How to add captions in ReelClip

Open your local video in Studio.
Use a supported MP4, WebM or MOV file and choose a short section. Members export up to 90 seconds per clip. Your original video stays on your device.
Generate a timed transcript.
With membership, choose an available provider. Creator can use limited shared Cloudflare AI when available or a customer-owned OpenRouter or NVIDIA NIM key. Creator AI includes a capped Cloudflare allowance. Selected audio and transcript may be sent to the provider; AI is not entirely local.
Review the transcript and select your clip.
Expand “View transcript” and choose a line to preview that part of the video. Check the words against the audio. Automated transcription can be wrong, especially for names or unclear speech.
Enable captions and choose a style.
Enable “Burn transcript captions into video.” Select Classic dark box, Bold accent or Minimal shadow. Review the output frame so the words remain legible with your chosen crop.
Export and review the downloaded clip.
Choose MP4 where supported or WebM. Use “Create and download clip” and keep the tab open during real-time recording. Watch the downloaded file with sound on and off before sharing.

Understand the current caption limits

Burned into the image

The words become part of the exported video and cannot be switched off like a separate caption track. ReelClip does not currently expose SRT or VTT import or download controls.

Review before publishing

Studio currently shows the generated transcript without a text-correction editor. If the words are inaccurate, do not publish them as verified captions. Use another caption editor when you need manual corrections or precise accessibility requirements.

AI limits and privacy

Cloudflare analyses are capped and may pause when shared capacity is exhausted. Creator AI allows at most one analysis per UTC day and up to 30 per billing period, with up to ten minutes of audio per analysis, plus service-cost ceilings. NVIDIA supports English audio up to five minutes per run. Customer-owned providers may bill or limit your account separately.

Manual trimming and export run in your browser. AI sends selected audio or transcript through the provider-specific flow described in the Privacy Notice. This page does not promise unlimited transcription or guaranteed accuracy.

Prepare the clip around your captions

Trim a local recording before export, or inspect a centered portrait crop. Check that important source text is not hidden behind the burned-in captions.
