Captions that move with the voice.
Many Shorts are watched on mute. MyShorts burns word-by-word captions into every clip, in 21 templates from Karaoke, where each spoken word lights up, to One-Word Punch and Neon Glow. Add a hook title for the first few seconds, a progress bar and your brand logo.

A bold line over the first few seconds, written for each clip and editable.

A thin bar that fills as the clip plays, plus your brand-kit logo and colour if you want them.
Why animated captions matter for Shorts
On short-form feeds people decide in the first second and many watch with the sound off. Static subtitles get skimmed; captions that move with the voice hold the eye, and a hook title tells the viewer why to keep watching. MyShorts generates all three from the transcript: word-timed captions in one of 21 templates, an editable hook title for the opening seconds, and an optional progress bar. It burns them into a face-aware 9:16 clip in one pass, in full HD on every plan.

Common questions
Are the captions burned in?
Yes. They’re part of the video file, so they show everywhere: YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, WhatsApp Status and more.
Is there a watermark?
Free clips carry a small MyShorts watermark; paid plans, from ₹299 a month, have none. Free exports 1080×1920, Starter 1080×1920 and Creator 1440×2560.
Which caption styles are on Free?
Basic and Basic Box on Free, and you can still change their font, colours and position. Paid plans get every style, plus the hook title, progress bar and hashtags.
Can I edit the hook title?
Yes, on paid plans. Each clip suggests a hook you can rewrite before rendering, or switch the hook off entirely.
Do the captions work in Hindi?
Yes. Captions use the video’s own transcript, and Hindi captions render in Devanagari or in roman script (Hinglish).
Can I trim the clip before rendering?
Yes. Nudge the start and end a second at a time so the clip opens on the hook and ends on the payoff.
