Why we like it

Captioneer earns its place in the aescripts library for handling captions in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, with Auto-Captions and an offline workflow kept current through frequent updates.

What is Captioneer?

Captioneer, developed by Mograph Mindset, adds captioning to both After Effects and Premiere Pro. It generates captions in seconds and supports unlimited captions for all languages, covering work across the two applications from one plugin.

At its core is Auto-Captions, which can run on selectable transcription models including Large V3 and process on Auto, GPU, or CPU. An offline workflow is available, and captions can be imported from SRT files. Additional tools include filters, MOGRT updates, precomps for After Effects, Sync All, Copy and Paste Motion Attributes, and the option to generate a caption track from Auto-Captions.

Captioneer sits at number 10 in the aescripts library. It supports After Effects and Premiere Pro versions 2022 through 2026, and a demo video is available. Version 1.7.6, released in May 2026, updated activation through the aescripts manager app and fixed a long audio transcription bug.

Frequently asked questions

Does Captioneer work with After Effects and Premiere Pro 2026?

Captioneer supports After Effects versions 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and the same range of Premiere Pro releases from 2022 through 2026. Support for After Effects arrived with the 1.7.0 release in January 2026, and the current version, 1.7.6, was released on May 24, 2026. If you are running one of these listed versions of either application, Captioneer is built to work with it. For any newer release, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details.

Can Captioneer run Auto-Captions on GPU or CPU?

Captioneer lets you choose Auto, GPU, or CPU for Auto-Captions processing, an option added in the 1.7.3 release. Auto-Captions can run on selectable transcription models, including Large V3, and an offline workflow is available. You can also generate a caption track from Auto-Captions and use a Stop button to halt processing. These options give you control over how transcription runs on your system. For setup specifics, refer to the developer's page.

Is Captioneer free?

Captioneer is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, so for current pricing and license options head to the developer's page. Captioneer does include a free trial, which was upgraded from 30 to 60 seconds in the 1.7.5 release from April 2026. Beyond the trial, the developer's page is the place to confirm which licenses are available and which one fits your workflow.

Can Captioneer import SRT files?

Captioneer supports importing captions from SRT files, and an SRT import bug fix shipped in the 1.5.4 release. Alongside import, Captioneer includes filters, MOGRT updates, precomps for After Effects, a Sync All feature, and Copy and Paste Motion Attributes. Auto-Captions can also generate a caption track directly, so you are not limited to importing existing files. For details on supported formats, check the developer's page.
