Animated captions that stay in sync
Give every word a look that fits your video.
Type a line. Watch 26 treatments paint it.
Every tile below is a real Clyps template painting your words over a real exported frame, with the word highlight walking the line the way the export renders it. Filter by group, change the footage, then use the one that fits.

Style
Choose from 30 templates across seven groups.
Type
Change font size, caption width, and text color.
Emphasis
Set highlights and background treatments.
Position
Move captions clear of faces and feed controls.
Check every change in the preview before exporting. Styling never changes the transcript timing.
Ready for the feed
Captions appear directly in your MP4. Export in 720p, 1080p, or 4K, with no separate subtitle file to attach.
Create auto captions, then correct the words
Clyps transcribes the speech in your uploaded video. Open a clip, compare the captions with the audio, and fix names or numbers before choosing animation. Word-reactive templates need word timing; compatible phrase styles work with phrase timing.
An animated caption should help someone follow the sentence. Keep fast dialogue readable and move the words away from a face or product demonstration. Check the full clip at phone size, including moments where bright footage appears behind the text.
Caption a guest name without changing the audio
Suppose an interview transcript spells a guest name incorrectly. With word timing, edit the caption text while keeping its timing. Play that sentence again to check the name appears during the right spoken words. Then check the next caption group for wrapping. A text correction does not remove speech from the source recording.
Choose a quieter caption style for a detailed tutorial. The viewer needs to see the demonstration as well as read the words. Use a stronger highlight when it helps identify the word being spoken.
Try the captions before choosing a paid plan
Clyps Free includes 30 source minutes, 10 finished minutes, and three exports per month. Free exports have a Clyps watermark and free media expires after seven days. Creator starts at $19 monthly with 300 source minutes, 120 finished minutes, and 60 exports. Paid plans remove the Clyps watermark.
What to expect
Captions start with the speech in your uploaded video.
Speech required
Silent footage and music alone do not produce transcript captions.
Editable presets
Restyle the included templates; custom motion graphics and separate subtitle files are not supported.
Caption questions
- Are auto captions included in Clyps?
- Yes. Captions begin with the speech transcript. You can choose an included template and adjust its appearance before exporting. Review the transcript for accuracy.
- Does editing caption text change the spoken audio?
- No. Caption corrections change the words displayed on screen. They do not replace the voice or remove a spoken sentence.
- Can I export captions separately?
- Clyps currently renders captions into the MP4. Separate subtitle-file export is not included in this workflow.
- Are captions timed to individual words?
- Word-reactive styles use word timing when available. Otherwise, compatible captions follow spoken phrases.
- Can I correct the transcript?
- With word timing, you can correct or hide individual words without changing their timing or cutting the audio.
- Which files can I upload?
- MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM, up to 20 GB. Keep recordings around 40 minutes or shorter and keep the upload page open until it finishes.
