What a clip looks like

A hook up top, captions below.

A vertical clip cut from a realtor's market update video Dallas: Buyers got their leverage back here’s what changed this month 0:34

This frame is from our own demo: a 10 minute Dallas market update recorded on a phone, cut into vertical clips.

  • The headline sits in a white box for the first 3 seconds. It names the place first, then says one thing, in about five words. It is placed clear of faces, of text already on screen and of the captions, and left out when there is no clear spot.
  • The captions follow your voice word by word, with the word you are saying highlighted.

The hook

Headlines held to strict rules.

A viewer who has not heard a word of your video has to understand the headline on its own. So every one is checked before your clip is made:

  • The place first. "Boise vs Meridian: What's best for you" tells a local viewer this is for them. Only a place you name goes before the colon.
  • One point, no question. A statement, not "Is now the time to buy?"
  • Only figures you said. If the clip says prices are up 2.6%, the headline never calls them flat, and never shows a number you did not say in that clip.
  • Short. At most 8 words and 45 characters, figures in digits ("$150K", "214 days").

Do not want a headline on a clip? Turn it off. Want different words? Type the exact headline, or ask the AI for a new one.

The captions

Captions that get the words right.

01 / PROOFREAD

Misheard words fixed

Before a clip is made, its captions are proofread. A name is fixed only to the spelling the video itself gives (its title, your introduction), and an ordinary word only when a second listen hears it too.

02 / STYLE

Four looks, three sizes

Original word highlight, Bold highlight, Word pop and Clean, in small, medium or large. Pick one and the clip is made again in that look.

03 / FIX

Change any word

Spot a word you want different? Fix it in the caption text, or ask the AI to. Your video already has subtitles burned in? We spot them, so two sets of captions never stack.

Questions

About captions and hooks.

Do I need to write the hooks myself?

No. Each clip gets its headline from what you say in it. You can change it, ask for another, or turn it off.

Can I add captions to a video I already have?

Yes. Upload it or paste its YouTube link. You get vertical clips with captions, plus posts and a newsletter from the same video.

What if a word cannot be timed?

It is shown as plain text without the highlight. The clip still ships; a caption is never a reason to lose a clip.

Which sizes do the clips come in?

Vertical 9:16, for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook.
