How to Add Subtitles in Clipchamp

Use this interactive demo to walk through the steps of adding subtitles to your videos in Clipchamp.

‍

‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to manually add subtitles to your video.

‍

  1. Open video project.
  2. Click the Text tab on the left toolbar.
  3. Choose a simple text style.
  4. Drag the text style to the preview window.
  5. Type the subtitle text in the text editor panel.
  6. Drag the text clip to match the part of the video where it should appear.

‍

In the timeline, adjust the length of the text clip to match the dialogue.

📌 Why this matters

Adding subtitles manually gives you complete control over timing, placement, and styling that auto-generated captions can't match. You can position text to avoid covering important visual elements, sync perfectly with natural speech patterns, and maintain your brand's voice through custom formatting.

This precision becomes crucial when your video includes technical terms, multiple speakers, or background noise that confuses automatic transcription. Manual subtitles also let you add context cues, sound descriptions, and speaker identification that make your content truly accessible to diverse audiences.
