Guin builds captions from the transcript, timed to each word, and burns them into the video when you export. You choose how they look.
Captions panel open in the Smart Editor showing the style presets None, Clean, Bold, Chip, Social, Loud and Editorial

​
Open the Captions panel

In the Smart Editor, click any phrase on the Captions track. The Captions panel opens on the left with four tabs: Styles, Font, Colors, and Position. Choose what your changes apply to:
  • Whole video changes every caption.
  • This phrase changes only the phrase you selected, so you can make one line stand out.

​
Styles

A style sets the font, weight, colours, and pacing in one click.

​
Fine-tune

The active word, which is the word being spoken, can be emphasised by Color, by Grow, or left Off.

​
Ask the Director

You can also set captions in chat:
  • Captions on
  • Use the Social style
  • Make the captions smaller and move them to the lower third
  • Captions for LinkedIn
If you name a platform or a mood, the Director picks a matching style. Instagram and TikTok get Social, YouTube gets Bold, and LinkedIn gets Chip.

​
Fix missing captions

If part of a clip has no captions, the panel shows a note such as A stretch of this clip is missing captions. Click Repair captions to fill the gap.

​
Remove a caption

Select the Ripple delete tool and click a phrase on the Captions track to delete it.

​
Captions in other editors

When you export an Editor project for Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve, the download includes your captions as an .srt file. See Export.
