Tips

  • Captions cost 1 credit per minute of original video length. Included free when using Clippo Magic.
  • Caption accuracy is typically 95%+ — but always review and fix any errors before exporting.
  • Captions are burned into the video on export. If you want captions as a separate file, download the SRT before exporting.
  • Use the Bold style for short-form content (TikTok, Reels) — it’s designed for small screens and fast scrolling.
