Review the words first
Correct transcription mistakes, names, punctuation, and line breaks before polishing the animation. Listen to the audio while checking the caption timeline. A visually neat caption that appears on the wrong word is still wrong.Adjust timing
Move or trim caption segments so the text follows the speech. Keep enough words together to make sense, but avoid leaving a large paragraph on screen.Adjust the design

Use expressive word-level animation when the caption itself is part of the visual storytelling. Browse caption components for reusable treatments.Check the complete video
