HookWise
For TikTok creators

Make TikTok clips from long videos with captions that read with the sound off

Captions appear word by word in time with the voice, keywords get their own color, and the post text is ready to copy when it is time to upload.

What makes TikTok content slow

Lots of people watch muted

On the train, at the office, in bed. A clip that relies only on sound gets skipped.

Typing subtitles by hand

Typing and syncing subtitles line by line in a phone editor often takes longer than cutting the video.

Posting goes off schedule

The clip is finished but never goes up, or the caption and hashtags get written five minutes before posting.

How to make a TikTok clip in HookWise

  1. 1

    Import the source video

    A live, a vlog, a podcast or an older YouTube video. Whisper writes a word-level transcript offline.

  2. 2

    Choose a caption look

    There are 10 style presets, 4 modes including karaoke and active word + pop, and 5 text animations. AI can suggest which keywords to highlight.

  3. 3

    Add TikTok touches

    Stickers from 62 emoji, a hook line in the opening seconds, and your own music with ducking so the voice stays clear.

  4. 4

    Schedule and upload

    Export with the TikTok preset, put it on the calendar, and a reminder shows up 15, 30 or 60 minutes ahead. The Upload Kit copies the caption and hashtags and opens the TikTok upload page.
