How to Add YouTube-Style Subtitles with CapCut
Adding subtitles to your videos not only improves accessibility but also boosts viewer engagement—especially on YouTube, where many people watch videos without sound. CapCut makes it super easy to create clean, YouTube-style subtitles right from your phone.
Whether you're creating vlogs, tutorials, or reels, here’s how you can add professional-looking subtitles in just a few steps using CapCut or CapCut Mod APK. π
π₯ Step 1: Import Your Video
- Open CapCut
- Tap “New Project”
- Select your video clip from your gallery
- Tap Add
Your video is now on the timeline, ready to be edited!
✍️ Step 2: Choose Your Subtitling Style
There are two main ways to add subtitles in CapCut:
✨ Option A: Auto Captions (Quick & Easy)
CapCut has a built-in Auto Caption feature that uses AI to detect speech and generate subtitles.
How to Use:
- Tap on the Text option at the bottom
- Select Auto Captions
- Choose the language spoken in the video
- Tap Start
CapCut will automatically create text layers for each spoken sentence or phrase. π¬
You can then:
- Edit the text
- Change fonts
- Adjust timing
- Add animation or styling
π§ Tip: This works best with clear audio and minimal background noise.
π Option B: Manual Subtitles (More Control)
If you want full control, especially for stylized or translated subtitles, you can manually type them in.
How to Add:
- Tap Text > Add Text
- Type your subtitle
- Position it where you want it on the screen (usually bottom center)
- Adjust the font, size, color, and background
To sync with your video:
- Trim or extend the subtitle layer on the timeline
- Repeat for each part of the dialogue
π¨ Step 3: Customize the Subtitle Style
YouTube-style subtitles are usually:
- White text
- Black semi-transparent background
- Clear sans-serif fonts like Arial or Roboto
In CapCut, you can:
- Select a clean font (e.g., Montserrat, Classic, or Bold)
- Tap Style and choose a black background box
- Use fade-in or typewriter animations for added flair
π¨ Bonus: Use yellow for emphasis or add emojis to subtitles for casual or fun content.
⏱ Step 4: Adjust Timing and Sync
Whether you used auto or manual captions:
- Tap each subtitle box on the timeline
- Drag the edges to sync them perfectly with your speech
- Zoom in on the timeline for more precise control
This ensures viewers read the text in sync with the spoken words.
π€ Step 5: Export Your Video
Once your subtitles look clean and synced:
- Tap the Export icon (top right)
- Choose 1080p or 4K resolution
- Set FPS to 30 or 60 (depending on your video type)
- Export and save to your gallery
Now you’re ready to upload to YouTube with stylish, readable subtitles! π
