videolab

Likely getting $125 in leaderboard rewards this week, and I want to pay it forward to supporting creators.

I noticed many videos here don’t have captions. It’s a small edit that makes a big difference for viewers.

Captioning apps on mobile are convenient, but they aren’t free. So I’m thinking I’d like to sponsor a few creators’ caption app subscriptions.

Two questions:

- What are the best mobile apps for captions you’re using?
- What’s a fair way to pick who gets it? (I’m thinking: people who’ve already casted at least one video for Farcaster that isn’t recycled from existing social media, with demonstrated intent to create more.)

I got really put off by CapCut when I heard that even using the app just for drafts could mean they claim rights of your content. I’m not sure if that’s a rumor or actually true, but I was about to get the yearly subscription when this news came out, and now I’m hesitant.

I would really like to avoid CapCut if I can for similar reasons, so maybe I'll share a breakdown of all the available caption apps (features, pricing, privacy).
