One video file.
Captions always visible.
Burned-in captions become part of the video pixels, so they survive downloads, reposts, and players without caption controls. Use them when every viewer needs to see the text immediately.

Works across social platforms
The captioned MP4 does not depend on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, or X rendering a separate subtitle track.
Style stays intact
Fonts, colors, outlines, placement, and word highlights are rendered into the exported video exactly as previewed.
Ready to cross-post
Export once and reuse the same file wherever the aspect ratio and safe zone fit the destination feed.
How it works

Upload the final cut so the captions match its exact audio and duration.
Generate and style
Review the transcript, choose a readable preset, and keep text clear of platform controls.
Export the MP4
Render a new video with the captions permanently included in every frame.
Frequently asked
What are burned-in captions?+
Burned-in, open, or hardcoded captions are rendered into the video image. Viewers cannot turn them off or restyle them.
Should I also export an SRT?+
For YouTube, Vimeo, courses, and accessibility workflows, keep a matching SRT as well. Use the burned-in MP4 for feeds where captions must always be visible.
Can I remove burned-in captions later?+
Not cleanly. Keep the original uncaptioned video so you can create another style, language, or placement later.
