Fix Captions and On-Screen Text

Setup

• Sign in to the workspace that owns the project, and open the project in the editor.
• Required files or assets: none. The project needs captions, text overlays, or spoken audio that can generate captions.

Step by step

1. Open the Text panel

Click Text in the left toolbar.

The panel shows Add Text Overlay, Text Overlays, and Autocaptions.

2. Fix a text overlay

Expand Text Overlays.

Set Font Family and Font Size, and adjust the text and outline colors with the pickers. Select a text clip in the timeline to restyle it, or click Add Text Overlay for a new one.

3. Fix autocaption style

Expand Autocaptions.

Use the same Font Family, Font Size, and color controls to keep captions legible over the footage.

If something blocks you

• Text is missing: you are on Home or a project card, not in the editor.
• A text clip ignores your changes: select it in the timeline first.
• Autocaptions is empty: the project has no generated captions — check that the audio source contains spoken dialogue.

Done

Captions and overlays read clearly in the preview.

Next actions:

• Play the full edit from the first hook.
• Click Export when captions, text, pacing, and audio are ready.
