Add auto captions to your recorded videos

Open a clip after transcription, review the words against the audio, and choose a caption style. With word timing, correct individual words without changing their timing. Set the caption size, width, color, and position, then preview the result. A spelling correction changes the displayed text; it does not replace what the person said.

A fast interview needs short, readable groups of words. A screen demonstration needs captions placed away from the field the presenter is using. Test the clip at phone size with the sound off, then listen once more to check the transcription. Clyps includes 106 caption templates; the right one is the one your viewer can follow.

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.

Start with names, technical terms, amounts, and negatives such as “not.” An error in any of these can change the point of a clip. Play the original audio while reviewing the text, especially when speakers overlap or a sentence contains an unfamiliar acronym.

Choose a caption style with clear contrast against the actual video. Keep text away from faces and important objects. A quiet interview can support animated emphasis; a dense screen demonstration often benefits from a simpler caption treatment. Preview at a small size before deciding.

Clyps’ clip workflow produces video with visible captions. If a distributor requires a separate SRT or VTT file, confirm that requirement before choosing your workflow; this page does not promise a sidecar-file export. Captions burned into existing source footage are part of the image and cannot be corrected as editable text.

Suppose the speaker says, “Do not increase the amount,” but the transcript omits “not.” Correct that line while listening to the source before considering its visual style. Then review the quantity mentioned in the next sentence and the name of the material. Preview the captions as they appear over the actual clip, because a correct sentence can still be difficult to read if it arrives in dense blocks. Choose a quieter style when the footage already contains detailed information. This review order puts meaning first, followed by timing and presentation. It is particularly useful for demonstrations where a small transcription error could change the instruction.

Do not guess an unclear name or word just to complete the text. Return to the original recording, compare the surrounding speech, and use an authoritative spelling reference if available. If overlap makes the passage unintelligible, choose a cleaner excerpt. Captions should help viewers understand the recording, not manufacture certainty that the source does not contain.
