Common questions

Do burned-in captions affect YouTube Shorts' algorithm?+

Burned-in captions improve watch time and completion rates, which are key signals YouTube uses to distribute your Shorts. More completions mean more reach.

Can I use ClipCaption for longer YouTube videos too?+

ClipCaption is optimised for short-form content. Plans go up to 240 minutes of captioning so you can handle batches of Shorts in one session.

What languages does ClipCaption support for YouTube Shorts?+

ClipCaption supports 40+ languages including Hindi, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic — perfect for creators targeting multiple markets.

Is there a difference between Karaoke and Hormozi caption styles?+

Karaoke highlights each word as it's spoken with a colour change effect. Hormozi uses bold, large text that pops on screen — both are great for Shorts depending on your brand.
