How to add Quran captions to a recitation video
A useful Quran captioned video lets the audience follow the recited ayahs without losing the original sound. Start with a clear recording, generate the captions, then check the Arabic, translation and timing before making your export.
1. Start with a clear recitation video
Open Automatic Quran captions in DeenCreate and upload your recording. Keep the recitation audible: overlapping speech, loud background sound and abrupt cuts make automatic matching harder. A short, complete passage is easier to review than a clip that begins or ends midway through an ayah.
Use the upload limits displayed in the studio. Sign in to save your work, and check the estimated credit cost before you start generation. Eligible new accounts receive 10 welcome credits after email verification; the generation estimate tells you whether your balance covers this video.
2. Choose the translation and caption style
Choose an available translation if your audience needs one alongside the Arabic. Select a caption template that leaves enough room for both lines, especially on a vertical video. English subtitles can help English-speaking viewers follow the meaning, but the chosen translation still needs careful review.
Keep the original recording as the source. If you want a new video built from a selected reciter and ayahs, choose Recitation videos instead of uploading a video for captions.
3. Review each ayah and its timing
Once the project is ready, open it in the editor. Listen through the recording and check that the displayed ayah matches the audio. Pay particular attention to repeated words, pauses and the start and end of your clip. Automatic captions can need corrections.
Adjust caption timing so a line appears with its recitation and stays long enough to read. Check the translation, line breaks and Arabic typography. Preview contrast against the lightest and darkest frames of your footage.
4. Export and check the downloaded video
Export the reviewed project and download the finished video. Play the downloaded file with sound before sharing it. Check that the captions stay inside the visible frame and that the recitation and text remain in sync.
For Reels, TikTok and Shorts, leave room around the edges for platform controls and descriptions. Your saved project remains available in My Videos so you can return to the editor when you need another revision.
