Captions.

Explore the captions reading collection, with background concepts and detailed guides that connect terminology to practical decisions.

Caption can mean a short description of an image or timed text accompanying a video. Those outputs have different evidence and layout requirements. An image description should stay grounded in visible content. Video captions need accurate words and timing, and may be delivered as a separate text track or rendered into the picture. Define the intended meaning before asking a model or editor to create them. Frame samples alone do not supply the spoken audio required for a faithful speech transcription.

This archive places captions within the larger process of preparing social and edited video. Look for readable placement, safe margins, explicit time references, and a review of the finished sequence. The social video and captions overview connects the relevant steps. Test long lines and fast speech as well as a short clean example. A caption should remain useful when the aspect ratio changes, the subject moves, or the destination places its own interface near the picture's edges.
