Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between cutting and trimming a video?
Cutting allows you to remove specific sections from any part of the footage. This gives you greater flexibility to remove unwanted content or restructure your post, making it ideal for more detailed edits.
Trimming, on the other hand, focuses on adjusting your video's start and end points. This shortens the overall length without altering the internal content.
So, trimming is best for quick adjustments, while cutting provides more control for in-depth editing. Both techniques are essential for refining your footage.
How do I combine multiple videos into one?
Turning several videos into one is easy with Captions. Simply upload all your clips and arrange them in your preferred order on the timeline. Make additional edits like trimming, splitting, or applying transitions to create a smooth flow between the clips.
To split a clip:
- Scroll — Click on the timeline.
- Select — Find the exact location where you’d like to split your clip.
- Edit — Choose “Split.”
To merge two clips:
- Scroll — Tap on the timeline.
- Select — Choose the transition point between the two clips.
- Edit — Choose “Merge”
Once you’re satisfied with your adjustments, export the project as one video file.

How long should my video be?
The ideal length of a post depends mainly on the platform and the audience. To make sure your content performs well, follow each platform’s guidelines:
- Short-form platforms (Instagram, TikTok) — Videos under 60 seconds perform best, as they engage viewers quickly. Share quick product demos, user-generated reviews, or humorous posts with followers.
