Different Methods to Add Subtitles/Captions to YouTube Shorts    

But, how do you add subtitles/captions to your YouTube Shorts? Well, there are a couple of ways.

First, you can use the built-in way on YouTube Shorts to add subtitles/captions, called automatic captioning. However, this method poses a lot of restrictions, and customization is quite limited. Even though YouTube can auto-detect the language and generate subtitles, you may have to review them later.

The second option, which we recommend, uses the power of Artificial Intelligence. You can use an AI-based tool called quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai) to automatically add and edit subtitles and captions to your YouTube Shorts—or videos for other platforms, for that matter.

You get a couple of extra advantages as well. For instance, quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai) can help you find great pieces of content from an existing long-form video. Therefore, if you are planning to create a YouTube Shorts video from one of those YouTube videos, quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai) can be a great option.

How to Add Subtitles/Captions to YouTube Shorts using quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai)    

 Conveniently, you can use a three-step process to add subtitles/captions to your YouTube Shorts video. But it is worth noting that you get the room for customization in each of these steps. As a result, you can make your short videos stand out.

Step #1 Upload Your Video    

In this step, you have to upload the YouTube Shorts that you want to add subtitles to. However, if you have uploaded a long-form video on YouTube, you can import it to quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai). The best part? The AI-powered tool may even suggest better short-form content from the existing video.

You can do it once you have logged into quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai). Keep in mind that the importing/uploading process might take up to a few minutes. However, meanwhile, you can set up the preferences for the short-form video. It is a good time to pick the video templates from the quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai) collection.

The web-based app also lets you select the aspect ratio and a few elements for the video. For instance, you can provide the social media icons that you want in the video.

Step #2 Edit the Captions    

Here is the good part about quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai). It will automatically add subtitles to your video if the content is in English. Once you have selected the auto-selected short video from the options, you can start editing almost every aspect of the video.

To edit the subtitles or captions, you can go to the section titled Subtitles. Here, you can find options to edit each line of subtitles on the video. You could change the text if the auto-detection process was not neat. You also have options to change other aspects.

Step #3 Style Your Video    

After you have revised the content of the subtitle, you can go further by styling the video. You can change different aspects of subtitles text using font editors, including font, font size, size, spacing, etc. In fact, you get to make those subtitles as you want them to appear.

Once you have made these changes, you can download the video straight from quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai). Or, if you think you have found a unique way to present your content, you can save the template and use them later. Because all the processing happens on quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai) servers, you can expect quick download speeds.

Wrapping Up    

As you can see, adding subtitles/captions to YouTube Shorts is easier than ever. However, you may have to choose an AI-powered tool like quso.ai (previously vidyo.ai) instead of going for the built-in options on YouTube. This choice will save you time and effort while providing you with a better-appealing video.
