Auto captions for Reels, word by word

Pick a style when you start a cut. Each preview in the picker is a real frame reelaxe rendered, not a mock-up.

• 

  Bold pop. Big upper-case letters. Each word jumps to yellow as it's said. This is the default.

• 

  Clean. Sentence case, white text on a soft shadow, no highlight. For when you want the words to stay out of the way.

• 

  Karaoke. A cyan fill sweeps across each word as it's spoken and stays lit.

Or pick No captions and get clean clips.

reelaxe transcribes the speech with a timestamp for each word, and the captions follow those times. Lines break at the end of a sentence or at a pause, with at most two lines on screen. A caption clears soon after its last word, so nothing hangs on screen through a silence.

The language is detected from the audio, so you don't have to set one. Devanagari words are set in their own font.

Open a clip in the editor and the captions show up as a transcript you can edit. You can:

• fix a word the transcript got wrong;
• delete a word;
• merge two lines, or split one;
• switch to a different style.

The video plays your changes as you type. That's a close preview. Saving burns them in for real. Your line breaks are kept when you switch styles.

You can't retime words or add new ones. The timing comes from the speech.

Burned-in captions are part of the picture, not a separate subtitle file. They show up on any app or player, with no caption track to upload.

They sit in a fixed spot for each style. They don't move out of the way of a face.

Captions come with the Creator and Studio packs. The free trial has them too. Starter clips come without captions. You can still trim them.
