Creating video content is a fantastic way to engage your audience, but adding captions can enhance accessibility and reach. Descript makes this process seamless, allowing you to add captions with ease. This guide will show you step-by-step how to add captions in Descript, ensuring your videos are accessible and engaging.

Step 1: Upload Your Media

Open Descript and create a new project by clicking on the "New Project" button. Drag and drop your video file into the workspace or upload it using the "Select file" button. Descript will automatically transcribe the audio, providing the foundation for your captions.

Step 2: Edit and Correct Transcriptions

Once the transcription is completed, review the text to ensure accuracy. Use the "Correct" mode to make necessary adjustments. Accurate captions are crucial for viewer understanding and engagement.

Step 3: Add Subtitles

After editing, you can generate subtitles by navigating to the "Publish" button at the top-right corner of the workspace. Select "Export" from the dropdown menu and choose "Subtitles" as the export format. Descript supports subtitle formats like SRT and VTT, compatible with most video players.

Step 4: Style Your Captions

Customize the appearance of your captions by heading to the “Video” option. Descript allows you to adjust the font, size, color, and position of your captions to match your branding.

Step 5: Export Your Video with Captions

Once you're satisfied with the editing and styling, click on "Export" and choose your preferred format, such as MP4. Ensure that "Subtitles" are checked in the export settings to embed your captions directly into the video.

Step 6: Preview and Share

Preview your video to ensure that the captions are synchronized correctly. Once verified, share the video on your preferred platforms or download it for local use.
