Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the AI subtitle generator?

AutoClip uses AI speech-to-text, an industry-leading speech-to-text provider with high accuracy across accents, audio quality levels, and content types. Technical content and fast speech may have occasional errors.

Why do short-form videos need subtitles?

Over 80% of social media videos are watched without sound. Subtitles are essential for engagement — they allow viewers to understand content on mute and increase watch time significantly.

Can I customize the subtitle style?

Yes, AutoClip offers multiple caption and subtitle styles. Pro and Scale plans include additional customization options including font, size, color, and animation style.

Are subtitles burned into the video or added as a separate file?

Subtitles are burned directly into the video file in AutoClip. This ensures they display correctly on every platform, TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, without any compatibility issues.

Does the subtitle generator work for non-English content?

AI speech-to-text supports transcription for major languages. Accuracy may vary by language — English has the highest accuracy.

Can I use the subtitle generator without clipping?

AutoClip's subtitle generation is part of its clip pipeline. It transcribes, detects viral moments, and adds subtitles as an integrated workflow rather than a standalone subtitle tool.
