Steps
- 1
Record clean audio
Speak in a quiet room, close to the microphone. Caption accuracy depends on audio quality.
- 2
Generate the captions
Use CapCut's auto-caption tool, or transcribe on your own computer with Whisper if you don't want to upload the video to the cloud.
- 3
Correct line by line
Pay special attention to brand names, product names and numbers.
- 4
Make it readable
Don't place text too close to the bottom edge; Instagram's interface can cover it.
Risks and things to watch
CapCut's terms of service grant ByteDance a perpetual, broad license to the content you upload; keep this in mind for videos with a client's face or voice. Automatic captions get proper names and numbers wrong.
