Ep3: Auto Caption VS Manual Caption (How to Edit Like a Pro #shorts #caption #editing)

Captions are a proven strategy to increase viewership for short videos. But how effective are they really, and how can you add them to your videos? This article explains the importance of captions, examines why they work, and provides a step-by-step guide on how to add both auto and manual captions to your videos.

Importance of Captions for Increasing Views

It's clear that adding captions to your videos leads to more views. But why does this happen? The audience for short videos often scrolls mindlessly. Captions can catch their attention, increasing the chances that they will pause and engage with your content. Higher audience retention directly translates to more views.

Steps to Add Captions

There are two main methods for adding captions: auto-caption and manual caption.

Auto Caption Method:

1. Open your video editing app (e.g., Kinemaster).
2. Navigate to the auto-caption option.
3. Download your preferred language pack.
4. Click on 'Generate' to auto-generate the captions.

Manual Caption Method:

1. Open your video editing app (e.g., CapCut).
2. Select the 'Text' option.
3. Click on 'Add Text' and manually type what you are saying in the video.
4. Extend the text to fit the relevant section of the timeline.
5. Split the text at the appropriate points, and double tap to adjust the text as required. Continue this process until the entire video is captioned.
