Tighter Shorts with silence removal

Shorts reward pace. The export dialog has an option to remove silent gaps from the video.

Captions for longer videos

The same editor works for explainers, podcasts and interviews. Speech is split into short on-screen phrases, and the highlight styles pull out key words so a long video is easier to follow on mute.

How to add YouTube Short subtitles in three steps

1. Upload your video (MP4, MOV or WebM).

2. Choose YouTube Short as the spoken language. The captions are generated automatically, word by word.

3. Fix any word in the editor, choose one of 18 caption styles, and export.
