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):
1️⃣ Use rednote's very own "Subtitles" feature
- Upload or record your video.
- Tap “More” > “Subtitles” to enable auto-generated captions.
- Edit them before posting (limited styling options).
2️⃣ Add captions manually with the "Text" tool
- Tap “Text” on the right side.
- Type your captions manually.
- Set the duration for each one.
3️⃣ 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 it’s pretty limited. If you want clean captions, you’ll have to do it manually or use an external tool.
Anyways, anyone else experimenting with rednote? What’s been working for you?
