Quick answer

Vizard AI is a video repurposing tool that turns long recordings into short clips with captions. It has a free plan (60 credits per month, 720p export) and paid Creator and Business plans that add 4K export, SRT download, and watermark removal. AnimateCaptions is an alternative when you already have the short clip and want detailed control over animated, burned-in captions.

Key takeaways

  • Vizard AI's free plan lists 60 credits per month, 720p export, and 3-day storage.
  • Vizard's paid plans add 4K export, SRT transcript download, and no watermark.
  • AnimateCaptions does not cut long videos into clips; it captions clips you upload.
  • AnimateCaptions exports burned-in MP4 only — no SRT.
