A simple caption workflow for event recap videos

FacelessVideoCap

For anyone publishing short event recaps, a repeatable caption workflow saves a surprising amount of editing time. I first clean the spoken audio, create a transcript, split long lines at natural pauses, and then check names, dates, and venue details by hand.

For the first draft I use this video caption tool, then review the result while watching once at normal speed and once without sound. The silent pass is useful because it shows whether the recap still makes sense for viewers who depend on captions.

Keeping captions to two lines and avoiding cuts in the middle of a name also makes mobile event clips much easier to follow.
