Follow these steps to style your video with subtitles (captions):

Record or Import a video

  • Create or Import your video by clicking on the "+" icon in the center of the bottom menu.

  • Then, on the projects page, click on the thumbnail of your video.

Add Captions

💡Pro Tip: Take into consideration that you can either add a Lower 3rd title OR Captions, not both. A lower third is a titling caption that appear on the bottom third of the screen.

  • On the next screen, choose "Style with Captions"

Now, you will need to select the language you prefer for your captions

👀 Only on iOS devices, you will be able to choose if you want to highlight your subtitles automatically with the BIGVU AI Emphasizer

Resize- Aspect Ratio

💡Pro Tip: To fully edit your video, simply click "Next" at each step. However, if you only want to focus on a particular step, you can select it from the icon bar at the bottom without completing all the steps

The first step of the workflow is changing the ratio of your video. Choose the ratio based on where you plan to share your video:

  • 16:9 (horizontal): This is the standard YouTube aspect ratio.

  • 1:1 (square): With the length and width of the video being equal, this is best for social media platforms like Instagram.

  • 9:16 (Vertical): Vertical videos (YouTube shorts, Facebook Reels) are growing in popularity. This is optimal for users who are typically on their mobile phones.

Crop

On the bottom of the screen, choose the crop option to center the screen as you wish.

When you have sized the video to your liking, tap Next.

👀 Note: If you click "Crop" directly in the sidebar, your video will be cropped to the last format selected.


Interesting to know: When you crop a video, an AI tool from BIGVU automatically crops your video intelligently, centered on the speaker.

Captions Design Theme

Now choose the Theme for the Captions (1). Each theme has a different font and color scheme.

Next, click "Your logo here" (2) to add your logo.

Logo

On the logo screen, upload a new logo or use an existing saved logo.

Use the slider to choose the size of the logo as it will be displayed in your video.

Choose the position of the logo on your video. Once you are satisfied with the results, tap next.


Background Music

Add royalty-free background music and boost the audio if necessary due to noisy surroundings or if you are a soft speaker.

Outro or Intro

You can also add an intro or outro to your video. For these, you can choose to include an animated business card or upload a separate video

Edit Captions

At this stage, you can also edit your captions.

Business Card as an Intro or Outro

Adding a Business card allows you to showcase your business information to your audience. You can include your own logo, company name, email address, website, and even your social media handles!

Edit your Captions

It is super easy to edit your captions. We automatically detect scenes, and you can choose to edit the captions per scene. I

To edit your Captions, just click the arrow on the right side of each scene and select option (3) Captions. Now you can edit the subtitles of this scene.

Highlight a specific part of the caption, by inserting a star (*) or slash (/) at the beginning and end of the part you wish to highlight. You can automatically highlight keywords on iOS devices. See here for more information.

Did your captions get cut off in the middle of a sentence? Are there too many captions appearing at once because the segment is too long? (4) Segments allow you to edit the segment duration. See here for detailed instructions.


After editing the captions, you can tap on Save and press Make Video to Save all the Video Styles you added. Your edited video will be added as a new take in your Project!

Once done, you can now download or share your video to your Social Media channels
