When to use it
For creators making spoken Reels, brands showing a narrated demonstration, and agencies applying readable captions to client videos.
Inputs, decisions and output
| Part | Details |
|---|---|
| You provide | Footage with intelligible speech, correct spellings for names and terminology, and your preferred caption treatment. |
| Shorty handles | Speech-caption preparation and rendered caption styling as part of the edit. Supported compositions can expose caption elements for targeted revision. |
| You control | A catalogue of 80 font families, including Inter, Montserrat and Bebas Neue; caption wording, placement, colour and animation through direction and revision requests. You can also request no captions. |
| You receive | An MP4 with captions rendered into the picture. Check spelling, line breaks, timing and mobile readability before publishing. |
How to use it
- Upload the spoken footage and describe the full edit you want.
- Choose an available caption font or name it in the brief; specify placement and the parts of the picture to keep clear.
- Play the result with sound and check names and timing.
- In the existing edit, request exact corrections. Select an editable caption element when the preview offers one.
Example instruction
Adapt this instruction to your footage and review the result.
Make a 30-second short from this product demonstration. Add speech captions in Montserrat with white text and a dark outline. Keep them above the lower interface area and away from the product. Spell the product name exactly as supplied. Keep complete spoken thoughts.
What to check
Caption styling and timing changes are editing instructions. The review timeline is for preview and inspection; it is not a full manual subtitle-track editor.
Text already baked into an uploaded video is part of its pixels. It may not be separately selectable. Review the rendered captions after changes. The output described here is an MP4 with captions in the picture.
