Post-Production Captioning Software for Media
Easily create high-quality captions for post-production video with Verbit’s Captivate Post and Captivate Post Plus. Built for FAST channels, streaming platforms, and content distributors, both solutions deliver media-grade captioning, whether you want a fast AI-only output or a human QC layer added on top.
Complete, immersive captions are now the baseline, not a differentiator, and they have to hit that bar without straining your timeline or your budget. Captivate turns captioning from a manual bottleneck into a workflow that scales with your library and matches investment to content value. Whether you’re a FAST channel processing hundreds of hours of content a month or a premium streaming publisher with strict compliance requirements, Captivate Post and Captivate Post Plus give post-production teams a captioning workflow built for actual production speed.
Automatic alignment, segmentation, and formatting removes
captioning as a bottleneck so content moves to delivery on
schedule. No manual handoffs, no last minute delays.
Captivate Post Plus’s human QC layer reduces platform rejections and compliance risk, so content reaches distributors, affiliates, and streaming platforms without rework.
Match captioning investment to content value. High-volume libraries run on Captivate Post’s AI efficiency. Premium and compliance-critical releases get Captivate Post Plus’s human QC layer.
Offscreen speaker ID and 37+ automatic atmospherics labels
deliver richer captions for audiences who are Deaf or have hard of hearing.
Both products run on the same Captivate platform, so the choice really comes down to three things: how much content you’re pushing out, what your distribution partners require, and how much human review you want in the mix.

Verbit Captivate™ is Verbit’s customizable AI speech recognition platform that powers captioning across both live and post-production workflows. For media organizations, Captivate for media delivers real-time, low-latency captions for broadcasts, streaming, and live events, while Captivate Post and Captivate Post Plus extend that same underlying technology to post-production captioning for FAST channels, VOD libraries, and archived content. Learn more about the full Captivate platform and how it adapts across legal, media, corporate, and education use cases.
Post-production captioning software adds captions to video after it’s recorded and edited, rather than in real time during a live broadcast. It’s used by streaming platforms, FAST channels, and distributors to caption full episodes, series, and film libraries before release. Captivate Post and Captivate Post Plus are built specifically for this workflow, combining media-trained AI with the alignment, formatting, and QC steps distributors require.
Captivate Post delivers AI captioning built for speed and scale across high-volume libraries. Captivate Post Plus includes everything in Captivate Post, plus a human QC review layer, human-reviewed caption placement, and offscreen speaker identification, for content where distribution compliance or premium accuracy standards matter most.
It depends on the platform and content tier. Captivate Post’s AI-powered output is built for high-volume libraries where speed and cost efficiency are the priority. For distributors, affiliates, or streaming platforms with stricter compliance requirements, Captivate Post Plus adds a human QC layer specifically to reduce the risk of platform rejections and rework.
FAST channels and streaming platforms typically require accurate alignment and timing, correctly formatted commercial break segments, consistent on-screen placement, and identification of non-speech audio like sound effects and music. Both Captivate Post and Captivate Post Plus automate these requirements as part of the core workflow. Discover how media companies like Banijay Rights are using Verbit’s technology.
Offscreen speaker identification labels who’s speaking when they’re not visible on screen, such as narrators or off-camera dialogue. It’s part of delivering a complete viewing experience for audiences who are Deaf or hard of hearing, and it’s included as an add-on feature in Captivate Post Plus.
Beyond post-production captioning, Verbit supports the full media content lifecycle. For live programming, Captivate for media provides real-time captioning for broadcasts, sports, and streaming events, while Verbit’s transcription solutions convert recorded audio and video into searchable, accurate text. Media teams expanding to global audiences can also use Verbit’s dubbing and translation services for content localization, along with audio description to make video content accessible to viewers who are blind or have vision loss. Together, these solutions give media and entertainment organizations a single AI-powered partner for captioning, transcription, dubbing, and localization across live and recorded content.
