Adding captions will benefit your videos. According to Clip Magic, about 80% of YouTube videos are muted when watched. Thus captions are important, if not essential. Most video editors such as Canva, Opus AI, Invideo Ai, Veed IO, and Filmora include free automatic captions. The negative to the free options is that the free versions will include a watermark and have limits. Nevertheless, captions should be included.
The snapshot of the above caption is by Clip Magic, which offers much more such as special effects. I prefer the more noticeable captions for kids's videos, especially "Sing Alongs". But most channels are not for children and do not include sing alongs, so a free option will work and your channel will benefit.
Above is an example of automatic caption creation by VEED.IO which is a free editor and more. Even though the captions are automatic, you still have control.
In addition, there are about 36 Milllion viewers who depend on captions, and research also shows that Gen Z viewers are prone to rely on captions for more focus. The bottom line is that captions should boost your videos and you have a lot of free options, as well as superb paid options.
