Auto Captions for KineMaster Videos
Auto captions for KineMaster videos: export your project, upload it in the browser, and get word‑by‑word animated captions without leaving your phone.
Create an account to generate and export your captions.
Why you need timed captions
You finish a KineMaster edit on your phone, then you want the commentary to stay readable when the sound is off. A static subtitle block can cover the lower third where you placed your title cards. Word‑by‑word captions appear only as you speak, keeping the screen clear for the visuals.
Sycamore transcribes the audio, adds timing to each word and lets you edit any mistake. The result is an animated caption that follows your voice, not a block that sits forever.
Common caption mistakes
Leaving captions at the bottom where your KineMaster lower thirds sit.
Put captions at the top or center so titles stay visible.
Using a font color that blends with the background footage.
Choose a highlight color that contrasts with most of your video.
Showing a full sentence on screen during a fast cut.
Reduce words per line so each burst reads in a split second.
