How Reels caption generation works
Generate the caption draft
Create timed captions and choose the output language before polishing the text.
Style and export
Review line breaks, placement, and export format before posting or handing off.
Reels captions have to work with the final frame.
A Reel often has talking-head footage, product shots, overlays, stickers, and platform controls competing for space. The caption track needs to be readable without hiding the point of the video.
AutoCaption gives you an editable draft instead of locking you into the first transcript. That matters for creator names, brand terms, product names, code-switched speech, and clips where a small typo changes the meaning.
What to check before publishing
Faces and product shots
Place captions where they do not block a face, hands, product, recipe step, or app screen.
Brand terms
Review product names, discount codes, shade names, ingredients, and campaign wording before export.
Line length
Keep Reels captions short enough for quick mobile scanning.
Reusable files
Export a captioned video for posting and keep SRT or VTT when a client or archive needs a separate track.
Export for posting or handoff
Captioned video
Use this when the finished Reel needs visible captions baked into the video.
SRT, VTT, or text
Use these when the caption track needs review, translation, archive, or reuse.
