To make your subtitles visually appealing, tap on the text box to access customization options. You can change the font style, size, color, and background. Ensure that your subtitles are easy to read against the video background.

Step 6: Review and Edit Your Subtitles

Play back your video to review the subtitles. Make any necessary edits by tapping on the text box, ensuring that the timing and wording are accurate. Pay attention to punctuation and spelling to maintain professionalism.

Step 7: Export Your Video

Once you're satisfied with your subtitles, it's time to export your video. Tap on the export button located in the upper right corner. Choose your desired resolution and format, then hit 'Export' to save your video with subtitles.

Professional Tips
