SRT GOBLIN — DIRTY LITTLE CAPTION SYNTH
SRT Goblin app — styled captions on black canvas ready for export
SECTION 02 — DEMO

Turn clean captions into moving little incidents.

Start with a normal subtitle file. End with a styled caption overlay that actually belongs in your edit.

GENERIC CAPTIONS
Clean. Predictable. Everywhere.
This is a subtitle.

SRT GOBLIN
Motion. Grain. Glow. Rot. Rhythm. Bad ideas.
THIS IS A SUBTITLE.
▶ BEFORE / AFTER VIDEO — REPLACE WITH REAL EMBED
SECTION 03 — WORKFLOW

Feed. Twist. Export.

Three steps. One SRT. Whatever captions you'd actually want to use.

01
FEED IT SRT

Drop in your subtitle file. Make it anywhere you want — Captions, CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut, a transcript tool, whatever. The Goblin only needs the SRT.

02
CHOOSE A MOOD

Start with Goblin presets, start fresh, or hit ROLL THE GOBLIN and let the randomizer make the first bad decision. Good and Evil modes included. TRASH drawer included for people who should know better.

03
EXPORT THE OVERLAY

Download an MP4 caption layer, place it above your video, set blend mode to Screen, and keep torturing it in your timeline. We don't judge.

☠ SRT IN. GOBLIN OUT. TIMELINE SURVIVES. ☠
SECTION 04 — WHY THIS EXISTS

For captions that put a smile on your face.

Built for the moment when you realize you can't use the same styles that everybody else is using.

01 ────
TEMPLATE CAPTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE

Modern caption tools are fast, useful, and often painfully predictable. Great for speed. Not always great for taste.

02 ────
AFTER EFFECTS IS OVERKILL

Excellent software. Wrong size hammer when you just want your subtitles to stop looking dead.

03 ────
EVERYONE HATES SUBSCRIPTIONS

Not every tiny creative tool needs a monthly plan, a dashboard, and a growth funnel.

04 ────
YOU ALREADY HAVE THE SRT

You can keep your existing workflow. Make subtitles wherever you like. Like you did till now. Then feed the SRT to the Goblin.

05 ────
MANUAL STYLING BURNS TIME

Presets first. Knobs second. Existential crisis optional.

06 ────
NO CHOKING ON YOUR DATA

The web app has a very small footprint. You upload almost nothing. We keep nothing. The dirty magic happens inside your browser.

SECTION 05 — FEATURES

SECTION 09 — FAQ

Questions for the Goblin.

No. It styles subtitles you already have. The Goblin is a stylist, not a transcriptionist.
No. The Goblin has taste, not language skills.
Yes. Make or edit your subtitles wherever you like, export SRT, then feed it to the Goblin.
No. You only use your SRT file. The Goblin never sees your video.
No. It runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your machine.
Because MP4 transparency is a compatibility mess. Black + Screen blend is simple, stable, and editor-friendly.
No. One-time payment. Lifetime access.
Some effects flash. Use them like an adult. Strobe effects should be avoided for sensitive viewers.
Yes, with a valid license. Both pricing tiers include commercial use of exported overlays.
Some fonts do, some don't. In the app, fonts marked with ★ are safe for full Czech, Slovak and Polish diacritics. Fonts without the mark support basic Latin only — so ě, š, č and friends may not render correctly.
Place the exported MP4 on a track above your video. In the Effect Controls panel, find Opacity and change the Blend Mode dropdown from Normal to Screen. Black disappears, your styled captions stay.
Place the overlay clip on a timeline track above your video. Right-click the clip, choose Composite Mode, select Screen. Done.
Yes. Select the 9:16 format in the Canvas Format bar at the bottom of the app. The export will match your vertical frame. Then stack it above your video in your editor as usual.
Try exporting in HD instead of 4K — the resolution selector is in the Canvas Format bar. Also, some browsers handle video encoding better than others. Chrome and Edge tend to be fastest for this.
Yes. In the Presets tab, give your style a name and click Save — it downloads a small .json file to your computer. To reload it later, click Load and pick the file. No cloud, no account needed.
It runs the SRT Goblin styling engine directly on this page — every headline gets a random caption style applied to it. It's a live demo of what the tool does, showing off on its own sales page. Hit Restore to go back.
Yes, but long exports get split into chunks automatically. The app will warn you and export the parts sequentially. Stack them end-to-end in your timeline and they will line up with your video.
