Add word-by-word captions to your shorts

Many people watch short videos without sound, so captions decide whether they follow along. VideoShort writes them from the speech and highlights each word as it is said.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Upload your video

    The speech is transcribed automatically when you process it.

  2. 2

    Choose one of 31 styles

    Karaoke, Beasty, Deep Diver, Glow, Neon, Typewriter and more are ready to use.

  3. 3

    Make it yours

    Change the font, size, colours and position, then export.

What makes these clips work

  • Keep lines short

    Two or three words at a time are easier to read on a phone than full sentences.

  • Use one highlight colour

    One colour for the active word is easier on the eye than several.

  • Read before you export

    Automatic transcripts can mishear names, brands and rare words.

Good to know

Are the captions burned into the video?

Yes. The captions you choose are part of the exported clip.

Can I change a misheard word?

Review your clip in the editor before the final export.

Do I need to write a transcript?

No. It is created automatically from the speech in your video.
