# Caption Animation

Turn a transcript or voiceover into word-timed, scroll-stopping captions: each word pops in on the syllable, the active word highlights, and the text stays glued to the narration. Build the kind of captions that drive watch-time on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — readable, on-beat, and inside the safe area. For short-form creators burning open captions onto vertical video.

## When it activates

- "Add animated captions," "make TikTok captions," or "karaoke captions."
- "Word-by-word subtitles," "auto subtitles," or "highlight the active word."
- "Burn in captions to a video" or "sync captions to a voiceover/narration."
- "Turn an SRT/transcript into animated text."

## Example prompts

- "Turn this Whisper transcript into karaoke captions with a per-word pop."
- "Restyle these auto subtitles into a branded, Hormozi-style reveal."
- "Burn word-level captions onto my voiceover and export a sidecar SRT."
