“To export them.”

I personally use a hack, which is,

  • to use the green screen behind the captions generated,
  • and export the file,
  • then bring it to Adobe Premire pro or any editing app,
  • and remove the green screen with chroma key effects.
  • and here you go, with your video ready with captions.

Method 2 (Use captions app)

Steps:

  • go to “google play store” or “apple app Store.”
  • download “captions app”.
  • It’s a paid app if you want to export the video with captions generated from there.
  • but here’s the trick,
  • generate the captions on video, then
  • do screen recording. (haha)
  • then edit that video either in Premiere Pro or any editing software (by editing, i mean, just crop the video)
  • and here you go, with your video with captions.
