The details

What you get

Every animation kept

All 77 highlight animations and 34 entries render into the file, so your editor does not need a plugin.

Follows your cuts

With jump cuts, the transparent export is drawn on the shortened timeline.

See the transparency

The finished window plays WebM and shows a PNG sequence's first frame over a checkerboard.

Footage stays local

Like every export, it is made on your computer.

Try it free, export with Pro

On the Free plan you can set up transparent captions, preview it and hear it. When you export, Captixa lists the Pro features in use: upgrade, or export without them. Nothing in your project is switched off.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Something else on your mind? Contact us and a real person will reply.

Which editors can use it?

ProRes 4444 .mov files open in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and After Effects. WebM with alpha is for the web, and a PNG sequence works almost anywhere.

Does it include sound?

No. Transparent exports carry only the captions, at the video's frame size and length.

Can I preview the ProRes file in Captixa?

ProRes cannot play inside Captixa, so the finished window says where to open it. WebM and PNG sequences preview over a checkerboard.

Is it on the Free plan?

You can pick a transparent format and set it up on the Free plan. Exporting it needs Captixa Pro.
