Urdu is usually a manual job
CapCut's auto captions work best in English and a short list of major languages. Urdu is usually typed by hand.

CapCut Urdu captions, without the fight
CapCut is great for cuts and effects. For Urdu auto captions, most creators still type right-to-left by hand or paste broken text. AutoCaption transcribes in Nastaliq (the Urdu script readers expect), times every word, and lets you burn captions in or drop an SRT straight into CapCut.

The gap
Why CapCut Urdu captions break down
Right-to-left text fights the editor
Typing or pasting Urdu in CapCut's caption editor on a phone is awkward: the cursor jumps, punctuation flips, and right-to-left lines fight a left-to-right interface.
An SRT does not carry the font
If you only export an SRT, CapCut or the player picks the typeface. You often get a Naskh-style Urdu font instead of Nastaliq.
AutoCaption is built for that gap: Urdu script, right-to-left karaoke fill, browser edit, then burn-in or SRT/VTT.
