Deliberately plain: one line, bottom centre, revealed in place so nothing re-centres.

Make your own animated subtitles

Adds subtitles that appear a word at a time, timed to speech rather than dumped a line at a time. Say a sentence like the one below and your agent writes you a different one — free, in your browser.

Say this to your agent

>Add subtitles that appear a word at a time.

Or ask for a different one

Not settings — each one builds something else.

  • >Subtitles that appear a line at a time but highlight the word being said.

  • >The same pass with a background box behind the text for busy footage.

  • >Subtitles in two languages stacked on top of each other.

What it worked out on its own

  • Subtitles are furniture. Every decision here is the opposite of the kinetic caption reel, and the pair is worth having for exactly that reason.

  • The line is laid out complete and the words are revealed in place — a subtitle that re-centres on every word is unreadable.

  • Each plate arrives two frames before its first word: on the same frame it reads as a pop-up, slightly ahead it reads as a caption track.
