Quick answer
How do I add captions to YouTube Shorts automatically?
Create the clip in Klippah. Captions are generated and synced to each word automatically, and you can edit them before export. Klippah is an AI clipping tool that watches the Twitch and YouTube channels you choose and turns every new VOD into captioned vertical clips for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
How it works
- Step 1
Paste a link or connect a channel
Drop in a Twitch VOD, a YouTube video or podcast, or connect a Twitch/YouTube channel and Klippah watches it for new uploads.
- Step 2
AI finds the moments
Klippah transcribes the video, picks the hooks people actually watch and cuts them into vertical 9:16 clips with captions.
- Step 3
Review and post
Approve the clips you like, then download them or schedule them straight to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook.

Captions that keep people watching
Captions help viewers follow along in silence and make the hook readable in the first second. Klippah transcribes the speech and times each word, then animates the captions so the current word stands out. Choose a template and font, adjust size and position, and keep captions clear of faces and the app's buttons.
Always skim the captions for names, slang, and numbers. Fix any word in the editor before you export.
Captions plus clipping in one step
Klippah does more than captions: it finds the best moments in long videos, crops them to 9:16, captions them, and can post them for you. Paste a YouTube, Twitch, or Kick link, or upload a file.
