Right now, if I upload a video and choose “Don’t Clip”, OpusClip charges 1 credit even though captions are free on the separate Free Captions page. This creates an unnecessary friction point:

Free captions exist

But users must leave the dashboard to access them

Doing it inside the dashboard costs credits

This punishes users for workflow convenience, not usage

For creators who move fast, this is inefficient and feels like being charged for something OpusClip already offers for free.

Proposed Solution:

Enable the free captioning engine directly inside the main dashboard when someone selects “Don’t Clip.” No credits should be used, since the same service is already free elsewhere.

Why This Matters:

Improves workflow efficiency

Reduces unnecessary navigation

Avoids accidental or unintended credit usage

Creates a consistent user experience

Helps creators who need captions without wanting clips

This small UX fix would solve a daily frustration and streamline the platform for creators who rely on captions as part of their content workflow.
