"Video translation" can mean translated captions, translated speech, or a project you can keep editing. Those are three different jobs, and the useful comparison is usually about what you end up with and what you can still change afterwards.
CapCut offers translation tools within its editor, subject to regional availability. AITrans Studio lets you review the Chinese transcript and English translation before dubbing, then use the outputs available on your task or continue in your editor.

CapCut's AI Dubbing page describes speech translation, retaining the speaker's style, and auto-generated captions. It notes availability in specific regions. Official documentation checked 2026-10-07.
CapCut's How to Import Subtitles help page documents SRT import on Desktop and Web, and states that mobile has no direct SRT import. Also read on 2026-10-07.
Check the available translation controls in your own CapCut app and account before choosing a workflow.
This workflow fits jobs where translation review and a target-language voice track are both part of the deliverable.

Source of the AITrans column: our own compatibility test covered Windows CapCut 9.4.0.4015 desktop only — playback, subtitles, save/reopen, and export. CapCut Mac, web, mobile, and other versions were not tested. We did not test CapCut's documented SRT import workflow as part of that compatibility check.

AITrans exports two separate draft formats: Jianying (剪映) and CapCut, built from the same media, subtitles, and timeline. The CapCut draft passed our Windows CapCut 9.4.0.4015 desktop test — playback, subtitles, save/reopen, and export all worked. CapCut Mac, web, mobile, and other versions are unverified; for those, the MP4, SRT, and audio downloads remain available.
Yes. Studio supports per-line review before generation. A post-completion Edit stage may also be offered, and using it can involve task, plan, or access charges — check the controls shown on your completed task.
The traditional workflow supports Chinese↔English. For a Chinese→English example, see the sample in the translation guide.
Current base-plan source-length limits: 10 minutes for Free, 45 minutes for Plus, and 3 hours for Pro. These apply to one source video, not processing credits or preview length. See current pricing, then review the limit and estimate on the creation page before uploading.
Monthly USD plan pricing: Plus — $16.99; Pro — $49.99. A monthly plan purchase covers one month with no automatic renewal. These are plan prices, not a quote for one video. Processing depends on your task settings and available credits. Check the task estimate and current pricing before confirming.
Listen to the Chinese→English sample, then open the trial page and select Chinese→English when it is available in the live preview selector. The watermarked preview needs no account or card. The licensed case notes document the source and verification context.
