How to Auto-Generate Captions in VEED

VEED is a browser-based editor with a strong auto-subtitle feature that works for both horizontal and vertical video. This guide covers generating captions from scratch and getting them onto the canvas.

• A VEED account
• Your video file or a public video URL
• A modern browser such as Chrome or Edge

Step 1: Start a project and upload

On the VEED dashboard click New Project, then upload your media. You can drop a file, record from your webcam, or paste a YouTube link. The clip drops onto the timeline once it loads.

Step 2: Open the Subtitles panel

Click Subtitles in the left toolbar. You will see three options: Auto Subtitles, Upload Subtitle File, and Manual. Choose Auto Subtitles.

Step 3: Set language and generate

Pick the spoken language from the dropdown, leave translation off for now, and click Generate Subtitles. VEED transcribes the audio and fills the right-hand subtitle list with timed lines you can scroll through.

Step 4: Correct the text

Click into any line in the subtitle list to fix wording. Edits update live on the canvas. Use the timeline to split or merge a line if a caption runs too long to read comfortably.

Step 5: Style and export

Use the Styles tab to set font, size, and position, then click Export, pick MP4 at 1080p, and download. The captions render burned into the video.

Result: a five minute talking-head video is fully captioned and styled to brand colors without leaving the browser.
