Stick with CapCut since it handles both vertical and landscape ratio swapping instantly in the project settings. For auto captions without paying premium, record on phone or PC, edit the master cut, then auto generate text overlays before re-framing to 9:16 or 16:9 for clean exports.

Try CapCut on your phone - it lets you shoot, trim, add captions and export both portrait and landscape with a single tap.
If you need higher resolution you may hit the free-tier export limit, so consider upgrading or switching to iMovie on a Mac for unlimited output.

InShot lets you pick 9:16 or 16:9 first and then add captions with its built-in text tool. Just import your clip, set the aspect ratio in the canvas menu, and tap the "T" icon to type captions manually.
