Picsart Flow now adds AI captioning in 30 animated styles

Picsart Flow now has AI captioning in one node. Connect a video to the new Captions node, pick a style and run. Speech is transcribed and burned in as animated, styled subtitles, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Vertical video needs captions, and now they happen on the Picsart Flow canvas, right after generation. The clip never leaves the canvas.

What AI captioning in the Captions node does

The Captions node is an AI video caption generator built into the canvas. It transcribes the speech in a clip and burns the words into the video as animated captions. There is no prompt to write, because the style template is the only choice you have to make.

• Input: MP4 or MOV, up to 5 minutes and 50 MB.
• Aspect ratio in: any.
• Aspect ratio out: always 9:16.
• Where the result goes: the captioned video lands on a new node downstream.
• What happens to the original: nothing. The original clip stays untouched.

Captions for AI video, right after generation

Captions are the step that comes after the video is made. In Picsart Flow, that step happens on the same canvas, so the clip never leaves the canvas between generation and captioning.

Generate a clip, connect it to the Captions node and run. The captioned version appears on its own node downstream, so the source clip and the captioned cut sit side by side on the canvas.

How to add AI captions to a video in Picsart Flow

Here is how to caption a video with AI captions in Flow. AI auto captions take three choices at most: the clip, the style and, for a wide clip, the background. Everything else happens when you run the node.

30 dynamic caption styles to pick from

The Captions node ships with 30 caption styles. Buzz, Magazine, Neon, Hustle, Closed Cap and Minima are among them.

Since the node needs no prompt, the caption style is the whole creative decision. Pick the style, run the node, and the dynamic captions arrive already animated and styled.

Every captioned video comes out 9:16

Output is always 9:16, whatever the shape of the clip that goes in. A landscape or square clip is fitted into the vertical frame.

You choose what fills the rest of the frame: a black background or a blurred-video background. Either way, the AI video captions come out ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

What you choose and what the node handles

AI captioning in the Captions node splits the work cleanly. Three choices sit with you, and the node does the rest.

The original clip stays untouched

The video with burned in captions lands on a new node downstream of the original. Nothing is written over the source clip, so it stays on the canvas exactly as it was.

AI captioning use cases in Picsart Flow

The Captions node fits anywhere a clip with speech needs captions on screen. These are the jobs it is built for.

Captions for AI-generated video

Generate a video on the Flow canvas, then connect it to the Captions node in the same workflow. The captions arrive after generation, and the clip never leaves the canvas.

Short-form posts for TikTok, Reels and Shorts

Every output is a 9:16 video with the captions burned in. The finished file is ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Landscape footage turned vertical

A landscape or square clip goes in, and a vertical one comes out. The node fits the clip into the 9:16 frame on a black or blurred-video background, then burns the captions in.

Spoken clips up to 5 minutes

Any MP4 or MOV with speech, up to 5 minutes and 50 MB, can go in. The node transcribes the speech, so the words on screen come from the clip itself.

Several looks from one clip

The original clip stays untouched on the canvas, so the same clip can run through the Captions node again with a different style. Each run lands on its own node.

Try AI captioning on your next clip

Connect a video to the Captions node in Picsart Flow and pick one of the 30 styles. Run it, and the captioned 9:16 version lands right next to the original, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
