FAQ

Questions people ask

Updated October 2026

How do I add captions to YouTube Shorts?
Upload the Short (or clip one from a long video), pick a caption theme, and captions are generated from the speech with word-level timing and placed above the Shorts interface. Fix any word, then export the MP4 with captions burned in, or schedule it straight to YouTube
Are captions included on the free plan?
Yes. Captions, caption themes, editing and exports are free on every plan. Credits are only spent on AI work such as generating video, premium voices or extracting clips from a long source
Can I edit the caption text?
Every caption is an editable layer in the Studio. Change a word, split or merge lines, adjust timing, pick emphasis words and restyle the whole block without regenerating the video
Which languages are supported?
Transcription covers the major languages spoken in short-form video. Captions keep the language of the source audio; check the language picker in the flow for the current list
