Caption Comet Release Notes

Improved the burned-caption export wording to make it clear that Caption Comet creates a new video while leaving your original file untouched. Thanks to user feedback for helping make the app clearer.

• Added support for redeeming App Store offer codes directly in Caption Comet
• Fixed a critical issue that could prevent transcription from starting on some systems

Word Timing Offset is now available throughout Quick Mode, Project Mode, and configurable Drop workflows. Shift generated captions earlier or later by a precise number of milliseconds, save the value in presets and defaults, and see the applied offset in generated track and output file names.

This update also adds subtitle-editor timing shift controls and improves phrase splitting, merging, and timing adjustment behavior.

Caption Comet 1.1 adds a faster, more flexible workflow for individual videos and large batches.

• Redesigned Quick Mode with a configure-first workflow
• Process mixed batches containing different resolutions, aspect ratios, containers, and codecs
• Three independently configurable drop targets for keeping multiple workflows ready
• Assign one drop target to the Dock icon, then drop files or folders directly onto Caption Comet
• Expanded Project Mode import options, including transcription quality and preview-proxy behavior
• Added Clear Queue for removing completed, failed, and cancelled items
• Improved window sizing and layout when switching between Quick Mode, Project Mode, and Templates
• Fixed inconsistent dropdown sizing
• Fixed portrait videos appearing horizontally in the Burn Settings Source preview
• Improved Help, support, privacy, and feedback resources
• Additional reliability, queue, and interface improvements
