Frequently asked questions
What are the best ways to add video subtitles and captions?
Many teams use AI tools to automatically transcribe speech and instantly apply subtitles. This helps save time and production costs compared to traditional editing methods.
Can auto-generated subtitles be edited?
Yes. Many tools generate subtitles as a starting point, but you can take over to make quick adjustments. Scan the transcript to change any words you prefer to display differently, like branded terms or specific style guide choices. You can also tweak the timing or change visual elements like position and sizing.
What’s the best app to add subtitles to videos?
The best apps are intuitive and simple. Subtitles are quickly becoming a must-have, so the process should be easy for everyone. Look for an app with an approachable interface and high-quality results. Your on-screen text should be clear, readable, and visually appealing. Captions makes it easy to do this, with simple tools and clear editing options.
What's the difference between subtitles and captions?
Subtitles display spoken dialogue. They’re typically for viewers who speak another language or want to watch videos without sound. Meanwhile, closed captions include both dialogue and non-speech audio cues, like music or sound effects. They can be used to add emphasis and more dramatic storytelling than subtitles on their own.

Do I need to create my own subtitle styles in Captions?
You can build custom subtitles, but you don’t have to. If you’re looking to add some color and personality to your video, check out the AI Edit style library to apply preset aesthetics. Or, use the chat-based editor to describe the vibe you're going for and evaluate various options from there. Whether you're looking for minimalist subtitles or bold, vibrant fonts, you'll find it easy to bring your vision to life.
