How Auto Subtitles Works

Upload your video

Pick language and style

Choose the transcription language, then set the font color, highlight color, and on-screen position to match your brand or platform.

Burn in animated captions

Captions render with karaoke-style word-by-word highlighting and are burned directly into the video frames for 3 credits.

Download and publish

Get a ready-to-post file with captions baked in, then publish to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts straight from Viralance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add captions to a video automatically?

Upload your video to Viralance and the Auto Subtitles tool transcribes the spoken audio into timed captions, then burns them into the video. You pick the language, font color, highlight color, and position, and it costs 3 credits per video.

What are karaoke-style captions?

Karaoke-style captions highlight each word in a different color the moment it is spoken, instead of showing a full static line. Viralance applies this word-by-word highlighting automatically, and you choose the highlight color yourself.

Do auto subtitles get burned into the video or saved as a separate file?

Viralance burns the captions directly into the video frames, so they appear in any player and on any platform without needing a separate .srt or .vtt subtitle file.

Can I change the caption color, font color, and position?

Yes. Before rendering, you set the font color, the karaoke highlight color, and where the captions sit on screen, so the text stays legible over your specific footage.

How much does it cost to add subtitles to a video on Viralance?

Auto Subtitles costs 3 credits per video. That covers the automatic transcription, the karaoke-style animated highlighting, and burning the captions into the final file.

Do captions actually improve video performance?

Captions let people watch with the sound off, which is the default for most TikTok, Reels, and Shorts viewing, and the word-by-word highlighting helps hold attention. Together that supports longer watch time and makes videos accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
