For content you own. Only upload videos you own or are licensed to edit. Uploads auto-delete within ~6 hours, results are never re-watermarked, and you see a free preview before paying anything.
Crops lose framing and blur boxes draw the eye. CleanReel reconstructs the background with neural inpainting and shows a quality score, so the edit is invisible — and previews are free, so a result that isn't clean costs nothing.
Yes — every captions job includes the .srt download at no cost, even on free previews. Credits are only for the burned-in video export.
It uses the Whisper family of speech models — strong on clear speech, and the free preview lets you check your clip before paying anything.
The .srt is a plain-text standard — open it in any editor or subtitle tool, tweak the text, and upload it wherever you publish.
