Demo summary

Demonstrates recording a voiceover directly in CapCut and using the AI 'Auto Captions' feature to generate and style text overlays.

Step-by-step

  1. Click the microphone icon to open the voiceover tool
  2. Select 'Mute project' to ensure a clean recording without background audio
  3. Verify the microphone is active by checking for moving audio lines
  4. Click the red 'Start recording' button and speak your script
  5. Click the red icon again to stop and close the recording window
  6. Navigate to the 'Captions' tab
  7. Select the spoken language and click 'Generate'
  8. Go to 'Animation' to apply a caption template to the generated text

Options

  • Import an existing voiceover file instead of recording live
  • Use audio from an existing video clip for captions

Watch out for

  • You must have a voiceover or audio with speech in the timeline before captions can be generated

Tips

  • Mute the project before recording to prevent other timeline sounds from bleeding into your new voiceover
  • Check for the visual audio lines before recording to confirm CapCut is picking up your computer's microphone

Highlights

“This is one of Caput's biggest advantages.”
