How it works
How to add animated captions to your videos
Upload any video and our AI transcribes the audio with word-level precision, then overlays animated captions that highlight, bounce, fade, or pop in sync with your speech. The animations are timed to each individual word for a polished, professional look.
Customize every aspect: choose your font, colors, text size, animation speed, keyword highlight colors, shadow, background shape, and positioning. Save your style as a template and apply it across all your content.
Animation styles
What animated caption styles are available?
Choose from multiple animation styles that match your brand and content type. Word-by-word highlighting follows each word as it's spoken. Karaoke-style reveals text progressively. Bounce and pop add playful motion. Fade creates smooth, professional transitions.
You can highlight specific keywords with different colors to emphasize important terms, brand names, or calls to action. Multi-speaker support automatically changes caption colors per speaker.
Why animated captions
Why animated captions outperform static subtitles
Animated captions increase average watch time by 40% compared to static text. The movement creates visual interest that holds attention on platforms where viewers scroll past static content in milliseconds.
Top creators like Alex Hormozi, Steven Bartlett, and Gary Vee all use animated captions because they work. Our tool gives you the same professional look without a video editor or expensive software.

"The Choppity team have been shipping new updates to the product which I am quite happy about. It's getting faster and they are also giving us the features we've been asking for!"
Amy L.
Finance creator
"In the past I've tried to get my YouTube video editor to create mass amount of short form content, but they struggled. Economically it didn't make sense and the quality wasn't great. Choppity has been an INCREDIBLE asset in scaling up my short-form video reach. Having ALL the clips automatically clipped, styled and ready to publish has been the biggest lever to growing my businesses."
