How to add auto-captions & TTS (Web/Desktop/Mobile)

Auto-captions

  1. Open your project and place the clip on the timeline.
  2. Go to Text → Auto Captions, choose the spoken language, then Create.
  3. Edit timing and style (font, size, color, effects). Optional: add a bilingual track.
  4. Export your video (captions burn-in) or export caption files if available.

Text-to-Speech

  1. Paste your script into the TTS panel.
  2. Pick a voice & accent, tweak speed/pitch, and generate.
  3. Place the narration on a track, align to your cuts, then export.

Tip: For Shorts/Reels, combine Auto Reframe with punch-in cuts and on-brand caption styles.

Fast workflows for vertical formats

  • Auto Reframe: duplicate your 16:9 timeline, convert to 9:16, keep subject centered, then export.
  • Hook + Captions: front-load the key line; apply bold caption style + emojis for retention.
  • TTS fallback: if audio is noisy, generate a clean TTS and mix at −6 LUFS relative to music.

Platforms & requirements

  • Web editor in modern browsers (no install).
  • Desktop apps for Windows & macOS.
  • Mobile apps for iOS & Android.
  • Direct publish to YouTube available from the online editor.
