How to add AI Captions to your clips

Captions help your videos grab attention, improve accessibility, and boost engagement — especially on platforms where many viewers scroll with the sound off. Here’s how to add and customize them in StreamLadder.

📝 Step 1: Go to the Captions Section

After uploading your video and choosing your layout:

  1. Click on the Captions tab in the sidebar.

  2. Select the spoken language of your video (e.g., English, Spanish, etc.) so the captions can be auto-generated accurately.

🎨 Step 2: Choose a Caption Style

Pick a caption preset that fits your vibe.

🛠 Step 3: Customize Your Captions (Optional but Recommended)

You can further personalize your captions with three customization tabs:

🖌 Style Tab:

  • Font & Size: Choose from fonts like Sovereign, and select small, medium, or large text.

  • Colors: Adjust the fill, outline, shadow, glow, and background colors of your text.

✨ Effects Tab:

  • Some effects include:

    • AI Shake – Emphasizes intense or emotional words

    • AI Supersize – Highlights loud or impactful words

    • Random Rotation

    • AI Animated Emojis

    ...and many others.

⚡ Animations Tab:

  • Choose how your captions appear — e.g., Reveal, Slide Right, Fade In, or Bounce.

💾 Step 4: Save Your Caption Style

Once you're happy with your settings, don’t forget to click the Save button so your custom style is applied to the captions in your video.
