batch.

How it works under the hood: CutPro analyzes the video once and reuses that analysis across every selected clip, applying them one by one. The screen shows the progress, and you can leave the page — when you come back, the work picks up where it left off.

Two rules:

• One batch at a time. If one is already running, wait for it to finish.
• If the template can't be applied to some clips, the message tells you how many failed; the rest stay applied.

Saving your own

When you land on a look that works, save it as a template. From then on it's available for any clip or batch — including the clips that live monitoring generates on its own, which is the most practical way to keep your identity in an automatic flow.

Template community

There's a shared gallery where creators publish ready-made styles. It's useful in two ways: starting from something good instead of building from scratch, and seeing how other people solve subtitles and framing. You apply and adjust on top.

The order that avoids rework

Review the subtitles before applying the template and exporting. Since exporting joins a render queue, fixing things afterwards means exporting again — which costs no credits, but costs queue time.
