Why add captions to TikTok?
Many viewers watch with sound off. On-screen captions keep the hook readable in the first seconds of the For You feed and make dialogue skimmable. Animated styles also match the look creators already use in CapCut—without rebuilding the whole edit. See more ideas in aesthetic captions for TikTok.

Aura Captions vs CapCut (captions only)
CapCut is a full short-form editor with caption templates inside a bigger timeline. Aura Captions is built for one job: burn artistic animated captions into a video you already have. Use CapCut when you still need cuts, effects and music; use Aura when the edit is done and you just need styled subtitles.
