Frequently asked questions
What are burned-in captions?
They are drawn into the video picture, so they always show — on Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp and anywhere else.
Can I use an SRT file?
Yes. Upload or paste .srt or .vtt subtitles; the timings in the file are used.
Does it create captions automatically?
Not yet — you provide the text or a subtitle file. Automatic speech-to-text captions may come later.
