here's how to add captions on RedNote!! more relevant than ever before
The whole TikTok ban situation is pretty crazy, and since many of us are switching to rednote, I've also been messing around with rednote lately and realized how much captions help. Most people scroll on silent like on TikTok, so I thought I'd make a quick guide on how to add CC to your videos.
As we speak, these are your best options (note that I made the steps with chatGPT so it's easier to follow):
1ļøā£ Use rednote's very own "Subtitles" feature
- Upload or record your video.
- Tap āMoreā > āSubtitlesā to enable auto-generated captions.
- Edit them before posting (limited styling options).
2ļøā£ Add captions manually with the "Text" tool
- Tap āTextā on the right side.
- Type your captions manually.
- Set the duration for each one.
3ļøā£ Use an online AI for captioning
-
Upload your video to a tool (for example, sendshort)
-
Auto-generate captions in seconds.
-
Customize fonts, colors, and animations.
-
Export and upload to rednote.
rednote does have a basic subtitle feature, but itās pretty limited. If you want clean captions, youāll have to do it manually or use an external tool.
Anyways, anyone else experimenting with rednote? Whatās been working for you?
