We FINALLY Have Good Automatic Captions!

I noticed that Subtitle Edit, a free open source caption tool, has automatic captions now! It uses Whisper, which is a super powerful tool that can transcribe audio. It will auto time, add punctuation, and more.

really cool that they responded to your feature request

[@SimonVideo]

I know!

[@GabrielSykes]

Having an easy way to use Whisper and edit the output before exporting is great, it's the best speech to text model that I'm aware of, and while I have dabbled with it, the extent of my dabbling has been testing it in a command line, which isn't practical for video editing. In terms of video editing, when I was on Premiere, I used its built in auto captioning, which isn't nearly as accurate as Whisper, but still leagues better than YT auto captioning (also giving you the ability to manually edits subs), and allowing me to export the subtitle file alongside the video file. Now I'm on DaVinci due to a long time interest in switching, as well as my strong dislike of Adobe's recent TOS changes, and as far as I know, DaVinci doesn't have an auto captioning tool like Premiere does, so what you have shown here is perfect for me, especially since I am working on projects where good quality subtitle files aren't optional, they're mandatory.

Exactly! It's super powerful! I've been wanting to switch to resolve for the same reasons you mentioned so Whisper is going to be soooooo helpful.

[@InnovationInsider1]

Yesss finally!

Isn't there a whisper large v3 model out already? And I see there's q5 models, I think that's models that are quantized down to 5 bits, which has a much better performance but at a cost of quality.

[@SimonVideo]

Oh interesting! Looks like there is a v3 model, I filmed this a week or so ago so I'm surprised it's not there.

[@mr_teevee]

I would not be surprised if OpenAI designed Whisper to censor bad words.

[@SimonVideo]

Ha I should test that out

[@ElectronicSearch3.0]

Hey, I know my comment does not relate to this video but I wanted to ask, have you tried out hrc modulators? They are essentially what actual cable tv uses, and I’ve seen them on Amazon. The reason I think they are important because this means we could use TiVos with the cable only function, or certain cable boxes with this, and also the way to test it without the cable box is if the tv identifies it as cable. If you would be able to do this, would you make a video on it? Btw they are like 34$ on Amazon and are blonder tounge ones

[@leo_craft1]

Too much right

[@riverytz]

This is fuckin cool

[@SimonVideo]

For real!
