Set the creative job

Create a caption system for a vertical UGC cut, then place each subtitle beat where it stays readable without colliding with the product, hands, face, or essential action.

Use this transcript and vertical cut to plan burned-in captions. Keep each beat easy to scan, avoid covering [important subject area], and use emphasis only on the words that change meaning. Return the placement plan before editing.

Questions creators ask

Where should captions sit in a vertical UGC video?

Place each subtitle where it can be scanned without covering the product, face, hands, or essential action. Break lines by meaning, keep emphasis selective, and review representative frames at phone size before burning the text into the final cut.

What context should I bring first?

Start with the final voiceover or dialogue transcript with the intended timing. Then add the vertical cut or representative frames showing where key visual action happens.
