Click Generate Captions, review the result, and make any edits you need before export.

​
1. Add Your Source Video

  • Paste a supported video link into the input field, or upload a file from your device.

  • Supported formats: .mp4, .mov, .webm.
  • Supported uploads start at 3 seconds and go up to 15 minutes.
  • Maximum file size: 2 GB.

​
2. Choose A Caption Style Or Brand Template

  • If you already have saved branded presets, switch to Brand templates instead.
  • You can use More Styles to browse additional caption looks.

​
3. Choose The Spoken Language

  • Select the primary language spoken in the video.
  • This helps Reap generate more accurate transcription and caption timing.

​
4. Set Translation

  • Optionally choose a Translate to language if you want translated captions.
If you do not need translated captions, leave Translate to set to None.

​
5. Choose Script Mode

Choose the Script mode:

  • Roman for romanized captions written in Latin characters.

​
6. Choose Resolution

7. Configure Optional Caption Effects

You can enable extra visual styling before generating captions:
  • Turn on AI Emoji to automatically add emojis where they fit naturally.
  • Turn on Keyword Highlighter to highlight important words in the captions.
Emoji and highlighter settings are optional. You can keep them off for a cleaner caption style, or turn them on for a more expressive social format.

​
8. Generate Captions

  1. Spoken language
  2. Caption style or brand template
  3. Emoji and keyword highlighter toggles
Those settings usually have the biggest effect on how accurate and polished the final captioned video feels.
