We are rolling out powerful updates that increase video engagement and simplify content creation. Your users can now add captions to videos. Android supports crop and resize presets for quick, consistent formatting. Plus, the user interface is smoother and more intuitive. Let’s jump in!

# Boost Video Engagement with Captions

Add captions to videos on the **Web** and **Engine**! Your users can create closed captions manually using a simple **interface** with timestamps, or upload a caption file (`.srt`, `.vtt`).

This feature ships with animated style presets for clean, professional-looking captions. Of course, you can [add custom presets](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/create-video/update-caption-presets-e9c385.md) for captions to match your brand.

From short-form video to e-learning, captions have become a standard in content creation. They are essential for creating accessible and high-performing videos. According to Meta, captions can increase video view time by 12% on average. This is a feature your users expect and rely on.

Explore the Captions [documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/edit-video/add-captions-f67565.md) or try the [demo](https://img.ly/demos/video-captions.md).

Animated overlays clearly show that sources like videos are loading. Especially helpful during longer tasks such as AI video generation, these indicators reduce uncertainty and improve the overall user experience without interrupting workflow.
