Start from autogenerated captions so you are editing the message, not transcribing the entire walkthrough by hand.

How to add captions to a screen recording without slowing down the demo.
Use captions to make product clips understandable in feeds, launch pages, and silent autoplay. Keep them bold, short, readable, and aligned with the screen moment.
Edit pass
Captions should help the product story move faster.
The goal is not to subtitle every word perfectly. The goal is to make the viewer understand the demo even when audio is muted.
Make the active words readable
Use larger caption styling and strong contrast so the viewer can skim the clip without sound.
Keep captions tied to the timeline
Trim dead time and align captions with the actual product action so they support the demo instead of covering it.
Use cases
Use captions when the clip needs to travel.
Captioned screen recordings work better in social channels, embedded demos, and async updates where sound may be off.
