    March 10, 2026 CapCut Official

    Adding subtitles to your videos is essential for accessibility and engagement. CapCut's auto-caption feature makes it incredibly easy. Here's how to use it.

    Step 1: Open your project in CapCut and navigate to the Text tab at the bottom of the screen.

    Step 2: Tap 'Auto Captions' and select the language of your video's audio. CapCut supports over 20 languages for auto-captioning.

    Step 3: Wait for the AI to process your audio. This usually takes a few seconds depending on the length of your video.

    Step 4: Review the generated captions. You can edit any text that wasn't transcribed correctly by tapping on individual captions.

    Step 5: Customize the appearance. Change the font, size, color, background, and position of your captions. You can also choose from preset styles.

    Step 6: Fine-tune timing. If any captions are slightly off-sync, you can manually adjust their start and end times on the timeline.

    Pro Tips: Use a clear microphone when recording for better accuracy. Speak at a moderate pace. Avoid heavy background music during speech sections.
