Auto captions for short-form clips
FrameOS adds captions as part of the clipping workflow so creators can review and export clips that are ready for social viewing with sound on or off.
Captions built into the pipeline
Captions are generated alongside clip candidates and reframed outputs, so they stay tied to the short-form export instead of being a separate finishing step.
Built for social readability
Caption styling, placement, and burn-in behavior are part of the final clip workflow, which matters for Shorts, Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X.
Word by word, not static blocks
FrameOS captions highlight word by word in time with the speech rather than dropping in static text blocks. That cadence is what holds attention in the first seconds of a short, where a large share of viewers are watching with the sound off and deciding within seconds whether to keep watching.
Editable until you export
The common failure mode of caption tools is finality — once captions are generated, restyling means regenerating the clip. FrameOS keeps font, size, position, and emphasis live-editable through review and only burns captions in at export, so you judge the style against the real footage and the real crop before committing.
Burned in for cross-platform safety
Because captions are baked into the video at export, they play correctly everywhere with nothing extra to upload, and each platform's native caption system cannot strip or re-render them. Placement avoids overlays like the TikTok caption bar so nothing important is covered.

FAQ
Why do short clips need captions?
Many social viewers watch without sound or decide quickly whether a clip is worth watching. Captions make the clip easier to understand immediately.
Are captions part of the FrameOS export?
Yes. FrameOS is designed to create captioned short-form clips as part of the final render workflow.
Can I fix a misheard word or name in the captions?
Yes. Caption text is editable during review, so you can correct a name, rewrite a line, or change emphasis before the clip is rendered.
Are the captions burned in or a separate file?
Burned in at export, so the clip plays with captions on every platform without uploading a separate subtitle file.
