FAQ
Is the text part of the video?
Yes — it's burned into the pixels, so it shows everywhere: players, social platforms, editors.
Can I show text only for part of the clip?
Yes — set the start and end seconds and the caption appears only in that window.
Can I add animated or multi-line captions?
For word-level karaoke captions and styling, claim the clip into your library and use the Aperture caption lane.
