Captioned with ClipSubtitles
See how it works
Every caption in this video was made with ClipSubtitles.
Animated video captions
Choose a caption style that fits your video.
Explore readable looks and motion presets for short-form video. Preview a direction, then reuse it to keep every clip in a series visually consistent—without manual keyframes.
Rendered preview
Previewing Bold Pop with Spring Pop motion.
Motion is shown at its end state because your system prefers reduced motion.
Style · Bold Pop
Motion · Spring Pop
Each style comes with a matching motion; change either. In the studio you preview the exact current version of your own clip at low resolution before you export.
How to add captions to a video
Upload your clip. Leave with polished captions.
01Words
Speech becomes word-timed captions. If it hears “there” when you said “their”, correct that one word without rebuilding the rest.
02Look
Pick a readable caption style and motion, then preview the current version of your clip before you export.
03Download
Export a captioned video, a transparent overlay, or subtitle files — all from the same reviewed words and timing.

Questions
Questions about automatic video captions.
How do I add captions to a video?
Upload a short video and ClipSubtitles generates timed captions from its speech. Review the transcript, choose a style and motion, preview the result, then export the captioned video or subtitle files you need.
Can I edit automatic video captions?
Yes. Review the transcript and change individual words before you export. The surrounding word timing stays in place, so a small correction does not mean rebuilding the whole caption track.
Can I create animated captions?
Yes. Choose a caption style and motion preset, then preview the current version of your clip before starting a paid render.
Which subtitle and video files can I export?
Choose a captioned video, transparent caption overlay or separate subtitle file from the same reviewed words and timing.
Can an AI agent caption videos through an API?
Yes. Agents can import a clip, generate captions, apply word edits, choose a style, request a preview and prepare an export through MCP or the video caption API. A person still approves before a paid export begins.
