How to do it
- 1
Upload your video
Add a video you own. A vlog, stream, talk or podcast all work.
- 2
Pick a caption style
Choose from 31 animated styles, then change the font, size, colours and position.
- 3
Export and post
Download the vertical clip and post it from your phone or computer.
What makes these clips work
Place captions clear of the buttons
Move captions above the bottom of the frame so the app's own controls do not cover them.
Cut the slow opening
Start on the action or the point. Remove greetings and pauses in the editor.
Use effects sparingly
A single zoom on the key word does more than constant movement.
