Create captions that support a YouTube Short without obscuring the subject or key visual information.

Make captions fit the Short, not a blank template

Generate styled captions for a YouTube Short, correct the transcript and timing, and review the result in the final vertical composition.

Caption a YouTube Short

The right caption position depends on the shot. A talking head, screen recording, and product demo leave different usable areas.

Review text and timing first. Then preview the actual video, choose a style with enough contrast, and inspect the export in your current Shorts workflow.

  1. 01

    Correct the transcript

    Names and fast phrases often need a manual pass.

  2. 02

    Choose contrast from the shot

    Use outline, backing, or a different position when the footage changes.

  3. 03

    Review the posted composition

    Platform overlays evolve, so verify rather than relying on a permanent diagram.
