# Edit captions, crop, and customize clips

Refine AI-generated clips: adjust captions, reframe to vertical, and add your branding before publishing.

AI-generated clips are a strong starting point. A minute of editing per clip — tightening the caption, reframing, and adding your branding — is what makes them feel native to each platform.

## Edit captions

Open any clip to access its caption editor. You can:

- **Edit the text** — fix names, jargon, or anything the AI misheard
- **Adjust styling** — change font, size, color, and position
- **Re-time captions** — keep words in sync with the audio

Accurate, well-styled captions matter: most short-form video is watched on mute, so the caption often carries the message.

## Reframe to vertical

Most short-form platforms (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) use a vertical 9:16 frame. ViralNote reframes horizontal source footage to vertical and keeps the active speaker in frame. You can fine-tune the crop position if the automatic framing isn't centered the way you want.

## Trim the clip

Drag the start and end handles to tighten the clip. A strong opening in the first second or two is the single biggest driver of watch time, so trim away slow lead-ins.

## Add your branding

Depending on your plan, you can add:

- A logo or watermark
- Brand colors for captions
- Consistent fonts across all your clips

Setting brand defaults once keeps every clip on-brand without repeating the work.

## Export or schedule

When a clip looks right, either download it or send it straight to the [scheduler](/help/scheduling/schedule-and-auto-post) to publish across your connected accounts.
