Captions that read on any background

Most social videos are watched with the sound off, so captions matter as much as the voice.

How captions look

• Captions are burned into the video and follow the voice word by word, with the word being spoken highlighted.
• They sit on a dark, translucent backing that fits the words, so they stay readable on any picture, including light pages, paper and busy footage.
• The caption style follows your video's look and format: footage edits, for example, show two or three words at a time with the key word highlighted.
• Captions are placed so they don't cover the text that is part of a scene.

Turning captions on or off

Captions come with the voice-over: a music-only video has no captions. You can turn them off when you create a Motion video if you plan to add your own.

Caption files

For Motion videos you can also download the captions as SRT or VTT files, to upload as subtitles on YouTube, LinkedIn or your own player.

Captions in other languages

When you translate a Motion video (Pro and up), the new version gets a new voice-over and its captions in the new language.
