How to Add Captions to YouTube Shorts | Automatic Subtitle Generator

In this video, we show you how to add subtitles to YouTube Shorts automatically.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to easily add captions to YouTube Shorts within minutes! VEED's simple online video editor allows users to easily auto subtitle any of their videos. You're able to separately download your transcriptions/subtitles as TXT, SRT, or VTT format files (so you can upload the captions to your videos separately), or burn them into the YouTube Short to export and upload it to your YouTube channel (or TikTok, Instagram (Reels, Story), Facebook or other platforms). 🍀

Add Captions to Shorts | Tutorial

First, head over to the website VEED.IO. You can create an account for free.*

Next, click on Upload your Video. Then, click on Upload a File. Select the video you’d like to add subtitles or captions to. And then, click on Open.

Now, your video will be imported and uploaded into Veed’s online video editor.

To automatically add subtitles or captions to your YouTube Shorts, head over to Subtitles in the left menu. Then, click on Auto Subtitle. Find and select the language you speak in your video, and click on Open. Now, the audio in your video will be automatically transcribed to text, which will turn into subtitles.

Once it’s finished transcribing, feel free to edit your text in the text boxes on the left. Or, extend, shorten, split or add subtitles in the bottom timeline menu.

To customize the styling of your subtitles, head over to Styles in the Subtitle menu, and easily change the font style, size, color, background color, and more.

You can also reposition and rotate the subtitles, by clicking and dragging the side and corner options of the subtitles in the video frame.

Now, before we burn the subtitles into the video, I’ll show you how to download your subtitles separately first.

Simply head over to Options in the Subtitles menu. Then, under Download Subtitles, choose between SRT, TXT, or VTT format. I’ll choose SRT for now. Then, click on the download button, so you can upload these subtitles to your YouTube Shorts separately on YouTube.

But, to export the Shorts with the subtitles burned into the video, head over to the export button in the right top corner. Then, choose your preferred render settings. And click on Export Video.

After your video is rendered, simply click on the download button to export your YouTube Shorts with captions straight to your device.

Almost gave this video a thumbs up. To be fair, VEED is actually fantastic, and I am planning to use it going forward and purchase a subscription. HOWEVER, you should be more transparent: IT IS NOT FREE unless you want to export with a ridiculous watermark, nor can you download subtitles separately for free. Takes seconds to say this in the video guys, don't be so shameless

How did he do the subtitles at the very beginning of the video?

[jadacarrera]

Very clear and straightforward tutorial..👍👍👍👍 thank you 🙏

[mar.c]

This are very basic subtitles.. i want to know how to do professional grade subs. Like text in white and as you talk the text fades into yellow with each sylable.

HD/1080p with watermark is no longer free. I have been chillin with the watermark for my shorts, but I would rather subtitle myself than have 720p with a watermark.

Hello,
Do you know why, when I record a short on my iPhone, the sound is low at the beginning of the video and after 3 or 4 seconds, the sound goes up ? Thank you.

[azadbird]

Thanks bro I am really very thankful to you

[Thisisjustme]

Thanks I'm still a kid to know that but thank you

[danieltaylor]

ATTENTION! Once you play the video on veed the quality of the video will get very low sound and image. Take care and get the volume low so it won't affect your hearing. To have a good quality on the video on the site they ask to pay 60 euro per month

[healthwealthgurus]

Hello do you have the “style” used in Instagram reels? I’m looking that exact style

[xameedo]

i was wondering how to do it word by word, and customize and emphasize on select words?

[TheColonFamily.]

Awesome video! Thank you so much. 🙏🏻🫶🏻

[Chicago]

How do I download my shorts from Youtube to type in the text in Veed?

[KittyKiteASMR]

That ia so horrible, I didn't know about WATERMARK! Did all the job, and then had to delete whole video because of a watermark:((( and do manually again. 😩

[X-GamerPro-HD]
