Adding captions to your screen recordings is like customer delight. It\u2019s like getting a complimentary upgrade to business class seating. Who would not like that?<\/p>\n

Captions help your audience follow what you\u2019re saying in the video. It makes their job easier. Especially if your audience base is from different countries, and they do not follow your language like a native speaker. <\/p>\n

It also tells your audience that you care about their convenience, and you\u2019re ready to go that extra mile. <\/p>\n

But generating captions is a tough job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, it depends. If you\u2019re following the old technique of writing a script, uploading it in an external editor, and finally exporting the video, then yes, it\u2019s a tough job. More than tough, it\u2019s time-consuming. <\/p>\n

An AI video caption generator<\/a> is your best bet for adding subtitles to your video. It\u2019s easy, quick and doesn\u2019t require an effort. If you\u2019re more extemporaneous and don\u2019t enjoy reading from a script while recording, then this is a match made in heaven. <\/p>\n

An AI caption generator automatically identifies the words and displays them on the screen for your audience. <\/p>\n

Step-by-Step instructions for adding auto captions to your video?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Follow the exact steps mentioned below and add subtitles to your videos. We will be showing the Free Vmaker AI Subtitle Generator here. If you don\u2019t have an account, you can create one for free.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Upload your video<\/h3>\n

Once you sign up, all you have to do is upload your screen recording to the Vmaker AI video editor<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Once you sign up, you\u2019ll be taken to the dashboard with an Edit Video<\/strong> option like this: <\/p>\n

\"Sign<\/center><\/p>\n

Once you click on the Edit Video button, you can either upload your screen recording video. <\/p>\n

Pro tip<\/strong>: If you use Vmaker to record your screen, then your recordings will be available in the My Recordings<\/strong> folder. <\/p>\n

\"edit<\/center><\/p>\n

Step 2: Generate subtitles for your screen recording<\/h3>\n

After uploading the screen recording video, you\u2019ll be taken to the editing dashboard as shown below. Then, you have to click on the Subtitles<\/strong> button. The sidebar opens up to a menu with two options to generate Subtitles. <\/p>\n

\"record<\/center><\/p>\n

Now, you have to click on the Auto-generate<\/strong> options and wait for the Vmaker AI to generate subtitles for you in minutes. <\/p>\n

Step 3: Customize the subtitles<\/h3>\n

This is the part where you can customize the appearance of the subtitle on your video. You can change the font type, color, size, alignment, and character spacing too. We recommend spending some time here to find out the best combination that will work for your video.<\/p>\n

\"Customize<\/center><\/p>\n

As you can see in the screen recording above, once you click on the Edit Styles button, you\u2019ll see three ways to customize the captions. <\/p>\n

You can pick from the presets we\u2019ve already designed for you. Once you click on the design you like, the text color, background, animation, and text effects change to fit your recording. <\/p>\n

Secondly, you can customize the subtitle styles from scratch. This gives more room for customization. <\/p>\n

Thirdly, you can pick any style from our hand-picked collection of viral styles from the top content creators around the world. We recommend you use the viral styles for any social media videos you\u2019re creating. <\/p>\n

And the best part? Every change you make to your subtitles is saved automatically. And if you want to tweak them, you can also use the Undo & Redo functions.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Download<\/h3>\n

After you\u2019re ready, download the video after pressing the \u201cExport\u201d button in the top right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n

\"export<\/center><\/p>\n
