Add burned-in captions to dubbed videos

What’s new

If you’ve ever shipped a localized video and then realized it needs captions, you know the drill: export an SRT, open another tool, and burn captions in manually.

Now, you can do it directly during dubbing:

• Turn on Burned-in captions when creating a dub (it’s off by default)
• Captions appear in the dubbed language and are timed to the dubbed audio
• Each language version keeps its own setting, even if you edit the transcript and retranslate

This helps your dubbed videos work better in more places:

• Sound-off viewing (social feeds, autoplay in LMS, internal comms)
• Accessibility, without extra steps

What to know

• Caption sharpness depends on your original upload quality. For crisp captions, upload 720p or higher
• Captions use a fixed style (the same style as our existing burned-in captions), and Styled Captions aren’t supported for dubbing yet
